DrumManTx Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This is one of the coolest, most bad ###, exciting sounding shows for me in my time as a fan on announcement. This sounds SO cool. I might have a new most excited to see show. And I know about a few more than the common fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Mistified Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thank you jjeffeory - duplicates abound... Having said that, I think it's an incredible selection for SCV. Yes, very much like 1997-2000. So, even more thrilled. As for me, it will be my 40th anniversary of seeing SCV for the first time and the excitement has yet to fade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvphan Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Very interesting and very different concept for them compared to what they've done over the last 5 years. Many wanted something new/fresh from them and we're definitely getting that! On first take it appears to be a more complex concept. Obviously design makes or breaks a show but conceptually there appears to be more here this year. Hoping this can get them back on the podium! Triumph of Time is a really neat piece, but like others have said it's ~18 minutes, so I'm actually really excited to see how differently SCV and the Blue Devils work with it.

I'll be interested in hearing BOTH versions done by these two, Northern California corps, in their anniversary years. The last time two finalist corps played the same music in the same year was when Boston and Cadets played Malaguena in 2003. Before that, it was Crossmen and SCV with Blue Shades in 1999 Other notables: Bluecoats and Blue Devils - Johnny One Note - 1989 Madison and Blue Devils - Strawberry Soup - 1993 Bluecoats and Crossmen - Caravan -1990 This year will very likely be the highest combined placement of corps playing the same piece of music in the same year. Point is, it's been done before and we've gotten two interesting takes on the same music. Try not to whine too much! There's certainly enough material for each corps to play that doesn't overlap in a piece that is as long as "Triumph of Time"!
