This line really was legendary. Here's hoping Vanguard have a great year and so does DCI. Rest in Peace Cadets. FHSAB

He should be: it's his instrument. It's what he played marching with Phantom in the late 80s/early 90s.

The excellent writing helps a ton, but their projection is truly GOAT tier. You hear every note of every 16th run and they're louder than the trumpets with the actual melody. Absolutely a main character mello section.

That F Sustain at the end is a thing of beauty. You missed one thing - double high C last 4-8 beats of the end.

I think that's a screamer trumpet. Do the mellos play it too? That would be nuts

@@Moosepants12 For sure no. Saw a video where it was a GoPro camera on one of the lead mellos. The mellos definitely played it.

Babylon is the best DCI show. Period. There’s no changing my mind on this.

Really was a phenomenal show. Haven’t seen anything like it in the activity since

As great as they were, I think 2012 Crown still edges them out! It's a tight race. 1990 Star would be my pick for 20th century for sure tho. That ending of the first movement in 90 Star would be really cool to see transcribed!

Go back and listen to the mello line from 1992. the opener was almost entirely 16th notes. And it originally ended on double C. The last note of the show for the Mello's in 1992 was G above high C. More than an octave higher than this last note. I say more because those mello's were in G, not F.
