SFZ541 Registered: 01/22/06 Loc: Sanibel, FL	After All of the help. I made some decisions for my instrumentation. Pit Only Music: 3 Marimba 3 Vibraphone 1 Rack, maybe 2 4 Timpani Winter Guard Stuff: 2 Marimba 2 Vibraphone 2 Racks 4 Timpani If you wanna keep posting cool, but I've got what I need. Thanks all. [edit]I may use other stuff, but all pit's have the rest so it'll be irrelevant.

basschick_sara Registered: 06/08/06 Loc: Missouri CIty, Texas	no xylophone? xylophones are probably the most important pit instrument. They provide most of the sound. _________________________

Spice Registered: 04/22/04 Loc: Florida	The xylo certainly does provide a ton of sound, but it may also overpower some of the pit or cut through too much of the horn sound. If the pit isn't the forefront the xylo may bring too much focus away from what's going on on the field. Plus, any "cut through" parts can be played on the top end of the marimba with some extremely hard mallets. Probably justifying, but makes sense to me. _________________________ 04 - Americanos Front Ensemble - Timpani 06 - 1st Degree Front Ensemble - Vibes 07 - Infinity Front Ensemble - Vibes

paradawhat Registered: 09/21/05	the simple solotion would be for to play with the correct dynamics or get a louder horn section =P haha but really you should keep them in they add a great tone to the front ensamble i couldnt imagine one without it. _________________________ Castle Snare line

Divalish Registered: 04/16/03 Loc: WV	Listen to Crossmen 2002. We used a xylophone for two measures throughout the entire show. It wasn't missed. _________________________ ~patty Crossmen '02-'03 & a whole bunch of WGI

SFZ541 Registered: 01/22/06 Loc: Sanibel, FL	Xylo and bells and such fell into the "all pits have" area, sorry I wasn't clear. _________________________ Cypress Lake High School Marching Pride Freshman - 06-07 - Snare Sophomore - 07-08 - Tenors Junior - 08-09 - Tenors, Drum Captain In the future - ??-?? - Center Tenor of some corps I used to be Apollo541
