Not sure why - mainly because I'm not a brass person nor a music major etc. But the show has times where they up the decibels but even still - the ensemble is weak. Maybe some of you Smahht kids can school me. Nope, no schooling. You are all correct. It has certainly been their biggest weakness over the years (they've always been VERY strong visually - I believe they've often come close to top 12 in guard way back when Division 2 used to compete in Quarterfinals). Everyone is correct when they say the ensemble sound is fairly thin compared to their immediate competition. I just think this year is probably the strongest, or at least closest to addressing it, in many years. Side note: maybe there are others with more knowledge than me in terms of current membership, but I remember back in the day they used to have a LOT of woodwind players filling out the brass line. back in the days of Division 2/3 (where finals took the highest 5 from 2 and 7 from 3) only corps who broke 90 could advance to Quarterfinals and with good reason. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KVG_DC Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 As I expected, seeing the high cam centered on the 50 makes big difference for the two toned effect. Michigan City having to set on the 40 doesn't quite capture it. And my question about the black fringe is answered. It's there for the corps but not the guard.

That’s all you would watch. I ended selling my pair of white marching shoes to the parent of one of the MMs for almost that exact reason. They were wearing a black shoe that was spray painted white.
