scadesboi Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Do they play in bass or treble, or both? I only really read bass clef....but I guess I can work on treble if needed to <**> . But would rather just deal with bass clef. So, I guess are they Bb or G horns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SassyMama Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 You'd think I'd probably know this, but I have no idea. Contact Logan313 on here and ask him. He was a Cascade ageout. You might also want to go to the Cascade website at: http://www.seattlecascades.org and leave a message for Kurt Jull to contact you to answer that question.

asvab Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 It's likely they write in treble regardless of the key of their horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiccups05 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 some corps do write in all treble however if you ask for a bass clef copy im sure they will write it out for you in bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scadesboi Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 Well, I guess I'll just have to ask for bass clef beforehand. Calling Logan313!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shintao Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Most corps that I know of write treble for their sops, mellos, baritones,and euphs. I don't know about the contras though. But the cascades do play G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwscv87 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 (edited) I would suggest going ahead and learning to read in treble clef. It is really very easy. Better to learn their language rather than asking them to translate for you. I know things may be very different now, but in my day they did not write in Bass Clef for you. Needing to learn treble clef was a given. Here is a link to a fingering chart for you: Fingering Chart You'd better get to work! ;)^ :D Edited November 3, 2003 by jwscv87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyASU Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 SCV writes low brass in bass clef...that came back to bite me. i knew a LITTLE bit from my old piano playing days, but didnt know it well enough to quickly read through it.

Guest mafields627 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I believe that the G corps write in all treble and the multikey corps write in whatever clef the instrument is supposed to be in. I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Eastridge Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I believe that the G corps write in all treble and the multikey corps write in whatever clef the instrument is supposed to be in.I may be wrong. We marched a hornline in G this past summer. Our show was written in Treble, but the Bari/Euph/Contra players could get it in Bass Clef if they needed it. The same with all of our non-show tunes, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
