why no cymbal love?

[stewiemylove]

 

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?

[Dynasty]

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

[LeanderBass5]

When Cadets were Garfield, they had a line.

that is kind of depressing.

So are there only cymbals in the pit then?

[Danpod]

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.

[Fortisimo]

Sounds good to me. I would say the pit can handle the job fine.

[Danpod]

heck no! Hornline! Five more first sopranos =)

[Fortisimo]

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.

[Danpod]

Agreed. The Cavaliers 1998 show had the guard use different sized cymbals. It was good stuff.

[Fortisimo]

Sounds interesting; what show was that?

Didnt the cavaliers always have the guard play cymbals back in the day, like before 98?

1998 Cavalier Show- The Machine.

[Skippy]

You're wrong.

 

It was called "Traditions for a New Era". They did play a piece called machine though.

[thesnareguy]

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.
