SCSU was good until they went into the upper register. Need a lil more control up there.

Oh I really wasn't sure who it was...thanks for the correction tho!
Anywho....
Screaming doesn't define a "good" section. It only makes a good section seem more versatile/talented. If it's done right. It takes more control to play in extreme ranges....high or low....compared to just staying in the "comfort zone".
My 2 cents...

Does a trumpet section (or any brass section) have to go up into the upper register to get more power out of the section? Or is it more about the control, and staying in tune (and not necessarily going up in the upper register)? Cause I hear a lot of brass sections (or individuals) try to strain to squeeze out those really high notes...and what usually comes out are missed tones, which are weak, and out of tune, and they make the entire section sound uncharacteristically thin and weaker than they could be.
Any insight brass players.
IMO...range is cool...but if it's not on point, then it KILLS EVERYTHING....and in my book, there is no "A" for effort.
