Distinguished Men of Brass Play and Dance All the Way to Vegas

Even before this performance during Tampa’s auditions, I was excited to see what the “Distinguished Men of Brass” had to offer. There was a little teaser of it early on in the show, and I could tell it was going to be good.

d’ Mo Brass, as the group calls themselves on their Facebook page, based in Tampa, combined playing brass instruments with marching percussion to create a pretty unique act.

They were entertaining. They were talented. They were unique. And they were humble. What more can you ask for from an act like this? Anyone who has frequented Busch Gardens in Tampa may recognize these fellas. For quite some time, Distinguished Men of Brass coined the name “The Sheiks of Morocco” as they entertained visitors at Busch Gardens. Here are a few videos of their performances there:


During their audition, the leader of the group mentioned they formed “Distinguished Men of Brass” after they lost their jobs. Since the group no longer performs at Busch Gardens they have found work performing at different venues and functions. Their website says they are available for weddings, conventions, festivals, and more. It’s evident that they are diverse in the type of music they perform, and they can do anything from TV Themes and Big Band to R&B and Pop.

This group definitely has experience at pleasing crowds with their talents, and they have plenty of diverse acts that I feel will keep their performances fresh and new every week. I’d love to see them go far!

Tuesday Night’s Tweets: St. Louis America’s Got Talent Auditions

Well, I missed watching Monday night’s show live because I was driving from South Carolina to North Carolina, and unfortunately, the show doesn’t stream to my phone. However, I was back tonight and was able to enjoy the show and tweet a little bit. I didn’t feel like there were any absolutely incredible acts, but there were a few I wouldn’t mind seeing again.

 

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/207640281229688834″]

I mean, isn’t it the truth? He is being brought on the stage all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I think he really adds a little bit of spark to some of the acts. I’m just wondering when Sharon’s going to be pulled up!

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/207641927426916353″]

This little boy was a gem. Not only did he have an awesome voice (especially for a six-year-old!), but he was so charming and funny. Little kids say the funniest things some times, and he is definitely one of the cutest I’ve seen. My husband and I were talking about him the rest of the show. I think he was the highlight of the night.

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/207644229537763328″]

After Monday night’s fail-of-an-escape-artist, I was pleased to see this act. But really…I’m glad he escaped, because I didn’t want to witness the first death on America’s Got Talent? Fun to watch though. Do I think he’ll win? Not really. But it was impressive. You won’t ever see ME doing something like that!

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/207649364871614465″]

I am referring to The Cut Throat Freak Show with this one. This was seriously painful to watch. I would be happy to never see a performance like this again. How do people even realize they can do things like this? If you missed it, you can watch it here…But it’s definitely not for the weak of stomach. You have been warned@

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/207650297319919616″]

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/207652064380198913″]

So when this fellow, Ron Christopher Porter, Jr. performed, while I was impressed by his “movie announcer voice”, I had to agree with Howard. It’s not an act! However, I think he was plenty satisfied with the time he was able to spend with Nick Cannon, and when he, Nick, and the final performer of the night, Curtis, did an act together..well..it was fun.

What did you think of last night’s show?

Inspire the Fire Inspires the Crowd in the AGT Tampa Auditions

“Honestly thought I was watching a production on Broadway, but it was urban at the same time” – Sharon Osborne
“I hate Glee, but I love you” — Howard Stern
“This was not corny, it was great” — between Howie and Howard

The first performance in the Tampa auditions received the comments above from the judges and a huge applause from the audience. Inspire the Fire, who some claim are similar to Glee, definitely lit up the stage and were my favorite act of the night. I was actually reminded of Glee with the song choice, Lean on Me, since that song was featured on the show Glee once. However, I was very entertained by this group. I mean, I’ve heard better vocals and seen better dancing, but I loved the act, and the meaning of the organization, Inspire the Fire. Here is their audition from the other night:

As it was introduced during the audition, Inspire the Fire, a non-profit group based in Charlotte, North Carolina,  was created to help youth, particularly those who are under-privileged. The website for Inspire the Fire describes the group as follows:

The youth we serve are ages 10-21. Statistically, this age range has been more likely to engaged in juvenile crimes . . .  The central purpose of the program is not to develop professional artists. Rather, the program strives to raise awareness and appreciation of artistic abilities of all students and to recognize and develop the outstanding talents of many students who would not be identified as gifted and talented through academic tests or other traditional means.

Participants in the program have to get a certain amount of community service hours in order to be in the group. Besides singing, there are a bunch of different activities that the members can participate in. The group also give a few performances a month.

Overall, this just seems like a great group with an awesome purpose. I’d like to see some more of what they can do. Even if they don’t win, maybe they could make a a guest appearance on the next season of Glee. What did you think of this group?

America’s Got Talent 2012 in Tweets — New York Auditions Night Two

Here’s the round-up of my thoughts for night two of New York:

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/205117445722222593″]

I think one of my favorite moments of the show was Howard’s parents. He and Howard seem to be so much alike. I was cracking up when he gave Ronald Charles some advice.

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/205119707072839680″]

This ventriloquist act was very original, and I LOVED it. Howie said it won him over, and he doesn’t typically like ventriloquism. It will be fun to see what he comes up with next.

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/205121874601054209″]

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/205122423216029696″]

Favorite act of the night, hands down. I’m a fan of Donovan and Rebecaa already and have been watching videos of them since the debuted tonight.

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/205125288210870272″]

Tom Cotter seemed like a relatively family-friendly comedian with a good background. He seemed to get the audience laughing right off the bat, which was impressive. I liked him for the most part, though comedy isn’t usually my favorite talent.

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/205129823495012352″]

[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/pureagt/status/205130227121274886″]

1) Ew. 2) The best part of this act was Howard going up there. Can I just say how relieved I am that they didn’t get through? Savage Men is NOT my cup of tea.

There you have it. Be sure to join my live tweets during next week’s auditions in Florida here.
