Glassmen 2006 - The "New World" meets the "Old World"

GLASSMEN and La Vaillante marched together through the streets of downtown Saint Quentin to the beautiful Saint Quentin Basilica, where they performed a combined concert in the basilica park at sundown. La Vaillante took the stage first, with director Bernard Feignier conducting. Everyone in the crowd was dancing along, and a few of the GLASSMEN even started in singing. Then it was time for the GLASSMEN to perform - and they wowed the crowd with their huge brass sound, and percussion reverberating around the basilica square.

The reaction was incredible - people squeezed in closer to be right up next to the corps. A few brave souls ventured into the drumline arc for some close-up shots. The crowd couldn't get enough! They were like rock stars - and the crowd kept chanting for more! And that's what they got - the GLASSMEN played through the new DCI Fanfare, the closer from last year's New World Symphony production, the entire 2006 production of Beethoven: Mastery and Madness.

I've heard the professional recording of this show...this video doesn't do it just do to the poor recording properties of the camera. Don't judge them so harshly, they are very good and played this piece very well!!!!

[Bischbone]

too bad it's not a band

[GodOfPSP]

maybe the low end just seems louder cuz the cameras right next to the entire low brass section...but still good job low end

It does however it takes true skills to preform Dcorak in a band, rather than an orchestra.

My friend, a violist and a Dvorakian, says, "It sounds much better on strings!"
