MelloNell Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 OK I love the show, but why can’t they give that painter a pallet and a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake W. Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Sorry, I just can never get into Spartans' shows. I readily acknowledge they are STRONG this year, and large, and that color guard is on fire! But my usual complaint with them remains: they don't produce quality full ensemble brass sounds, especially when following rich lines like LAStars, 7Regiment, & Guardians. I get it, visual is their strong caption, and I totally see why they receive the scores in that caption that they do...it's just hard for me to listen past that spread & thin brass sound. That Claire de Lune impact is just not my idea (or a traditional pedagogical idea) of excellent balance & blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 One area where I have always wished to see improvements out of the Spartans is in their brass performance. I think they've really turned it up a notch this year. This is probably the best sounding Spartans brass I can remember hearing, even dating back to their Div 2 championship days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, I literally just replied saying how I've noticed a substantial improvement this year. It has historically been a weakness, I agree, but I do notice a lot of improvement out of them this year especially. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited August 9, 2018 by Musicman1084 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
