no_itsnotadash Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 While you can't deny the perfection of BD's honrline in 2004, Phantom's 2005 is one of my personal favorite. Also, while 2003 PR wasn't perfect, that sound was the most enjoyable I've ever heard. My $0.02 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Toss-up between BD '04 and Cadets '05. Holy cow, good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEuph04 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Notice that I said listen to the drum judge's tape and you'll hear the Cadets' trumpet line playing with less than characteristic tone. Has nothing to do with what the brass judge thought, and obviously the drum judge said nothing about it. I just think Cadets' trumpet line didn't play with good balance or blend, and that kind of rules them out for best brassline of the 00s. um... i would never use the crappy little microphone in a cassette dictation device to judge music..... EVER. and I know a thing or two about mics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liebot Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 um... i would never use the crappy little microphone in a cassette dictation device to judge music..... EVER. and I know a thing or two about mics. Whatever, I still stand by my statement. Cadets trumpets overplayed this year. Their tone was pretty consistently bad throughout the show. And I made this opinion before I ever even saw the DVD. That said, I think throwing the tape recorder out completely as a source is a bit short-sighted.

Lance Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 You know, I've always thought that the hornline sounds awful on every judge's tape I've ever heard. Way distorted and rough. Loved the Cadets trumpets this year. The best they've sounded in a very long time, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZSDAvenger Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 For me its a tie between 03 BD and 04 BD. Both were phenomenal lines. However, Id like to support whoever mentioned the 05 BD line. I sincerely feel that the 05 BD hornline has one of the absolute best ensemble sound qualities ever. This is marred by their very dirty exectution, unfortunately, and as a result, many people dont ever take notice of just how good of a sound the 05 BD hornline produced. But man, the 05 BD trumpets couldn't nail a release spot on if their life depended on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
