Liquid Midget Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 ya the hole "trio" in question is just a high b natural to c trill for 16 counts while the pentagon in the drill does a zipper effect down into a five pointed star. tis pretty baller. I'm one of the soloist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urkadrums Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 In our first movement alone we have a flute/piccolo duet, trumpet solo, trombone soli, woodwind feature section, percussion feature section, and various percussion solos. There might be more haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcomac29 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 there's two horn solos... and one of them is so retarded... it goes from 4/4 to 3/4 to 4/4 to 3/4... and it throws me off.... for scapegoat purposes... it doesn't help that none of our drum majors conduct together... because it starts facing backfield... and so when i turn around, whoever is on the front tower is like... 2 counts off from whatever the backfield drum major was doing... and it honestly does throw me off... but the solo in the ballad is tight..

borchnork Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I know that back at Centennial, the entire 4th Movement is a woodwind quintet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miray Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 We have an English Horn solo in our pre-show, a trumpet solo in our opener and a saxophone solo in our closer. An English Horn solo? I want to see that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhstrumpet Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 We have an English Horn solo in our pre-show, a trumpet solo in our opener and a saxophone solo in our closer. And that same English Horn is in our ballad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontforgettobreathe Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Soprano Sax solo in the opener Baritone solo in the ballad (3rd movement) And our first chair trumpet player has a "Solo Part" so everything he plays is a solo. But watch out for the closer (4th movement), he's got some insane licks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdtenor Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 We open our show with an oboe-bassoon duet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treyj Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 i have somewhat of a duet thing i guess. not really though, It's more a few select woodwinds feature thing. Our ballad and closer is "harrisons dream" by peter graham and idk if you've heard it but the woodwind sixteenth notes are CRAZY @ 160 bpm. i love it though sounds soooo tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 i have somewhat of a duet thing i guess. not really though, It's more a few select woodwinds feature thing. That would probably be called a small ensemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftwdrummer Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 We're now having a French horn play the alto sax solo in our second movement. Which makes sense, since most of our altos...aren't that good, and the French horn player was our one All-Stater last year. Second movement goes on the field tomorrow night, then hopefully we get the closer drill learned fast (like, in a week), put it on the field the next week, and have a week to clean before BOA!

rpd Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 i have somewhat of a duet thing i guess. not really though, It's more a few select woodwinds feature thing. Our ballad and closer is "harrisons dream" by peter graham and idk if you've heard it but the woodwind sixteenth notes are CRAZY @ 160 bpm. i love it though sounds soooo tight Not meaning to show you up, but I have some 16th runs at 164 bpm, so I know what you mean. Two of the runs are at a halt, but the last one is while moving an its not clean at all right now. I've played the runs on both Bass Clarinet and Tenor Sax, and its near impossible on the Bass Clarinet due to more pinky altering on the middle note break. During our first few performances, it was basically trading solo's between me and an alto because no one else was playing it. Thankfully more people are starting to get it. Hopefully this will probably be the biggest impact point of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michellen Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 There's a flute solo in the first movement, an alto saxophone solo in the second, a flute duet in the third, and a flute solo in the fifth. The first flute solo is supposed to be played on the pan flute... I wish my section leader luck in that endeavor. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblemaker Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Wow... That's a lot of flute stuff. I wish our director wasn't so obsessed with trumpets. Then maybe the flutes would have their day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
