I just saw part of the Blasts show on PBS last night after the DCI championships. The horns they use are the Canadian Brass c50s. The Star of Indiana used all CB instruments when they left DCI. They did a few tours with the Canadian Brass, and used their horns. Now that they are doing the BLAST thing I noticed though there are a few Yamahas (look like silver 321s) being used. Perhaps they needed more horns and got them cheaper, I do not know. I noticed Yamaha horns in the other sections also. And of course their Percussion was yamaha.
Great show though if you get a chance to see it, don't miss it. They are going to be touring the US later this fall. With a month at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC around December. I amy have to go see it in person.
Think of it a STOMP with brass and percussion instruments!
