bluestarsfco Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Blue Stars also used them in 2000...Caption Head marched BD. For me it isn't so much the act of playing a space chord...but the resolution that follows it. Goodsebumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 It's amazing how in tune a chord is after playing a space chord, as if your ears are desparate to be in tune after all that dischord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Clark Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) We (Spirit) did it in '77. But in honor of a recent, popular film that season, we always called it "The Light Saber". I don't remember if it was due to a visit from Jim Ott, or that it was already going around the activity.

NeMeSIS MiNd Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 We had a nice tritone in part one of our closer. Normal warm-up we'd do all sorts of chords including space chords. We'd usually warm-up with Bb on field tuning but on finals we did it with Shotgun. Very cool... love dissonant stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritContra Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 i think spirit has done them in the past, not particularly last year, but in 2001 and 2002 i'm pretty sure we did them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirefenix Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Teal Sound did one for warmups at the NC show. We held up a tuner in front of the arc. Then when we hit the dischord I've never seen a needle jump so much. The spooky thing was, when we resolved to an F-major triad... The needle instantly jumped to DEAD CENTER and stuck there. I nearly wet my pants. The best hornline I've ever played with. Think the B-flat horns had something to do with it? lol *drool* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I have a recording of our space chords before our 84 finals performance. Tons of power on display from that horn line. I have that file (THANK you for sending it!)...nothing quite like a LOUD cluster #### of a chord that resolves into a major chird, followed by the Close Encounters bit! GOD, what a line I was a part of!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Vk 84 just before re-entry (please dont ask what that is) So Cal dream warm ups assending and desending thru the arc Rear-entry?? ^0^ Actually, I don't think the space chord before the company front in 84 was as dissonant as it could've been...

84BDsop Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 The Renegades did a lot of space chords in warm-ups this year, which was fun watching the non blue devil alumni try to figure out what all the hand signs were ^0^ I was lucking enough to be apart of the 84 devils line Rob was talking about, and playing space chords in that hornline was nothing short of thrilling. As far as in a show, it was great to see Devils put in the space chord in the show this past year...very kewl! Kimela Heh...still happens, Kim. Jesus Soliz of Dream is an 88 BD alum, and he knows the signals. I remembered them, but the guys who came from other corps had a hard time! At least we spare Soos the whines of ($1 to Beth Geick) "Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
