BRASSO Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) For those interested, and have access, Marching Arts Education posted today on their website an interview with Boston staffers Leon May and Keith Potter. Other Boston staffers interviews will be posted on there later this week... They will discuss what goes into their Design of the production of their 2019 Boston Crusaders show. They'll be no reveal, just insights on how the Design of the show takes place from a thought process standpoint, time schedule standpoint, collaboration standpoint, and then the ultimate on field implementation of the Show Design with others there on the instructional Staff at Boston at Move Ins come May.. https://marchingartseducation.com/boston-crusaders-april-camp-2019/?fbclid=IwAR3xABu31jjqSxGl_VoHIP76klPT-xW5SB-cqPIb466fGOx_H5fPZTZI8A0 Edited April 30, 2019 by BRASSO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. I don't recall at the moment what their comments were from last year that you are referring to here, so I guess you'll have to listen for yourself later to determine this. That said, neither the 2019 Theme, Music has been announced yet publically, so its basically just the two of them answering the interviewer's questions and talking process here in the interview. I found it a rather interesting segment, but if one is primarily looking for music reveal, theme reveal, marcher talent reveal, etc and so forth... this ain't it.... by " design "... haha!

Popular Post Ediker Posted April 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2019 For the curious, some general observations from the exhibition: The music is drawn from several different art forms (pop, film, etc.) with the eclectic melodies cleverly weaving together into fantastic builds... recognizable, memorable, and musical. Contrasting with the last two years, it is possible we'll hear more soft passages interspersed with the hard charging moments, providing more variety to the sound. As someone else mentioned, brass is not tight, but it's appropriate for an ensemble in April, particularly with a book this tough. It was a long weekend of playing, and by Sunday the tone sometimes got edgy in the trumpet section... though nothing more concerning than "final exam chops". They made up for it by demonstrating expert execution of some double-tongued decrescendo passages. Very sweet stuff. Praying that these moments don't get lost in the amplification. This is a very talented line with an ambitious book. Endurance will be key to delivering on the field. Get ready to hear plenty of complex articulations -- all sections, all levels -- that go well beyond top-12's seemingly compulsory chromatic runs. There will be MELODY while the valves fly! They will have tongues like machine guns by July. The rhythms and meter signatures are varied and interesting. It will be fun to see what the drill/movement people create to accompany them. The percussion section stands out due to their age and performance maturity. Even a layman can tell they're darn good.. and ready to take on this summer's challenges. The percussion breaks seem better integrated into the overall musical flow than in the past (either that, or they're not yet in the show). Didn't get to see the guard... no doubt there were tough membership decisions in progress. 10 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
