Dave Scott Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hey everyone, November 19th is the Florida Marching Band Championship. I'll be there with some other alumni friends.....come see my alma mater Olympic Heights try and win their second division championship in two years. This year's show is "Vesuvius," featuring the eponymous piece by Frank Ticheli, "Lento," from Philip Sparks' "Dance Movements," and "The Inferno," from Robert W. Smith's "Divine Comedy." It'll be taking place at Tropicana Field (dome, so finals aren't rained out like they were last year) in St. Augustine. There's actually a staff this year, unlike last season. Yeah Dave Bayardelle. I like the Freelancers D&BC, notably every show from 88 to 93, excluding most of '92. Amazing hornlines and music arrangements. I agree. Those brass lines and arrangements were the result of Freelancers brass caption head and arranger John Zimny. A fantastic teacher and brass tech! (Check out their 83 show) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwrice Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 If only they would put a horn line and guard together to compliment the percussion section?! Or, just join RCR! b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugada Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 A little off or on topic; I've always been a Freelancer fan.I would love to see that corps back in action again! Bring back those deep red jackets, with the white flap exposed, the black cross strap with the shining buckle, and the black pants! I long to hear the lush chords of their closer "Bells." Yes! Bring back the parade rest at retreat where the horns are slammed into those buckles on thier chest followed by a groan from the Blue Devils horn line. Freelancers were intense, would love to see them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sardomus Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I long to hear the lush chords of their closer "Bells." Bells... wow! What a great piece. ^OO^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nguyenbr Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 it would be great to have the Freelancers back and all, but would it be feasible for two div 1 corps to come from the same city? has it ever happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevilbass1 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 The corps will never happen. We have the hands filled with fielding a WGI group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
