horn_star Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 About the "Pressure" thing..they need to say it angrier.You can find the video on youtube I'm sure. It's how BJ does it in his song. When this song was a hit, it jumped out of the radio and stabbed you in the chest with it's staccato. I just find the Cavies version a little rounded which takes the sting off the song. Maybe I could be a "narration tech". Hey I just created a new job position. b**bs J/k While the first two instances are at a whisper, the third (8:03 in the full clip) is much more aggressive. Their point of reference for the louder one is supposed to be the original recording. I'm sure that they'll continue to tap into that emotion as the season goes on.

Just A Plain Old Fan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Question...are they using any E-flats, or Piccs? Their trumpet sound leads me to believe they might be...anyone in the know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekleve Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 WOW!!!!! Best preseason recording ever! I LOVE this music, and the drill oppurtunities are many! This got me really excited. It really hurts not to be at a drum corps show right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrinkinOuttaCups Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 This show sounds awesome live. I've seen the drill for the first half of the show, and they've definitely got alot of great visuals already. Can't wait to see the full show in July!

Harmonious Cacophony Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when I found out about the theme, but now I don't doubt their decision one bit. The music is great; I can't wait to hear them live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horn_star Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Question...are they using any E-flats, or Piccs? Their trumpet sound leads me to believe they might be...anyone in the know? Nope, just Bb Yamahas. The balance on the recording is a little misleading, which may have contributed to your perception. While the trumpret sounds dominate the recording, the Horn, Baritone, and Tuba colors are much more prevalent live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaghatron Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 There is a new video up... "A Word from Your Director 2." It's from earlier this week and talks about what the corps has been up to lately. You can hear some of the music during parts and a little drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
