kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 First on the field is the Columbus Saints from Columbus, Ohio. Their 2022 program is entitled “A Mixtape” and consists of: Canon in D Symphony No. 7 Bolero L'Arlesienne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Following in the footsteps of the Bluecoats (and the Seattle Cascades before them), the Saints have a key tar player in their front ensemble. They also have an electric string player of some type. I’ve never send this design before, so I’ll be sure to post a picture during the performance.

kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 We open with the tubas and the familiar bass strain of Canon in D. The rest of the corps builds on that sound, including the string player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 And the string player has now put his instrument aside and taking up trap set. Slight change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Nice drum groove underneath the Canon. a great deal of drill happening on the field for such a small group, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Tenor solo starts the next selection, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. Currently all pit and percussion, but the brass joins in shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 If you’ve heard the Beethoven in Havana track which was viral a few years ago, this is at least similar to that arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Only 7 brass, so everybody is exposed in this entire show. I do not envy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
