Best sound of G-bugle era?

[wolfgang]

Which corps do you feel had the best sound (tone quality, blend, intonation) of the G-bugle era?

B flats were legazized in 2000 and for that season some corps used Gs and others Bb. I believe by 2001 most top corps if not all were on Bb's.

Star of Indiana 1993 and Blue Devils 1988..I'm sure there are others but these two came to mind..peace

From a completely unqualified drummer's POV, you can't have this conversation without Madison in the 70's being mentioned.

Argonne Rebels proved that G lines (valve-rotor even!) could indeed play in tune.

Santa Clara Vanguard '89. That closer is one of the most beautiful bits of brass playing I've ever heard, even through my crap speakers.

BD and Star were the most consistent for me.

i think star 93 had the most balanced and in tune horn line ive heard from that era. It's the quiet stuff. it seems the more quiet a G bugel line plays, the worse they sound. Star sounded great while playing quiet.

Before the power of the Crown hornline was the raw power of Spirit 1980.

That Jim Ott horn line gets my vote!

I always thought there was raw power in BD’s brass lines in 70’s & 80’s.
