Tony L. Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 So I am officially excited about this years show (since I have been clamoring for this for the last decade or so. Here is what I posted in a different thread back in October about what I wanted them to do in relation to "gimmicks". We'll see if the show looks anything like I envisioned! "I think this year might be a good opportunity for the Cadets to do something centered around the topic that drives everyone crazy here: the uniforms. I envision a somewhat staged version of Mass that includes an actual plot where the very act of removong the uniform coupled with really "modern" drum corps elements such as trombone soloists blasting into microphones and some heavy exploitation of movable props culminates in the drum major ultimately shocking all of the other Cadets by losing faith and shedding the uniform. Ultimately, everyone puts the jacket back on and the Cadets close with a "classic" drum corps finale: a great company front. It allows them to use modern and classic elements in a way that has some kind of focus and purpose -- two things that were really missing from this past year's show. Oh well, just a thought." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So p!$$#) that I missed that, especially since today's my trumpeter's birthday and I would have loved to see/hear him. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I chuckled when I saw where the 10 pm nightly meditation was being held. The Faithful, the Fallen, the Forgiven... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
