Tim K Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I enjoy Music City and after last summer's show believe they ar ready for World Class. I enjoy Music City's originality and ability to move in completely different directions each year, such as a country Western/Broadway show in 2012 to a Latin flair in 2013, a regal show where a king is crowned in 2016 and a tribal, anything but regal show in 2017. There has also been steady improvement each year. Good luck Music City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I always chuckle at the 2012 O.C. Finals video, because I can see my car parked in the background. More importantly: congratulations to Music City! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I’ve waited 30 years to see a Nashville corps in World Class. Quite a day for the Music City. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredMusTeach Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Music City just posted this on their Facebook page: Music City is pleased to welcome Kent Baker as the organization’s new executive director. For the past 22 years, Baker has performed French horn with the USAF Band in Washington, DC. He has an extensive background in music education that includes serving as a high school band director, as a staff member with the Cavaliers and Cadets drum corps, and as a judge and clinician for DCI, Winter Guard International and for numerous marching band competitions. As a composer, Baker has won numerous awards and had his works featured on NBC’s The Today Show, Fox & Friends, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Kennedy Center Honors. “I am excited to be part of such a dynamic and creative team,” Baker said. “The students and staff at Music City have a reputation for being not just a drum corps, but a family, one of which I’m proud to join.” Feel free to contact Kent at director@musiccitydrumcorps.org to welcome and congratulate him. Here's to great things to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehull Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Music City to World Class opens a new geographic area to drum corps. Am sure some talented people from the region will gravitate to Music City now that they are in with the big guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just Tennessee, but also neighboring Kentucky, where there are a lot of great small bands with talented members that deserve a corps not far from home (especially since previous nearby corps like Star of Indiana and Capital Sound are long gone). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 As I have said many times, there are now quite a few World Class alums running bands in the Nashville area. There is plenty of home grown talent to give Music City a great base to grow from. And it’s a great city to send your kid off to if you are in Indy, Atlanta, Memphis or Mississippi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madcityscout Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 It will be interesting how Music City and Spirit of Atlanta will be competing for talent in the south now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
