Marching around with your upper body locked in form is much easier to produce a consistent brass tone than, say, bent 45 degrees sideways and then switching positions in the middle of a passage. The core strength required by modern drum corps brass is just silly impressive. Go back and watch 1993 Star, really watch it. As impressive and ground breaking as that show was, the visual ensemble was a mess. Just lots of little glitches in timing of forms and movement. They were doing something SO new and SO difficult (for the time) that it never QUITE gelled as a whole. Every corps in the Top 12 today, probably the Top 25, is doing a visual book with demand that blows 93 Star out of the water. I'm not saying it's BETTER. That is a matter of opinion. As N.E. Brigand said earlier, non-stop movement is like music with no rests. But what the kids do today is sure as heck a lot harder. That's inarguable. Go watch Garfield ‘85. Seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to Boston actually, his arrangements for Boston just don't do anything for me. Though at the cadets I wasn't a fan of much of his arrangements in the 2000s. At the same time, he has arranged one of my favorite brass books ever (Cadets 2013) He has been phenomenal at Blue Knights in my opinion. Im guessing the differences has to do with the design teams involved 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 You gotta admit, that's a cool Goliath character. +++ Boston could have brought the house down if, when marching the stick figure Goliath the tubas (the head) separated from the rest of the body. +++ OK, that was a gory ending. Apparently, the crowd likes gore. 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedrick Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Dan's question to Goliath? So how did that feel when your head was totally visible after you were supposed to get your head off? 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCI-86 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) I have never seen a guard this good. That was phenomenal and flawless. The guy playing David is just fearless and amazing. They deserve a perfect score in guard. Edited August 10, 2019 by DCI-86 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
