  • I competed against the Scouts back in the early 70's when I played soprano with the Cascades....they were always our toughest competition back then, and they always had the BEST soprano line at DCI. I'm not sure how old some of these guys are in this alumni corps (I'm sure hope there aren't many 50 yr old sopranos) but it matters not...the Scouts still know how to belt Kenton's most famous chart, and although it has been played by many others, Malaguena will always belong to the Scouts.

  • For the record: I played sop in the video and it WAS like playing with 120 professional musicians. Except for our first camp we did not have a dedicated music rehearsal... The primary focus was to maintain a centered tone and not over blow. Except for a few we never played more than 85%! During the show leads played to D above double C with an occasional F -- lost in the volume and overtones. Last show note was a high D. Malaguena was first played in 63! Best experience in my life!!

  • @silfner1 Thanks, Appreciated!!

  • @tcarmen63 Regardless of the problems and maybe not being the best ever, it was still incredibly impressive! You guys did a great job!

  • @silfner1 I was part of that soprano line and I agree with you -- probably the best in DCI -- but ever... no. Think Marine Corps, etc... What's interesting however is we played to an absurdly high range with the 3rds over high C and the leads to D above double C -- all on horns that were almost playable... My instrument's valve line wobbled back and forth and the first valve stuck often. If tuned for C, E would be all over the board and G different still. One had to listen very carefully!

  • @saildapper2001 In DCI, probably. But ever, I wouldn't go so far to say that.

  • to YesRush... Playing with these guys was the highlight of my musical life. We had very few rehearsals, maybe 45 hrs. of actual practice time and all but a very few minutes devoted to learning the drill. Except for the first camp we did not have a dedicated music rehearsal.... everyone could play!

  • @tcarmen63 As I said....I'm speechless .... and jealous.....cheers.

  • @YesRushELP Actually the entire soprano line averaged about 46 with the leads 35-45, 3 over 50, and one 64.

  • Just curious:  is this considered the best collection of trumpets ever assembled?

  • man....no one does this like the Scouts. But the 96 push is like WHOA!
