BRASSO Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) This thread topic on " Jazz " music in DCI made me think of Sebastian and Mia in the movie " LA LA LAND".. Those that have seen the movie will probably recall this sequence on " Jazz "., and Sebastian 's( Ryan Gosling ) belief that Jazz is "dying ", and its a music genre he loves so much and hopes to do his part to save it, and reintroduce it to newer audiences : Edited November 4, 2017 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have an issue with the cut, paste, inject, no time for melodic development, visually driven hiccup arranging in most modern DCI shows.

You could actually hear the crowd getting excited. Then they veered straight into Medea's Dance of Vengeance. You could actually hear the crowd stop being excited.) Mike And they won Most Outstanding Music at today's BOA Super Regional with possibly the most talented field I've ever seen in a marching band competition...and they were indeed my favorite. Personally loved them going from Birdland into Medea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
