PhantomR Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 it's not that I don't like CF, it's that I like AoC better. but really, I think that the whole CF is terrible thing is overplayed. It's really not that bad. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usmpiano Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 It works with the +/- 700 horns at finals. Beautiful there. With only two small hornlines playing it? No way! The original AOC was by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I only like CF with the written in percussion parts. I didn't even know there was a timpani part until I heard the Blue Devils play it at the Troy, AL show. As a hornline member, I thought the moments of rest between phrases without the percussion seemed awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake_the_hydra Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) I know a lot of people in Div 1 corps, and you'd be surprised at how many of us make fun of it or call it terribly stereotypical-sounding wind ensemble arrangement, or something to that effect. And I don't know what it sounds like in the stands (probably bad), but every time we played it for encore (and ESPECIALLY at finals, because it sounded BAD), it just sounds awful on the field. I would be happy if it got taken away and DCI used those men in black memory things on me so I couldn't play it in my head anymore.

Carl306 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Wasn't fond of it. I liked AOC much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared_mello Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I didn't like it at all. I ####### HATE Simple Gifts, I'm sorry. I honestly liked AoC.....old or new, both are fine with me. Champions Fanfare made a LITTLE more sense when everyone was on the field finals night playing it, but it sounds awful with 2 hornlines playing it. I hysterically laughed when I heard the drum parts for CF, and couldn't play for the rest of the song. The timpani parts were pretty much the most pompous, unnecessary things I've ever heard in a piece of music. At least they didn't try and include those on finals night, that would be have been ridiculous. I do like drum corps though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplefunk Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Ya, add one more spot on the bandwagon. I agree with most anyone who posted, that if it weren't for simple gifts/apalachian spring, whatever it's called, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
