I played 2nd on this. I am not a corps guy and admit when I got asked to play I didn't expect much in the way of quality and I was blown away when I got there. The recording session was brutal. Two straight shots through the tunes and no fixing mistakes. The recordings are amazingly clean all things considered.
Chris nailed that double B every time except once during rehearsal, but just as he was stuck on Bb an ambulance drove by and wailed out the B. It was perfect.
Sweet. Like taking a bath in chocolate as the saying goes. I do believe this is the most kickass arrangement a brass choir could perform, huh? What years did BD's play this?
@sixty9fordkiller They played it in 81, 82 and 83. They also had it in their I&E small ensemble in 96 (took 1st).. BD is the only DCI corps play it, but several DCA and international corps have played it
Awesome! I can't believe this is all french horns!
