JeromeyBush Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Since I got involved with drum in 1976, I have heard many, many baritone players. Jerome Kimbrough is simply the best I've heard.I do like Brian Law, though...and since he likes Philadelphia teams, I may just change my vote. Nope...it's Jerome with no doubt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who are you and where did you hide the pod. Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyASU Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 SCV 99....great bari solo in the ballad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I agree with Jim Anello - Bill Mudge. The guy used to PRACTICE during breaks - sitting underneath a tree and playing/practicing when everybody else wanted to quit! What a great inspiration he was!

Galen Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Another: Phantom '91, beginning of Pagliacci Kinda makes you wonder why you don't typically hear very many baritone solos these days. The most recent I can recall was from last year's Pacific Crest show, and that didn't sound especially good compared to some of the more classic solos mentioned on here. Has baritone soloing become a lost art in drum corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was going to go up against him in 02...but he was a no show even though his name was on the list. So that didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankBeMe Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Frank - I will concur with #'s 2, 5 and 8...along with Pooh Bear. But I will always hold a spot in my heart for my long time friend ( and you only thought he played sop) Roger Grupp of MBI! He was an incredible bari player before switching to soprano. His solo work during the 70's and early 80's was fabulous. He could play the high notes with POWER! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hahaha no I knew Roger played baritone before he did sop..personally, if I were a sop player, I'd defect to the baritone..but that's just me :P I never heard him on bari, just sop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerriDitt57 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Rick Moss. Best baritone player I ever heard in drum corps. And I had the privilege (and I mean privilege) of marching with Rick in 1978. 10. What Terri said--the guy from Guardsmen that did the Watrousesque solo in Tiger of San Pedro <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriDitt57 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I recommend '79 Guardsmen HIGHLY (no I did NOT march that year, '78 was my last year) You will hear some awesome horn playing from all sections. Looks like I've got a lot of baritone players to check out:1. This Pooh Bear guy 2. 93 Blue Devils guy 3. 74 Madison GBTC 4. 78/79 Guardsmen <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
