Percussionization Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 So it was recently announced that Boston's 2014 program is entitled "Animal Farm". Thoughts? Predictions? I think that this show could be very interesting, especially with those new uni's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How_Will_It_End? Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 For those who aren't familiar with Animal Farm (like me), can someone give me and other's who aren't familiar a quick synopsis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the story of Animal Farm is supposed to reflect the events of the Russian Revolution from 1917 and the time when Stalin was in charge of Russia. Just replace the characters with farm animals and remove the explicit material and boom, you got Animal Farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) For those who aren't familiar with Animal Farm (like me), can someone give me and other's who aren't familiar a quick synopsis. It's an indictment of Communism. There are characters representing Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, and a host of other prominent figures. Pretty much that the animals on the farm claim to be equal, but certain animals rise up in a class system, where "everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others." Here's the animated 1954 version most people watched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KVLw33ZYsE Edited April 17, 2014 by fsubone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msumello Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm wondering what kind of music they will use. ....If I didn't know what Animal Farm was I would think it a comedy about animals, using light hearted and upbeat music . In reality it's an extremely dark satiric story about politics, murder, slavery, and betrayal. I would think much of the material would feature a bottom heavy low brass sound.......though I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard BAC might have one of the best bari lines this year. The music might allow the bari's to shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer was my first time ever seeing them live which was at finals and they were great but I wanted more power in their brass.I hope they get more recognition this year....BAC been around so long I'd love to see them in the top 6 **again** Edited April 18, 2014 by msumello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
