But it does look like they are missing Boston's reps from 73,75, and 77. It does show 2-7 playing that in 81 and 82 though. Hope this helps.

strutta Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 It was actually a Trombonium solo in Niner Two. However, the song begins with all the contras setting the 9/8 groove. If you want to hear it played recently, click on Mass Brass in my sig and click on the sound files on our website. You'll hear us play it with the Trombonium solo now on mellophone. Better yet, come to Scranton and hear it LIVE Friday night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might that be the tune you were thinking of? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strutta Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Yes, that was in 1980, that 27 had the contra/sop duet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoastjazz Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Yes, that was in 1980, that 27 had the contra/sop duet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and If I am not mistaken, the Trombonium soloist was none other than Bill Solari...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strutta Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 In '81 & '82, you are correct, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contra solo in Open Wide was Cliffy White who won Individuals that year (80) playing Flight of the Bumble Bee (on the contra bass). He scored like a 99.9 or something. I have the score on the back of my 1981 DCI Calendar, all of the I & Es from the 80 season are in the 81 calendar. I wonder if they still do that? It's not done I don't think in the 70s yearbooks that I have but.... Anyway, Cliffy was a fabulous player and a fabulous person, he still is!! If you watch some of the moves from 80 from the contra section, one going into Open Wide, it's just amazing GE!!!! Good playing and GE...and they had to do a manuvah too, I don't think that section was expecting to be marching for most of the show!! Anywah, he made it some great moves and some great music!
