MikeN Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 That's a darn shame. Boerma *was* the Madison sound for so many years. I'll be curious to see who they get next. Might be time to reinvent their sound and approach. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the copywrite ever runs out! Pieces like this are timeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Count me as one of the many people that loves Scott's arrangements from his first stint with the Scouts. That said, I don't think he did anything that distinctive in his more recent stint. Maybe he needed more creative control, or maybe he just needed an old school show design to bring the sound back, but to me this is more of a sentimental loss than anything.

Really #### poor attempt at trolling from a guy who has less than 90 posts over the last 16 years, almost all of which have been about Madison, and almost all of which have had some type of negative implication. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never really got the hang of arranging for Bb/F horns the way (say) Michael Klesch did. Edited August 17, 2018 by Hrothgar15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be interested to learn why that is... To be honest I’m not entirely sure that’s the case either. I thought 2005 Scouts was great writing. I think when he gets to arrange a full tune he does a great job, but the choppiness of a lot of the shows he has been asked to write for doesn’t seem to suit him (or any arranger for that matter) well. I missed him by a year at Spirit, and was 2 years after him as well as 3 years before him at Madison. It would have been great to perform a book he wrote (not that I can really complain... Jim Prime and Robert W. Smith were awesome to learn from). Edited August 17, 2018 by weedyweidenthal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
