PageantryVisGuy Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 We most definitely had some spooky moments. Just a few...HA! One of the kings of creepy shows...Skulls give me nightmares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Ya, definately BD '95...still one of my favorite shows...especially those tenors....OH MY GOD!!!!! But the sounds in the beginning...groaning...scraping sounds...just eery. I believe the sound of the groaning of the hull of the "ship" in the '97 Scouts show was achieved by pulling a rope through a drum head...although I can't be certain about that. I know they got the wind/sea spray sound with a round wooden..."spool"?...for lack of a better term, that was mounted on a stand with a crank handle on one end. Around the spool was a piece of tarp or heavy cloth with both ends attached to the base of the stand. As you cranked the handle, the spool would spin and the friction between the spool and the tarp would create the sound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj02 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Backfield upper brass cluster chords in Cavaliers '92 during Peterloo Overture. They used a similar effect during the '05 show, near the end of the Chicago Fire movement. Outside of drum corps, David Lang's Are You Experienced? for electric tuba and wind ensemble. Tuba + amp + reverb + feedback = crazy stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markdewine Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 When Madison did their "Pirates" show, I believe they simulated the sounds of creaking masts, by putting the 'edge' of one cymbal into the 'cup' of the other, and 'grinding' the two together.

ROO Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 The marching machine (see Cadets '93) is a favorite, --doug I'm actually looking for one of these. Does anyone have a clue where I might find one? I've been looking into Foley style percussion and still no luck. As for Spooky effects- BD 95 takes the cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 ...Outside of drum corps, David Lang's Are You Experienced? for electric tuba and wind ensemble. Tuba + amp + reverb + feedback = crazy stuff... That piece would be performed more if Lang didn't require the narrator to introduce themselves as David Lang. Weird.

Linnehan13 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Cadets 05 had crazy industrial sounds coming from the pit during the percussion feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
