DrPennybags Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 I'm going to toss baritone soloist from '93 Blue Devils into the list. That guy was just amazing. Now I know your asking yourself "Which soloist are you talking about? There were quite a few." I say take your pick. The Blue Devils have produced some of the best baritone players around.

Scerpella Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 79 Scouts Baritone soloist from "God Bless the Child"That would be Perry Smith and the year was 1978. Perry was one of my best friends, he marched from 75-80. Also i think Dave Ramthun was a great Bari horn player from that era (75-82) many solo's and of course i cant forget DanS210057563 (we cant forget him because he's always posting...lol) 77-78 Thanks Robert but I was never a soloist. Almost went up at State Fair during "God Bless" my age out show for the #### of it, but it became clear to me early in that show that I wanted to go out with my best performance rather than a stunt. My brother was there with his camera, kinda wish I did it now as there would have been some memorable pictures of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scerpella Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Nuther guy I recall is from Colts I believe it was somewhere between 79-82. Bari solo from their closer Evergreen which he finishes up on a high G I think. So high it sounded like a slide whistle. One more is the Bari solist from 73 Bridgemen during "Free". OMG that guy could wail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Devil Legend Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Can't forget Bonnie Ott. Mello with the Blue Devils in the early/mid 70's. Gail Royer always said he'd add women to the horn line if she'd come to Santa Clara. agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
