The End Is Nigh


Recommended Posts

I laughed. From what I've heard from other people, it sounds really cool so I'm going to give it a chance. I found Be Italian in 2014 and the Kpop song in 2015 to be very odd choices but when I heard the implementation, I loved it. I think BD does really well with making these eccentric music choices sound tasteful

I believe its been pretty well established by now that the perennial Elites Corps at the top of the DCI heap can play anything, ie " Jingle Bells " ... " Happy Days Are Here Again "... " Dionne Warwick pop tunes from the 60's,.... " I Got Rhymn ( from Girl Crazy )... and Justin Bieber pop tunes..... etc..... ANYTHING, and place well. So long as these Elites have a killer guard, visual design, and the superb influx of MM talent each and every year, they can make it work for themselves.

The Blue Devils will place well, of course.

"Composer: Justin Bieber" is the most hysterical thing I've seen in drum corps, and that's really saying something considering I've seen the following:

You say it like it's a bad thing, but you didn't say the reason is because it's done with such a high quality. I know you know that, not saying you didn't and you are right and Elite, as you said , they can do just about anything and make it work. Not every corps can say that or reach a quality that even some simple of thought or show can end up so fantastic. I think many corps even BITD of a great quality could probably do the same.,,jmo

Just because you have the quality to make crap sound acceptable doesn't mean you should select crap in the first place.

Mahler, Bruckner, Strauss, Sibelius, Delius, Vaughan Williams, Bax, Janacek, Hindemith, etc., etc. ... but no. They go with the guy posting on Facebook a selfie while grabbing his junk in his underwear.
