He was also marching Contra when he wasn't singing. Not a one trick pony. Another one who seemed to just "appear" from out of nowhere when it's his time. We never think to check the horn line. He also is a great performer. Like I said to a fan sitting behind me -- I'd like to see where he is in the next 5 or so years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewArpege Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Best Opener: Boston. Lots of energy and was so happy to see them at the top of the pack. Best Closer: Crown. That ending drill was unrivaled in effect and speed. Loudest: Crown/SCV. Great music from both, and they knock your socks off. Soloist: Trumpet player in Crown. Soooo clean and technical perfection. Snares: SCV. No surprise They are legendary for their snares. Uniforms: BD. Love how they lookin the opening on the stairs. Very visually impactful.

wvu80 Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Man, you guys have such an eye for the details I missed! I was surprised so many of you picked some Bluecoats Alumni moments, as did I. There were so many Big Moments I didn't expect. They were just fantastic.
