What type of Mello is that?

[marcusman612]

@ZEO90 Yamaha.

[hotdog56421]

did you make it?

[marcusman612]

I did not. =(

@marcusman612

Was their decision mostly based on music? or movement?

[marcusman612]

@aolyahoo Music. they needed a lead and I'm a great 2nd.....just not a lead.

Hate to be that guy, but Crown DOES have the best sounding hornline, and yes FINIS is a perect example. Phantom has a great hornline, but its not the same. Their hornline is distinct; when you hear it, you know its phantom, ( their sound matches their name, its great.) Crown has the most round. luscious, deep awesome sounds in DCI, at least in my opinion.

@RCWilhite Phantom does have the best horline in DCI.....if you like listening to 72 chainsaws. I prefer my hornlines balanced and controlled, like Crown, Blue Stars, and BD.

[SFsax14]

@euphmmx you call BD's hornline controlled???

Funniest thing I've EVER heard

[Sohrin305]

@MrGuitar144 When I hear Phantom, my hair goes up. I just KNOW its them, its so... menacing. In a good way. Same with Crown, but for other reasons. It is a very subjective thing, sound is. I mean we ALL like different sounds. Note that Phantom is also one of my favorites. I mean we can't complain about about other corps sounds. I am playing mello right now for Band of the Hour, which compared to a corps is nothing. keep it up mellos! :)

[MrGuitar144]

@Sohrin305 Thanks for not being that jerk that bashes the other bands here and there throughout their comment. I personally like Phantoms better because when you hear it you know its them, but that's just me.

[DJAndreRouzo]

dont talk shit about BD, we are listening. idiots. 

[euphmmx]

@losingitrush Ok, dude. BD only has like one of the highest, if not the highest, number of brass titles in the world.

[losingitrush]

@euphmmx BD blares grossly. they are most definitely overrated.

[losingitrush]

@juliax1993 every brass section in crown is amazing. same to phantom.

mozart horn concerto 3 movement 1

[tophrocks234]

Nice job!

Saw the Crowns live this year on a marching band trip.

They really o have the best horn line (coming from a mello player)

[juliax1993]

Crowns horn are the best. Blue Coats Tubas are the best. Phantoms Euphs and Baris are the best. Trumpet, meh, idk.
