leif Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Minus the euphs and contras (who weren't bad, but not up to our caliber)Crown had a d### good baritone line. Perhaps because Jason Buckingham (BK caption head) was our tech? But then they gave us brand new tune any note baritones 2 weeks before finals. How stupid can you get? Honestly. Yeah baris. OK, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but where were you hot young baritone players when I marched? I met an incredibly lovely young bari soloist in Glassmen, too. Back in my day, we were a bunch of galoots with bad haircuts, now you're...you're ... PRETTY! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasskitten Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Did the girl from glassmen look like Haley Mills? Her and I talked at retreat a few times, she was pretty cool. And your name is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, she did. I only talked to her briefly at the Lynn, MA show. She was pretty cool. My name? I'm not hiding anything. My name is Leif. I marched Suncoast in 86 and 87 on euphonium. My shoulders are still sore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTBeck1 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I gotta place my vote down for my buddies at Glassmen. Our lead bari line had an amazing sound and could play every part of the show with ease (or at least they made it look like they could :D). The seconds were smokin too, they gave the whole bari line a nice full sound. And my euphs! What can i say, we were the shizzle, 4 out of 8 of us were age outs. Gotta give props to the tuba line, by far the section that improved the most during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I would have picked Phantom but after hearing a baritone blaring the entire show in Indy i cant vote for them.....SCV great sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContraMan Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Spirit's low brass all the way. They were just incredible and sounded so durned good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Cavaliers, hands down, both with individual sections and as a whole line. That rich, blended tone that they've developed really brought them a long way, and they deserved that brass trophy; that hornline played incredibly well. They weren't incredibly loud, no, but they played well within the confines of their instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schleic8 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Ever notice that everyone who marched this summer said that the low brass line of the corps they were in was the best? Also, most people who are alumni of a certain corps said that the corps they marched for had the best low brass line of the year. Just kind of silly self-promotion if you ask me. Oh... and I thought Cavies entire horn line was better than any other corps. All part of it included. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Jangles Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Haha. I noticed that too! I just didn't want to say anything. Come on guys, there's no doubt that some other corps had great low brass sections. Give it up for them man! We're all in this activity together.
