kdaddy Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I really, really liked last year's BAC show. I'm not feeling this one... yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbass598 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Is it just me or is the front ensemble small? Only 4 marimbas and 4 vibes? Seems pretty small for today's standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Actually, the front ensemble has 15 members. It is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some of them not perform because of space issues or something then? I didn't count the full front ensemble but I don't think there could have been more than 12 out there. 8 keyboards, timpani, synth and a couple rack players maybe? That couldn't have been the full front ensemble there for the concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having spent time with them in Vermont, I can tell you that there are 15 members and Mallett instruments as far as the eye can see. I think you will be pleased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've loved their brass book for the past several years. After listening this morning, I'm hoping it'll grow on me with the show design? For me, I think it's just a material issue. Love the percussion book! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn426 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Thank you BFDTV! Much better quality there. That Bari Soloist is off the charts. I thought on first read that many of the sounds where added effects, NO that dude is literally up in that register, Lip trilling, Flutter tonguing his ### off. Can't wait to see that Section performed on the Field. Ground-breaking stuff for DCI. Edited June 22, 2022 by Glenn426 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I counted 14 and 4 marimbas seems to be a low number. Perhaps it was just a single marimba missing and everyone else just sort of blended in the background of the camera angle. Also how tall is the end tenor player? He looks at least a full 6 inches taller than the rest of the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
