Oh, I get it now. Rach Star (which I LOVED!) did not place higher because it was the music snob judges that couldn't get past the source music genre. Therefore, that must continue to be the case for all future corps reps (the hypothesis and findings must be reproducible), otherwise there would have to be some other reason for prior rock/metal sourced programs to place lower than expected. Maybe I'm naive, or not enough of a music snob/artiste, but I don't get why a judge would automatically dismiss a corps performance solely on the genre of its source music. And, BTW, there's a whole other section of the original song that the referenced brass band arrangement chose not to include. Quite melodic, and would fit into the right drum corps program nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Carolina Crown was top 3 in Music GE in prelims and semifinals.....and 2nd/5th in finals. So perhaps one judge was a little bit harsh but they still did pretty dang well with that music program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntifex Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The rock music isn't the focus of the show, nor is it very much of the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Crown 2011 was mixed with some Rachmaninoff. But it was mainly rock music. I really enjoyed that show. Whenever I want to introduce someone to DCI that was familiar with that music (like my dad), I'd show them that show. Maybe some different music will introduce more people to DCI.

Cadevilina Crown Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 This short film apparently will be the basis of Genesis' 2017 production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they all wearing bowler hats in the vid? Spirit? or is it a 2017 must have like Trombones, French horns, and props? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) An even more thorough explanation of Genesis 2017. And it looks like Rhapsody in Blue has been swapped out in favor of Frank Ticheli's "Blue Shades," and "Habanera" from Carmen has been added as well.
