JamMan Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Has any corps ever had a soloist who made up their solo up on the spot, like in a jazz band? I don't mean by forgetting their parts and making something up. I mean a true improv solo each and every show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's not DCI, but in 2000, the Syracuse Brigadiers had a mellophone soloist who improved a solo at the end of our ballad. It was different every weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drochau Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't think it's ever been done on purpose in DCI. At least in the last 20 years. Our set-player in the 2001 Show (madison) had slight variations from night to night, but nothing completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplefunk Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think it would be cool, it might get a "too loose" feeling, but I could see Cadets or VK doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Pearson Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 See Todd Waech-Madison 74-76! He didn't read *music. In fact he played game show themes, kids melodies-you name it during certain shows on Xylo! (*Note: so why write anything down) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kstahl Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Bluecoats '97 - The soprano solo right after the ballad (Moon) at the beginning of "You and the night and the Music" Although it was similiar, it was a little different every night Kevin Stahl Bluecoats 1996-1999 Bluecoats Staff 2000-2003 Glassmen Staff 2004-2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
