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 didnât say anything about âsimultaneous responsibility.â What a strange concept to reward. You should march and play because thatâs what happens in a drum corps show, not just as one of a dozen âsimultaneous responsibilityâ options that judges can use to jack up your score. -
They rocked that in 2011. Same arrangement as Bridgemen 1980 I believe.

Arenât 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 âdrum corpsâ before that day. I knew it couldnât have been a marching band, because Iâd 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 bandâs). 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 doesnât actually drown out the ending. I donât even think I watched a video of the show until a few months later. Iâve thought about those four descending baritone eighth notes in the closer probably once a week in the 18 years since. Doesnât get much more timeless than that.
