Excellent crowd, beautiful weather. No uniforms, no props. And ... no cymbals. Like, at all, anywhere. They're absent from the instrumentation by design. Lush, lush brass. Without the overtones of cymbals everywhere, it has a kind of dry, choral quality. Many exposed entrances. They are really going for the volume, but there is lots of that dynamic range BK does so well. Three soloists at the opening. And they move, a lot. The first 90 seconds are vintage BK tension build, with a battery setup to the first hit that is sneaky perfect, like a fuse on firecracker. The entrance of the tenor feature will have the quadheads out there smiling. The overall battery sound is tenor-forward; snares didn't project as much as I expected. Perhaps a staging matter. Oh, for the drum nerds: the battery is skinned in a blond wood look. Very neutral, and elegant. Dont know the finer points of guard, but I can say they are up front and featured through the opener, mostly on equipment work. In the second movement they mix it up in the brass quite a bit. Mark Arnold told the crowd that the corps will wear the 2019 uniform the standstill in Denver on Thursday. Thx for the report! I was hoping someone was there.

Call me intrigued. a slight correction. there are 8 tiny cymbals on the FE boards, all but one appearing to be no larger than 6", and the 8th is only marginally larger. posted from the DrumScorps app Edited June 21, 2019 by 2muchcoffeeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2muchcoffeeman Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Saw them at Denver standstill today. The second movement -- an original by Bocook/Shaw/Jackson -- is pure BK rocket fuel. Holy cow is it loud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 "...I Remember Everything" is the show title. I linked to a picture of their rep in the programs thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herk Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything Hurt - Trent Reznor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
