A little too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersop Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm waiting for the marching French horn to make a comeback. It's an entirely new voice to the hornline that doubles as lead Bari or rip snorting horn. I miss the gurth and girgle (at times). That should bring the number back up to 72 horns .... which was done many many times. I think 15 ppl in a pit is a bit of overkill. I could understand it when it wasn't amped but cmon! 24-28 guard used to be an acceptable number. I could have sworn I saw some corps marching 40 in the past few years. And you wonder why POWER is lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I don't know, I think it would seriously work. I mean, corps don't need to wait for the colorguard to come back from WGI. Also with all these amps that are now around, the number in the pit need not be large anymore. As for '86 Garfield, the reason, IMO, why it didn't work was the guard was not used as the third section but as an extention of the horns and percussion.

usmpiano Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Give me: 105 Brass 30 - Sopranos 20 - Altos 30 - Baritones/Euphs 20 - Contras 7 snares 5 tenors 6 bass 12 pit BRILLIANT! (yes - that leaves ZERO for guard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddschultz Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Ummmm - '86 Cadets anyone? 84 horns, 12 guard - didn't really work (went back to 28 guard the year after).I say 30 horns & 60 guard :P Later, Mike Well, Judging by the performances of many guards as of late, I would love to see what kind of train wreck this would cause. <**> ^0^ Maybe we could just call the activity Guard and Drum Band, GBD-thats great, I love it!
