fifer Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Musically the show is just too chopped up and "drum-corps-ized" for my tastes. I'd love to have heard this superlative hornline play it truer to the original compositions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMS0527 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I'm only basing my opinion of the Des Plaines APD, but I thought the show was great... It's the only APD I've listened to where I thought "this is a great show" at the end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggiePhil Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 It's trite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfans1 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 My first impression was that it was 85 and 87 scouts in a blender. rev it up and see what comes out!!! i know it sounds mean but I also saw them early on. A& P wasn't good in 87 and it is still too boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsar Nikk Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 It's trite. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Trite? Can you explain? No offense, but you've used the word twice in describing them, and I just want to make sure you didn't just use "Word of the Day" toilet paper.

DCImonkey Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Awesome show! Not what I'd expect to hear from PR, but I'm glad they've climbed back up into the upper echelon of the activity playing super music and an incredibly high level. Entertaining! I'd like to see them sneak away with a title this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offense taken, sir. And yes, I know what trite means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I know what trite means. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alright, take all the offense you want then, because it was certainly meant to be offensive. Now you'll know how the fans, alumni, designers, and performers of the 2005 Regiment show feel when you call their show "trite." And you know what...I'm not sure you DO know the meaning of the word. Because this show does NOT lack the power to evoke interest, and the music has NOT been overused (American in Paris AND Rhapsody in Blue have been used by 3 Division I corps since 1980). You can say it bores you, you can say you are not a fan of the corps, you can say you're not a fan of Gershwin. But the show is certainly not trite, and if you're offended that someone questioned your use of the word (talk about lame), well too darn bad...what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
