Ray Priester Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Possibly it was a bari. As I said, I can't recall etc.. I didn't go to many shows during the 80s and quite possibly he did play a baritone in that number. Cupcakes, anyone from the Hurcs during that era? Ray Was that a French Horn solo during It Don't Mean a Thing with Hurcs in the early 80's? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneseo_bari_87 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I've listened to this like 10 times now. You can hear that BD hornline sound despite the non-optimal recording technology used. I could almost swear the solo bari sounds like a french horn. Eric was pretty phenominal....and still is. He's on the BD alumni CD that recently came out. Playing his trombone, although this time the tune was reworked so Eric, Jeff Lynn, and Adam Rapa had extended solos........Pretty killer recording. God, those contras. 10 K90's played by 10 muthas. We marched 8 contras back then, and given the time of the recording, there would probably have been anywhere from 4 to 7. Contas never filled up until June back then. That poor soprano who has the solo near the end hanging out there all alone... If you knew him, you'd rub his nose in it. We did :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL! That dude deserved whatever he got for that! Really only 8 contras in 83? Man...they sound great even on that early recording. I'm gonna have to get that alumni CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRCVdawg Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 James stepped into the baritone hype circle before one of the finals week shows in 96. It was sweet! Michael Oldemeyer <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it was b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phirefenix Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 James Hosmer, I love that solo in the ballad. The euph soloist from CoH was no small fry either. Myself... Oh, never had a solo. Crap. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomMullet Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Another: Phantom '91, beginning of Pagliacci <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm happy someone called this one out before I did. Matt Chapman aka Smiley, this is one of my favorite musical drum corps moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
