kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Holy 16th note runs, horn line! Also, the two tubas are putting out a wonderful foundation for the horn line to sit on. Crowd was impressed with the 16th note runs and applauded through to the end of the movement. Baritone soloist to Open Who Wants To Live Forever, accompanied by a solo flag. Now a brass quartet with one horn from each section for a SATB voicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Horns now form tight pods on side one of the field for the chorus of the song before spreading out across the field. Guard just pulled out a large banner with names on it. I can’t really make them out so I don’t know the context, but, judging from the song title and show theme, I’m guessing these are people important to the corps members who have passed away. Minuano. Metheny always works well on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Corps really getting the 6/8 jazz feel down wonderfully. Nice trumpet solo, as well! A little lean back by the horns during the impact before the pit takes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Drum line joins in with the pit on the second iteration of this section of the song. Horns come back in on the main theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Tempo picks up as the corps heads into the finale of the show. Trumpet soloist officially now a trumpet screamer after taking his last note up the octave. And then another note even higher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrownBariDad Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I think Southern Knights is Open Class. Early Corps are mixed Class A and Open based on scores. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Next on the field and competing in DCA Class A is the Sunrisers from Long Island, New York.

kevingamin Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 OK, since they’re not keeping the classes separate, I’ll refrain from saying what class they’re in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
