I was about to say the same about the trumpets. You need at least 25. It really stood out to me when they played "War." 2021-28 2019-32 2018-32 2017-28 Ideally you want about 2 trumpets for every trombone for a good balance. We're WAAAYYYY off that this year. You can play games with field show design to hide that - put the lower brass in the back , trumpets front and center close to the mics. And we rarely turn the volume up as it is. If the trumpets spend a lot more time playing closer to full volume they'll still come through when lower brass is holding back. There's not a lot they can do for sideline blowdowns or in the stands, especially when everybody is going all out but I can live with that. People tend to like lower brass heavy sounds anyway. We just have to get the numbers back up. And stop counting on scholarship money to do it.

I was at fan fest listening to the band. I don’t know what was going on that morning but it was a lack luster performance. I will chalk it up and say they were tired from all the practice for the battle of the bands this weekend. As the season goes on I am sure they will improve and continue to work on a lot of fixable issues.
Let’s go BGMM!!
