Blue Devils 2023 - The Cut-Outs - Ballad Full Brass

[@drumcorpsnut26]

Coincidentally, my band played the same piece (different arrangement) this year. It was honestly one of my favorite ballads ever.

What piece was used for this?

@@hunterward9137 Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. However, the BD arrangement pulls much more strongly from Josh Groban's recording.

[@lukasky03]

It’s gorgeously played but I feel like when the tempo picks up it loses a bit of emotional resonance. The chorus especially needed to breathe a bit-more attention to melody and feeling rather than meter and it would have been perfect.

HA....ok.

@@rguillenmusic Moon River and Everything Must Change were 82 & 85 bpm. Between 80-90 is the money spot for ballads.
