LAMystreaux Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 At the moment, Bluecoats this year when they come to the front in that tight little block. Awesome! Best brass moment this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 my personal fav.....84 BD....that backfield solo....it's short, simple, but Awesome! i just love how it echoes off the back bleachers. Kudos to that soloist The one at the end of Latin Implosion? Steve "Stymie" Leanane....he who accidentally had "upper lead soap" on his member jacket! A sroty about how that backfield got put in. We were at a weekend rehearsal at Pleasant Hill HS (don't remember the time of year, but it was before the show season). Brass was in sectional for a bit and we played the ending...Stymie decided to fool around and play a bit of "One More Time, Chuck Corea" at the end....Wayne looks at him, cocks his head in thought. "Yeah....let's keep that." A great example of how the staff listened to the members sometimes...a good idea can come from anywhere...even a rank amateur. The horn visual in La Fiesta where we pointed at the soloists was my idea...one of the staff listened to it an they incorporated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdusek Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Freddie ?? I don't know his last name! Before he played solos for the Guardsmen and then Madison, did an AMAZING job on the old Doc Severinson feature "Celebration Suite" with the Fox Valley Raiders!!!! late 70's.

JKatzmellophone Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 While I am a bit bias, 2003, 2004 and 2006 Cabs had some sick licks through out the entire show. Key Poulan arranged some crazy mello parts. Very honored to have been part of those productions. And not to leave out just about anything the drumline has done since 2003 to present. 2003 - specifically the opening statement. Cabs 2003 2004 - Well pretty much the entire show! Cabs 2004 2006 - The opener was pretty incredible - Cabs 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horn visual in La Fiesta where we pointed at the soloists was my idea...one of the staff listened to it an they incorporated it. I was responsible for many great ideas, too. Many the time, we'd be on the practice field and our drill instructor, Ralph Pace and horn guy, Tony Yaklich, would be trying to figure out what to do at a certain point in the show. As they stood amidst us on the field, I would offer up my suggestion and then they would do the exact opposite. Problem solved! I was happy to help.

goalieguy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Freddie ?? I don't know his last name! Before he played solos for the Guardsmen and then Madison, did an AMAZING job on the old Doc Severinson feature "Celebration Suite" with the Fox Valley Raiders!!!! late 70's. FRED BELL!!! Felt bad for the guy..left Guardsmen to go to Madison only to have his old corps knock them off in '79.. I remember they were the 1st corps to break 80 that year, but because they didn't have 4000 decibels in the horn book..they never got the scores a lot of us thought they deserved. I thought "Celebration Suite" was just with the Guardsmen..but I see that BOTH corps did it with Fred..FVR in '77 and Guardsmen in '78..That's a bit different.
