The "Music Corps Should Do" thread
kdaddy replied to Lance's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Given today's date, I'm reminded of this ###### tune that has been played far too little in drum corps. -

Drum corps needs more Kilar. Around 7:20 to the end has elements that could be used in drum corps. -

On a related note, is Brian Hickman still in the activity? -
Source music you discovered from DCI shows

Btw, conductor Dalia Stasevska and the BBC Phil are releasing a CD called Dalia's Mixtape, which will include an orchestral version of Nautilus by Anna Meredith, which you may remember from Bluecoats 2022. (And they followed up with her tune Bump last summer) -

I always liked classical, so I probably would've found much of the classical I've heard in drum corps at some point anyway - though I was certainly introduced to a bunch through drum corps. There are some deep cuts that I likely never would have stumbled upon because they're generally not played by orchestras: Shosty's Ballet Suite #4 or Fire of Eternal Glory, Copland's Organ Symphony, Hanson's symphonies, Barber's Medea, to name a few. I'd say where my tastes expanded specifically due to drum corps would be in jazz. Stan Kenton (though he's famous), Don Ellis (would not have understood the title tune to Whiplash), Pat Metheny (he'd just be a guy that thinks Kenny G sucks), Chick Corea, and the jazzophonic stuff Xmen was doing in the early-to-mid-90s. -

I attended a clinic with Frank Ticheli today, and this tune was rehearsed. The ending is the drum corpsiest thing that ever drum corps'd. -
Revisiting this...

Tremendous upbeat ballad from a tremendous ending to a tremendous movie https://open.spotify.com/track/6KM0xh2D8KljvvVPJv8eHm?si=anQ0l-3DTLqj8-qjJ-ovew -
If I remember right, he was on Adam Sage's staff, then left for Bluecoats for 2008, then returned to Regiment in 2009-2010 after Sage's departure. I think he had a design role in 2009 and 2010. He might have been caption head upon his return as well.

Have you read any posts in this thread where he is being "championed"?

I just noticed that Rick Subel is listed as a Regiment program consultant. While I wasn't such a fan of his shows at Crown (relative to the previous Crown regime), he's clearly a talented guy. Here's hoping he brings some new ideas to the design team.

Vintage DCI at 2023 BOA Grand Nationals
kdaddy replied to Quad Aces's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It would be interesting to see how successful the football teams of, say, the BOA finalists are. For Oklahoma - which had no one competing in Indy this weekend - Tulsa Union has long been a football power, and Broken Arrow has long been mediocre. In less competitive BOA programs, Jenks is a football power, Owasso is solid, and Bixby is an up-and-comer in a lower class than the others. -
So Adam Sage will continue in a Regiment design team role while serving as artistic director with the Cavaliers?

GoFundMe? Really? When the corps has its own donation mechanism?

Cadets Suspend for 2024

I've been trying to think of a corps that hasn't been so visible in the offseason. But that may not matter, as Cadets tweet this the day they made their announcement: -

I would not say that it's "likely just an unconfirmed rumor still that Crown has filled the open position." Reid Atkinson lists that he's the program coordinator on his webpage. One could say, I guess, that it's unconfirmed unless Crown states it, but it's not "likely a rumor" given that the person himself states that he has the job.
