stewiemylove Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Seriously...Vanguard.... Glassman.... Madison Scouts?....Magic... who else? Why no cymbal lines? Just because corps don't need 'em doesnt mean they shouldn't have them. Wouldn't they just be great visual add-ons to the batterys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Vanguard has cymbals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiemylove Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Vanguard has cymbals. I know, that why I said Vanguard, Magic, Glassman, and Madison Scouts.... but who else. Why don't the Cavies, Cadets, Bluecoats( I know theres was recently retired), BK, all those not have 'em? Is it just a plain ol' they just don't feel like having one? Or is there a real reason? I'm just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortisimo Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 So are there only cymbals in the pit then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Exactly. Most corps would prefer to scrap the four or five people used for the cymbal line and add a few more brass players or pit percussionists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortisimo Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Sounds good to me. I would say the pit can handle the job fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 heck no! Hornline! Five more first sopranos =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortisimo Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Lol, no, no, you misunderstand, I meant the pit can handle playing the cymbals, so they should drop the cymbals, then they should add more brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpod Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Agreed. The Cavaliers 1998 show had the guard use different sized cymbals. It was good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortisimo Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Sounds interesting; what show was that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Agreed. The Cavaliers 1998 show had the guard use different sized cymbals. It was good stuff. Didnt the cavaliers always have the guard play cymbals back in the day, like before 98? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnareguy Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Agreed. The Cavaliers 1998 show had the guard use different sized cymbals. It was good stuff. 1998 Cavalier Show- The Machine. not "machine" of 2006. tell me if im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 You're wrong. It was called "Traditions for a New Era". They did play a piece called machine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuadraticBeats Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Well, if they got cymbal people marching twenty-inch marching cymbals, it could be worth significantly more... but they can't play most of the time. So they have to get really good at looking cool, and playing interesting things on cadences. Still, the cymbals are usually an entertaining group (our school has a rather funny cymbal squad leader, who is the younger brother of our other tenor player), and did things like nazi-like marking time, overexaggerated facial expressions, etc. in the in-class practices. He was disciplined on the field, and played and did what he was supposed to, in all technicality; he just did it in a very amusing way. So, I must argue in favor of a cymbal line.
