jjeffeory Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Any DCI or WGI shows with Rap, Hip-Hop, or Pop in them? Not sure if SCV 2001 "New Era" counts as rap.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntington Mallets Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Rhythm X 2007 uses some Justin Timberlake among other stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhYM1oMnOo4 Blue Knights Indoor 2012 you could call rap/hip hop influenced, they had some disc-mixing going on a little after 4:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=759QThYhKWQ Edited April 22, 2015 by Huntington Mallets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancidrolla Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) The 2005 Cadets battery was mos def rapping in their feature. https://youtu.be/J_F1mB466WY I'd also say that the Cavies 2002 show had a polyrhythmic, hiphop feeling bit in it. https://youtu.be/eKLb1cvwiQA Edited April 23, 2015 by rancidrolla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumScorps Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'd count the Cavaliers Bill Joel show as a pop show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I would certainly hope not but eventually it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Cavies did Billy Joel, Cadets did Jethro Tull, Crown did Rach Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmlkmen Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) 70's and 80's corps played a lot of pop music from their day. Personal favorites- The Bridgemen, "In the Stone". 84 VK, Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long". Many corps of that era to numerous to list, played what you'd hear on the radio. But if looking for recent examples, 2011 Madison- New York State of Mind. 2013 Surf - Black Eyed Peas for their closer. Spirit used Lady Gaga's , Poker Face in their 2013 show (Although you have to listen closely for it, as the Poker Face arrangement has its own nuance). I think there is a possibility of soul /R&B with hip hop influemce to be arranged to fit the field. If we are talking Soul: Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, or The Roots - I think could work and be very entertaining. I also think this song could be interesting if arranged in such a way where the lyrics could be used, maybe as a sample. Front ensemble parts write themselves into the way the song works: Come Close - Common and Mary J Blige http://youtu.be/dbbRrNHJ4Lg I saw a HS indoor percussion show In Califonia a few years ago that had Late 80's George Michael, Madonna, and Depeche Mode music. It was very entertaining. I believe Pacific Crest is playing some Depeche Mode this year- which should be interesting.

MaestroBen Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 1993 Spirit of Georgia's third song was MC Hammer's "Do Not Pass Me By". That was a fun tune to play, although we never got to the promised "Spirit meets historically black college band" production that was originally intended. I remember at one point there was talk of "Sousa-Contras" in G. Since we barely had enough money to eat, that's probably not surprising. That song starts at 4'30" here:https://youtu.be/34BfeOzaOWo?t=4m30s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Probably the closest thing to what you're asking was done by Teal Sound in 2009 and 2010. The 2009 show featured music by Janet Jackson, Coldplay, Blue Man Group, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera. In 2010, they performed music by Dream Theater, Jordan Rudess, and Coheed & Cambria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
