britdrums Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 It's interesting to see, in a post below, someone make the comment that the cleanest line takes home the trophy. This is something that I believe in very strongly. OK maybe not everytime, but for me the whole point is to have a clean for Finals. What's you guys' philosophy on what to do if it's looking like your line's not going to be clean. Do you cut the part, water it or what? I hate seeing/hearing dirty lines at Finals. There is no excuse IMO. cheers Nick Northern Star (UK) 1993 - 2002 sabbatical 2003 - ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulka Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Get out the hose and water the parts. I'd only take a part out if it's musically innapropriate or it just doesn't sound good watered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapettes Mom Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 As painful as it is for the players with more ability you have suck it up and water the parts down. I was watching Brigs snare line at DCA prelims this year and it was really sad. I felt pretty bad for those guys. Fans surrounding me were saying what the **** was that? I'm sure they had a much better finals performance. Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer1784 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Watering the parts can only go so far. Sometimes you have to cut parts out all together. If there is dirt in between your snares and tenors, it might be a problem with listening and phasing due to locations on the field. I definitely agree that the parts need to be watered if the players aren't hanging, but sometimes you just have to cut the part as well.

Jeffsjetta Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 sometimes, and arrangers hate to admit this, but what they wrote just isnt acheivable. so you hose, water or change alltogether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
