A certain "make anyone go deaf": Them playing the "THX" theme. You know, the super loud thing that always came on before movies from the 1990's and early 2000's and woke everyone up by accident when you watched movies at night? Yeah, that.

+Mom2twoboys22 The blue devils have absolutely horrible balance, they are loud, sure, but that's about it. Bluecoats have surpassed them in my opinion years back, at least brass wise. This year, Bluecoats were only behind Devils by .1 in brass

@HIME5SENTZ

8 жыл бұрын

Jordan Shaw Fair enough, here goes: Not sure how I reevaluate the fact that they really did score .1 lower than BD on brass. I mean take it up with the DCI judges on that one if you don't believe me. In my personal opinion, the BD hornline puts way too much of an emphasis on high brass. Almost every sustain chord has a high G punch in it *cough felliniesque cough*. Bluecoats understand the beauty that is interchangeable voicing, especially with bari/ euphs. Look at the last chord they hold in Hymn of Acxiom. Not a single trumpet is on the top part of the chord, mellos and low brass are alone and it sounds absolutely wonderful. There's a reason why one of the big Bluecoats things is "signature sound". Literally no one sounds like them. They work musically as a cohesive ensemble rather than a brass line led, dictated, and pushed by trumpet screaming. I play trumpet, and I understand the nuisances of 'taking it up an octave', I really do. It's just that there's a time and a place for it, and the Bluecoats achieve a much more pleasing balance. I fully agree that BD deserves to be a top 3 corps, no doubt in my mind. It's just that they have aspects that are overlooked by the uneducated crowd of fans. They are loud, energetic, and score high. To many, that means they are the best. There's a reason why us as humans have the right to an opinion. I've voiced mine with a relatively strong claim to stand on, whether or not you agree is your discretion. Thanks

+MainCut Media what you say is totally true and I have to agree with you. But I have to tell you something that was explained to me by a humble B.D. fan. The Blue Devils have a very strong low brass section, and they can be loud if need be. But the Blue Devils like playing jazzy shows, and therefore go for a jazz kind of blend in their sound. Which means a lot more high brass contribution than low brass contribution. Meanwhile corps like the Bluecoats and Carolina Crown, go for the symphonic blend. Which is a more even contribution of sound from all sections of the hornline. Which is why their synth-like beauty of a sound is more pleasant to the ear.

01:09 With earphones on, you can hear the lead trumps climb up a step, or octave. High C, then the G above that... He's like, "Im octave this..." then when he gets there, he's like, "I can go higher, let's try that G...". If it would've been any longer, Im sure he's squeaked a C. I know I would. lol

Robert Smith was our caption head brass in Suncoast. He never conducted like I see these horn guys. In fact, he taught the hornline to watch him conduct with the slightest nod. There is no need to flail the arms like you’re drowning. Nice uniforms.

the guy at 3:30 is no doubt the contra's spirit animal

I don't understand how contra players get past the basically 0 visibility that they have to which ever side of them the tuba is on. I know contras project better and have a more directional sound but at least you can see to either side of you a little bit with a Sousaphone. Even so, I prefer contras. They just look and sound cooler
