gbass714 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 i think when if you say"best" hornlines, then all of the above is true. you need a good staff, good players, good book and all that. but i think when it comes to a "great" hornline, it needs taht extra something. it needs all of those things and that one thing...EMOTION!!! if the players arent feeling the emotion of the show, then the audience wont feel anything. im talking about bd 94, scv 2000 and 2005 (i know im biased to that last one...) cadets 87. the feeling when you hear a hornline play their ballad and you want to cry. the feeling you get when you think youre gonna be deaf because of the sheer volume and great intonation. its when a hornline finishes their show and you just feel every last bit of energy going into the whole audience. when you hear one of those hornlines...youll know that what makes a "great" hornline :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacquesb Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Everyone always talks about "great" hornlines... one line did this, another line does that...Quite simply, I am interested in hearing what everyone thinks is most important to making a hornline great. What ingredient is most important? One word: balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_itsnotadash Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 why? does the sound of screaming oboes not appeal to you? lol, I love woodwinds, just not a corps but thats another topic. Balance, staff, tone, and committed players is what I think makes a outstanding hornline. thats my opinion though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have ever heard a screaming oboe. :sshh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
