MikeKyu Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Texas Leadership Charter Academy I love seeing the Duzenbergs bring out the guard. Super precise tonguing along with the snares. The guard is hitting everything in a great way Pretty sax solo and bringing the flute in is wonderful. What a pretty mello line in the closer. Well done.

MikeKyu Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Howe Your ensemble sound in the opener is excellent. I love the front ensemble placement. Everyone is moving with purpose and confidence. Nice trombone solo and delicate woodwinds in the ballad. The guard spins look incredible with their dresses and flags overhead. Really a pretty show.

MikeKyu Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 C.H. Yohe Great spinning blocks after the pretty flute solo. Front ensemble doing good work. Great job by the brass quartet and wonderful work in the ensemble to meet their balance when you came in. Super work in the closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKyu Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Crane The flags on the introduction were excellent I am loving the bounce in the 2nd movement Great solo by the clarinet. The kites running by the band along the curve were a great effect. Thank you for not over micing the trumpet and forcing the band to play around him. Lovely solo and what can now be considered an effect....an unmic'd brass soloist Battery is rocking heading into the closer and playing with real gusto!! Good show Crane!!

MikeKyu Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Troy This is a great concept!! Opener: Low brass and front ensemble really ripping through turn 1. Good balance in the ensemble Trombone solo: well played and the guard were well in sync. Great shapes during the trio Super marching on that grinder!! The band is so nicely balanced coming out of the sousaphone feature. I love using the glissandos on t-bone to simulate the cars passing. Such a fun show, especially for a gearhead like me.

MikeKyu Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Industrial I missed the show but listened to it. Nice low brass and front ensemble anchoring the band. Battery was precise. Sorry I didn't get to see the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeKyu Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Mineola This is visually a cool looking show at preshow and set up. Holy opening statement Batman!! What an ensemble sound!! The single guard member who lit the torch and flute solo was a cool effect that was well performed. Wonderful solos and percussion feature. Gheez Mineola.....great performance.
