I don't think it will hurt them, but great recovery. I will say I do enjoy this show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve written extensively on how everyone sounds the same now but the Blue Devils’ arrangers are just better. They voice the brass like a jazz band, not like a concert band trying to play jazz. That’s the best description or comparison I know to use. Yes. When you're listening to it without seeing it, it's hard to imagine you're not listening to a small jazz ensemble playing at a summer festival somewhere near a beach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdValvesAreForWimps Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just now, quijeros said: Yeah, there was a noticeable tear in the exposed trumpet line near the end of the show. In the old days when brass execution was a category such a thing could wreck your whole night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it on high camera tonight, and that does not seem accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Corps Fan Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Devils : the out of the gate fanfare is the brightest sound of the night - like they all just had a helping of sugar or something. Soloists sounded like they had some problems, and the “Laura” fanfare toward the end sounded dirty. Won’t catch SCV that way (if that’s even possible). I have confidence it’ll be cleaner tomorrow. posted from the DrumScorps app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_another_fanatic Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I was thinking in the shower how funny it would be if, during the SCV horn snap, someone from the audience yells “KRYSTLE!!” They would be murdered on the spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
