camel lips Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Did anyone catch the National Anthem with Al Chez playing lead SOP? Please tell me there is something wrong with my sound card and that is not the way it really sounded. http://live.dci.org/index.cfm?event_id=924...63-5fe6034e7446 Just click on the media tab and click on the national anthem.

mrshowfan Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Sounded a little off. Maybe he was using a Schilke 6a4a. There was a part where he sounded a bit sharp during a sustain. MD&BC sounded good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denverjohn Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 He was using a 2-valve G which he hadn't touched for about 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, the horn reacts differently up high. Much more difficult to tune on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel lips Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 Found this floating around about Chez For Immediate Release October 8, 2001 - Harrison, NJ Al Chez Joins Bushwackers Staff Al Chez has joined the Bushwackers as brass consultant for the 2002 season. Al is known as one of the best soprano soloists to have graced a football field. Having marched his junior corps years with the Edison Saints, and the Garfield Cadets, his senior corps days were spent with the Reading Buccaneers and our own Bushwackers in 1985. His professional career is very extensive, including such groups as Tower of Power and the Robert Cray Band. Currently, Al can be seen every night playing trumpet in the CBS Orchestra on the "The Late Show with David Letterman". He has recently been teaching with the Crossmen under our own Chuck Naffier. We welcome Al into what is shaping up to be the best brass staff in DCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
