BlinK Day 41 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 My band is doing a show without any musical solos at all this year (there's some guard solos). Just wondering exactly how common that is, we've been doing classical shows for the past few years so we've always had solos, it just strikes me as weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Do duets, trios, solis, etc. count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinHorn Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 No solos in our show last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I've seen some without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpetman1288 Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I've seen quite a few shows without solos...most of them, however, usually have a section feature to replace it. Last year we didn't have any solos, but we have one this year during our ballad-type thing. We have different section features again this year.

cinco_4_life811 Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Last year our show had a trumpet solo, but this year nobody has a solo. But instead of solos we have quite a few woodwind/brass features in this year's show And at the beginning of our ballad a double reed quartet (2 oboes, an English Horn, and a basson) is playing, amplified with microphones so that we can actually hear them It sounds pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRtrumpet Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 We got a Alto sax solo (which I play) and a flute solo in ours... it's the first time we've had woodwind solos in awile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickora Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 It's quite common for a show not to have solos. They generally have solos for the prodigies out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3rdu5 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 For the first time in forever [haha], we do NOT have a flute solo! Oh my goodness. It excites me, heehee. We only have one solo feature this year, to my knowledge, which is a clarinet solo....pretty cool stuff actually, it sounds so cool. We have quite a few section features, though. Especially an amazingly awesome sax feature. Look out for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
