George Dixon Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 9 hours ago, karuna said: Huh? Wow I have never seen a worse characterization of Thom Hannum's writing. His books are extremely musical, very sensitive to the rest of the ensemble and are full of large changes in dynamics. In fact it could almost be called deferential to the full ensemble. Playing "loud, loud and louder"? Utterly. Completely. Wrong. Have you ever actually listened to anything he's written? THANK YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craiga Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 15 minutes ago, George Dixon said: oh, that's just something, Hannum???? He's just isn't the flavor du jour - he's a brilliant and EXTREMELY musical arranger George, I agree. Thom Hannum can be arguably considered the father of modern dci percussion. Tom Aungst and Colin McNutt are each a protégé of his. Over the past several years I have become friends with several recent Crown alums. I get the impression that a member of the Crown brass staff has had an outsized amount of influence over pretty everything over the there. If true, that may explain Thom taking his leave. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brits do this better than anyone else. Almost like a certain Drum Corps from Schaumburg used it for inspiration. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know how to do a send off right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
