itsstephenyo Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Woot! Finally. Good review, Xenon, as always. Also, I agree about the LD Bell trumpet solo. Even though he was facing backfield it was still really loud for a solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortisimo Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Nice reviews. Thanks for giving us your insights--- oh, and what's up with mic'ing brass solos? I can understand a woodwind or pit solo, but I dunno about brass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellbrass07 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thatd be a trumpet quartet at the beginning being mic'd and the backfield solo is mic'd as well. Usually the crowd noise is too loud to hear the the solo (actually a trio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortisimo Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I see.... I still don't like the idea though. If our directors tried to mic a brass solo/duet/whatever, the brass at our school would definitely protest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the crowd noise is too loud to hear the the solo (actually a trio) At a football game yeah, but not at a band competition where it's almost dead silent.

dfife Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Nice reviews. Thanks for giving us your insights--- oh, and what's up with mic'ing brass solos? I can understand a woodwind or pit solo, but I dunno about brass... The solo trumpets are mic'd and routed through an effects processor. At the beginning of the show they are phased for effect, and at the beginning of part 2 it is meant to be a distance/cathedral effect. The judges got it and commented very favorably on the tapes.

Fortisimo Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Yeah, I had forgotten that they used effects on the solo. I suppose there's no way around mic'ing there, eh? On a similar note, what did ya'll thin of the Vocoder that the Woodlands used? I personally liked it; it was a very good imitation of the one originally used in the song- a very trippy effect for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubaRed_89 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I didn't get a chance to go to the BOA Arlington Regional, but just from your review(even though only finals) it sounds like this was a great competition. Now I am really anxious to see Marcus' show with the review you left it sounds like their show may be the one to beat later in the season. Last year at the Birdville contest if I remember right Marcus didn't have their full show on the field, but even what they did have was amazing. Can't wait to see it this Saturday. Congrats, to all the bands that competed at the Arlington Regional look forward to seeing most of your shows through out the rest of the season, and good luck.
