DrumManTx Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I listened to last years show today, I still think Turning was a FANTASTIC ballad and one of the few points in the show where I really connected with the theme/message they were trying to send. I think it was successful even if the rest wasn't. I fear with the passage of time it will get lost because of the stigma it already has garnered.

When all the horn players dash onto the stage, shaking each other etc. Very powerful IMO, couldn't believe they changed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hopkins live now... Should see show announcement around April 3rd Not planning on much early video etc... Lots of NY Philharmonic tie-ins C2 updates: drum line all involved indoor - so they are mostly in for rehearsals only Saturday night thru Sunday. Show is unnamed. Appalachian Morning, Appalachian Morning again (by another composer) and the end of Appalachian Spring. Need a few brass members - running about 52 and want 60, so in the middle of recruitment. Corps is in "pretty good shape" - playing an indoor show with Reading Bucs indoor in May. Hoping the early performance will help the corps have a goal to work towards and get off to a better/more prepared start. Percussion full. Have 20 guard contracts out - marching 32. New food truck. A little behind schedule due to snow - but are back at it this weekend in the build out. Cadets HOF - nominations underway until March 31. 2 or 3 nominated so far Tickets available for shows: June 30th in Allentown, then Clifton all day on July 1st event then July 2nd DCI show in Clifton, August 1 Annapolis etc,,, Cadets 2 have a mini tour from Annapolis thru Chester and Allentown (Friday night), Cadets are on Saturday night Hopkins referenced "costumes" for the corps several times Clash of the Corps - Hopkins was asked in October if the corps wanted to do it, he said yes. FUSE is out. So still possible so they are waiting for Production Company to sign with a new network... if it happens Cadets will be a part! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the restaging was nearly as effective - but that was the thought/process or criticism that lead to the change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For The Cadets, the concept surrounds benches in order to set the stage for the musical and visual journey that the corps will take us on for the 2017 season. These benches will be the only props that will actually cross the end lines of the field. Used by the guard, the brass and even the percussion, the benches will provide a place of respite, a center for gathering and a focus for presentation. 24 benches will support the members of the 84th version of the corps as they bring another trademark Cadets production to life.

During webinar design staff said show takes you to a "time and place". I keep thinking Bernsteins Mass/Chichester Psalms given the use of vocals they talk about. Any ideas, thought? My 2009 show I arranged with the band I teach....great choice!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
