GregGilman Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Excellent Review Rob! I'd just like to support Rob's sentiments regarding programming. I thought Blue Devils' musical book this year is great! 100% 'hummable', beautifully varied and includes some incredible high points. My impressions... Ragtime is neat. Catchy little tune with LOTS of personality. You can tell the horn line is having a blast playing this little ditty. Seemed a little dirty visually, but it's only June. The first half 'I've Got Rythmn'is great! Wide open jazz, great soloists, and some really, really meaty horn parts!! I was a little bummed the last half featured mostly percussion. However, I did enjoy the closing screaming Trumpet soloist who ended the song with a very respectable double-c. 'House of the Rising Sun' is really cool, but kinda short. Lots of multi-tempos going on (might be hard to clean). I really like that quirky little Trumpet/pedal-tone/glissando thing I'd heard on BD's web site. It's even better in person (and leads into something completely different than you'd expect). It ends with an excellent 64 count 'park and bark' (go Mellophones!). In regards to Channel One, I have to disagree with my buddy JR Marks. I rather liked the rearrangement. Okay...it does start a little weird with little snippets of the tune but I personally liked the way it builds suspense before that infamous Channel One low brass lick. And the way the hornline, out of the blue, builds a field-long company front for the first big push is simply amazing! Yes, I said company front (just like when I marched in the 80s). A massive, loud, expanding, in-your-face company front with 10 contras across the front and endzone to endzone coverage! Woo hoo! (Highpoint of the show for me). Unfortunately, they stopped doing drill shortly after, but played through the end of the show. The end of this year's Channel One's is actually the 'classic' version's beginning (surely to annoy some purists) but I liked it. Made a good lead in into this year's version of the 'Wayne Downy Ending'. Overall, I gotta say I found Blue Devils musical show exceptionally entertaining. No one can complain about this year's show being musically unapproachable. I've been humming since last night. I can hardly wait to see the rest of the visual package come together. This is going to be a great year for Blue Devils. Should be fun. See you on the 50. - Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsBari02 Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Let's just say that when the guard came out....some were not even recognizable as their former selves, and more than once we hweard things along the lines of "d###!!! The guard cleans up well!!!!" Yes, they do. ;)^ Thanks for the kind words about our show, everyone. Cant wait for you to see it when we get back from the east coast. Later.

BennyASU Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 hah! My friend in Santa Clara's guard called and did the exact same thing from their memorial day concert. it was on my voicemail and iwas just thinking "WHAT is this?" cause i have a friend that we just leave each other short DCI clips as messages sometimes, but i couldnt recognize this one. THen she leans into the phone "Ben! If you can hear me, this is BD!" It was great. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
