SCV trilogy that never was
Hrothgar15 replied to kdaddy's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
In December 2006 they announced Eureka!, 3hree, and Clue (the whodunit show) for 2007, 2008, 2009. Who knows how much of that last one was already planned out before getting canned. -
Are they even marching?
Hrothgar15 replied to oldestoftheold's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
He asked about marching while playing specifically. He didn’t say anything about “simultaneous responsibility.” What a strange concept to reward. You should march and play because that’s what happens in a drum corps show, not just as one of a dozen “simultaneous responsibility” options that judges can use to jack up your score. -
They rocked that in 2011. Same arrangement as Bridgemen 1980 I believe.

“Now let's do something with no voice!” *crowd erupts in applause* (I remember that being semifinals?) -

Aren’t they all… -
Yep, this. I walked into my high school band room one day in 2004 and someone had put the finals recording of that show on the sound system. I had never so much as heard the words “drum corps” before that day. I knew it couldn’t have been a marching band, because I’d never heard a marching band play a piece of music like that opener the way they did (never mind the arranger being the same as my high school band’s). The mystique of hearing something like that is probably one of the last examples of pure wonder I can remember from my childhood. How it was so mature and otherworldly and so far removed from anything I knew. I spent the next few days obsessing over a recording I found on Limewire, which unbeknownst to me was from the San Antonio regional where the crowd doesn’t actually drown out the ending. I don’t even think I watched a video of the show until a few months later. I’ve thought about those four descending baritone eighth notes in the closer probably once a week in the 18 years since. Doesn’t get much more timeless than that.
