Where would you add the 15 additional membrs?


Recommended Posts

OK - to play along in the spirit of the thing, I'd add a couple of snares, make sure there was a cymbal line of 4 and throw the rest into bottom brass.

All 15 in the horn line.

I really agree with that, Imagine the sound put out! :worthy:

My thoughts are to take advantage of amped pit and reduce numbers there; and add them to the brass line. I would not have the battery any larger (except for the return of a cymbal line...) due to the ability of the standard line to balance with a larger brass line. (If I did not have a cymbal line I would put two more into the pit and two more into the brass line; which is what I will show here)

24 trumpets

20 horns (possibly mixed 10 mello/8 french horns; I miss the variety of blends)

26 bari/euphoniums (probably 16/10)

20 contras (just cannot bring myself to say tuba)

86 brass (with a bottom bias...that's where your power is :worthy: )

8 snares

5 quints

5 basses

10 pit

32 guard

2 fc's

40 trumpets

29 mellos

40 baris/euphs

29 contras

138 brass

10 snares

5 tenors

5 basses

20 percussion

2 drum majors

I believe that makes 160,

To compensate, I say subtract 10 trumpets and switch the amount of bari and contras ^0^

the extra 15 can be waterboys...they can run around during the show with waterbottles and spray bottles refreshing the corps giving 11:30 of pure intensity and no fatigue :worthy:

Contras and snares. If there are over 14 contras then we add Sops.
