James H. Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Oh, sweet! I can't wait until someone posts my show this year. Our show from last year is on there. Your strong dynamics aren't very strong, but your band has a very nice sound. You Sousaphones liked punching out those notes at the very end, didn't you? :P I know, us tuba players do that. ;) Don't like how it sounded like you had two ballads in a row, though, that gets kinda boring, especially since your fourth song is a ballad. Like the upbeat songs, though. Nice energetic drumline, I love to see that. This is highschool band, right? You do competition? You sound pretty good. And look good, an overhead shot of the whole show would be nice since you can't see the forms in this angle. Ahh... annoying baby in the recording... :ermm: Anyways, since you shared, I'll share. I'm in the pit, you see me right behind the drum major as he passes through at 00:35, between me and the keyboard. At the very end of the first and third songs you can see me with the cymbals facing full out, over my head. :happy: Again, this was last years' show, I play tuba/Sousaphone this year, so I can't wait until we get a hold on one of the tapes.

You have a pretty big band, I don't like your drum majors salute though kinda gay.( No Offence), But yeah I play tuba and baritone. Quote
James H. Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 ... I don't like your drum majors salute though kinda gay.( No Offence)... Yeah, well, he WAS pretty gay. :P Still is. Great guy, though. Just..... flambouyant. Most male drum majors I've met are. Quote
Gavin Gorrick Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 For the record, calling things "gay" makes you sound uneducated.. Quote
James H. Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Well, when I talk about things being gay, I always mean it in the literal sense. It sounds a little better than saying 'homosexual', which is exactly what a number of drum majors I've met are. I'm not saying all are homosexual though, just by coincidence a large number that I have met. If you consider 'gay' as a form of 'happy', then that also applies to my earlier comments in question. As far as blm22's comment, I have no problem with that; it was understood, even if it was a little slang-ish (or whatever the appropriate word). Quote
Trickshot Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 lol, MusicMan, you are just digging yourself deeper. My drum major was gay two years ago, though. ha But this recording is very homosexual. This recording likes other male crappy recordings. I can just tell. I noticed the skill of the band outwieghs the skill of the battery percussion. You guys seem to have a very clean brass sound. Which is always good. It's either not loud enough, or the drums are two loud. (it could be the recording) But even when the battery plays as a low dynamic, I can still here them cutting through the band, I don't like that. The drumline doesn't have much chops, but it was arranged very nicely. Good n' tasty. It seems like a lot of the show fell apart quality wise during the third movement. I wish there was a better angle to see the drill. Everyone seems to be staying in step, no phasing really going on or anything..that's good. But overall, it's a lot better than most of the bands I see on youtube. And I liked it. Quote
