> Hey, i just wanted to know what everyone thought about the Kittanning band? I thought it was a really good show, they moved alot more than TJ did.
Yes, I agree. TJ has about 124 kids I'm told and played real nice...good power from Brass and Perc. BUT>>>>>KHS BAND moves in every musical phrase in the opener and about 1/2 in Krupke. In Sing Sing Sing ( our closer which will be heard next home game if time permits) the band moves about 80%.. We think it's better to try to SHOW! a musical phrase while playing it. It is more difficult and sometimes the "power" of the big bands gets lost in a band the size of KHS. I'm glad you like the style and I hope to continue to IMprove on the 'technical' aspect of the music and marching week by week.
