FLBuzcut Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Mandarins did not get quite the same reaction as Crossmen and Regiment. Nice applause but no standing O. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The narration is from a short film called Ellis, starring Robert DeNiro about an immigrant remembering his first arrival at Ellis Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Three soloists play minor Tritons from within the mirror prop staged around the field. Very mournful and effective with the narration. Percussion is fading in and out on rolls, also rotating on the field to change the sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You can tell the Broken City influence from Mike Jackson in the percussion writing, like the most subtle of buzz rolls in the snares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 After the intro, we go into Water by Jay Bocook. Low brass with tenors to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Full horn line now in. Flags have red and blue flags which stand out against the muted colors of the horn and guard outfits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This is one of the things I love about the current iteration of the Blue Knights - They tell a story in everything they do. Even the music and movement portray what the show is about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
