queenanne_1536 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I have a question, and sorry if this has been asked and explained a 100 times, but why is the drum line in black and hornline in white. I quite like it, but I don't know the reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally , I think it’s pretty unique what they do there with the gutteral sound , and hope they make little changes in it moving forward . Whatever they do there , I personally don’t want any substitute for the snake / devil sound to become pre programmed sound engineered , instead of performer based playing there . Besides , what the brass performer soloist plays there is a very demanding piece of rather unique playing to achieve what he achieves there in tandem with the percussion playing. Thus, he is demonstrating his uncanny brass instrument playing talent versatility , imo As such , for these reasons I personally like it as currently constructed and performer performed . I don’t think the instrumentation is necessarily the issue that poster is talking about. He only commented on that because someone else called it “novel.” The main point he’s making is about the pacing of the section itself, not the instrumentation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All jokes aside, it does seem like a pacing issue as of right now. (I’m sure it will continued to be developed over time) but also may need some serious revisions by the design team. They could have used a trombonium... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was involved in the design of the show and had as many passthroughs, crossthroughs, and contrary motion drill moves at a high velocity, I might make use of the contrary colors. But that's just me 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the guard uniforms too. I'll be watching this show throughout the year. IMO the design is defo better than 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling that the drumline is considered to be the serpent in the Garden of Eden... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
