yabetterbelieveit Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) As I'm listening to `91 Star, I want some opinions of who has had the best mellophone since 1995. Specify what particular year(s) you are thinking about. How I love a good mello line :) .

drummer5485 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 The Cavaliers Mello line this past year and Crown's mello line this past year, just great, great players and a great sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasPRfan Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Over the past few years, Phantom & Cadets have had great mello lines. Also, Crown's Mello line was exceptional this year. Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 '97 Cadets - the opening lick of that show is just insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyASU Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 well obviously the Cadets are on fire most years...from the past 10 years though id especially go with 97, 01, and 05. Also, SCV has had a few mello lines lately that i have really loved. In fact, id say all of them since Key Poulan took over as arranger, he really knows how to let 'em rip!

BennyASU Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 '97 Cadets - the opening lick of that show is just insane! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> beat me to it! but yes, i just happened to be downloading band music one day about 7 years ago and came across a Cadets 97 recording...ive been hooked on corps ever since. I was just blown away by the brass book, then i saw a video and the visual...well...wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman1084 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 This one is incredibly easy for me: Carolina Crown 2005 Those mellos have such an amazing sound quality. When they turn backfield in the closer, before the timpani roll into the ending, the sound bounces off the backfield stands and creates such an amazing effect. Apparently, they have someone working with them that has taught a championship corps in the past (I think I remember hearing Cadets). Which brings me to my number 2 corps... Cadets - Their mellophones are nails! Year after year they play great stuff. 1998 and 2000 are among my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommySopranoContra Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Is it my ears but did the Sopranos and Contras overshadow the middle voices in 2003 Blue Devils Phenomenon of Cool? One of my favorite shows, listen to it all the time. I don't know, can't hear the middle voices much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
