stuh Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Colts - They left the monkey in charge of Oz. Seems like music from the Planet of the Apes would be appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland1 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 No. "We" don't. You might, but that's a totally different deal. BK has entertained me three of the last for years..."I" want them to stay the new course. BK has entertained me too. The problem is thinking "we" means 100% every person. Every year we hear rumors, this year it was even a "hard rumor" on the corps rep show. So it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckH Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Why am I getting images in my head of the Blue Knights doing a show themed around Blucifer? (It'd be an awfully radical departure, and perhaps a bad idea.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCPatrick Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I think Rufus Wainwright has a ton of music that would be good for a corps to do, particularly a ballad. Not sure who, but since Bluecoats did a great job with Vienna Teng's piece this year, let's go for Bluecoats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesmr Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Had it with themes that use 50 pieces of music in 8-bar snippets. Pick ONE substantial piece of music literature with a thematic element, and MAX IT OUT. PR - Prokofiev Alexander Nevsky, all-out @ss-kicking #####-to-the-wall (i.e. no prancing, squatting or bug-squishing) Crown - Walton Belshazzar (complete with orgy :) Cadets - Torke Color Music Edited August 10, 2014 by hughesmr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleyrp Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Would love to see BK show the next chapter of this years story- Between Heaven and Hell.... Using great mix of movie music and modern literature 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta05 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Maybe it's just 'cause I'm weird sometimes and figured let's try a theme I don't think I've ever seen in drum corps, but I'd love to see Boston or someone similar well-versed in dark themes to do a post-apocalyptic show a la The Road (music TBD).

wesleyrp Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Actually truthfully ever since 2000 I've wanted BK to revisit Montage- music of Peter Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
