Ok, great to hear. As you could see I phrased that as a question because I don't know either. But I seem to remember one of the judges remarks about any reference to the old organization.

The Romantics - Blue Devils 2024
jwillis35 replied to Box5Opinion's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
There are some semi-classical/jazz/new age fused composers out there who have written some remarkable works that I do think Blue Devils need to take a look at. -
Actually, not true. Our legal advisors have looked everything over on the website carefully, our mission statement is clear, and they are quite aware of the "in's and out's" of CAE's legal issues and what we can do or not do. We have had discussions for months concerning this. Thank you for your concern.

Pre-Spring Move Ins Predictions
jwillis35 replied to corps8294's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I think Bluecoats are going to have an absolute killer-fun show. As with many of the recent years I expect them to contend or be close. I am excited for Blue Devils as always. Obviously I expect them to be amazing and to contend as they always do, and seeing that BD polish live, in person is a sight to behold. I also hope the show is as fun as last season or even more so. Looking forward to hearing the music Carolina will be playing, and same with Boston. I absolutely LOVED Boston's music last summer. Same with Carolina. From just a music perspective those may have been my two favorite music books. Probably the biggest question that will be on the minds of many fans is will SCV be closer to the top 4 (maybe in the top 4) or are they closer to the 5-8 crowd? I have to believe camps have gone well. The corps, despite the financial issues (etc.), is still one of the biggest brands in DCI. If the show is designed and developed well then I have to believe they can compete at a high level. Or will the likes of Mandarins, Phantom, Cavaliers be too much for a corps that had to take a year off? I loved the Mandarins show last year and look forward to this summer. I also have a feeling the Cavaliers are going to be HOT this summer. Maybe a dark-horse for top 5. I always love me some Phantom Regiment. Just like last year and the year before I think the 5-9, even 5-10 matchups are going to be incredible. And with Troopers recruiting popularity over the recent years and their surge in ranking and quality (not to mention Colts, PC and others) I think it's from 5th to 15th that we are in for a treat this summer. The only real predictions I can make now is that Blue Devils will contend. I think Bluecoats will be in the mix, as will Carolina and Boston. But I am curious to get a read on SCV. Good luck to all the corps as we head toward the spring training in May. -

I’m soooo happy with their song selection. And also, it seems like them are moving past their psychedelic phase. What they put out so far seems like a very strong cohesive concept, capable of competing for top spot. I fully expect they are doing something about playing with blocks or jenga, which is like Bloos answer to The Cutouts. -
Bluecoats Announce 2024 Musical Selections
kevingamin replied to kevingamin's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
That's what I get for searching "Boston" on DCX Museum instead of the song title. The listing has no composer credited for Foreplay, but it does show it as part of the Knights' rep in 86, like you said. -

Troopers announce early & now everyone else is playing catch-up. 😎 -
I agree. Also someone may have also brought this up but the name of this organization, with its obvious reference to old Garfield Cadets/Cadets, may make them liable for current or future law suits, Yes? I get the idea...but it might be too early for this.

Bluecoats Announce 2024 Musical Selections

Based on the selections - the Bluecoats are gunning for PERCUSSION caption. Loving the branding of the show idea in the announcement! Good Luck Bluecoats, bring something on to the field that we haven't seen or heard and can't wait to see the visual package that compliments those musical ideas. -

The Geneseo Knights opened their show with "Foreplay" by Boston back in 1986. -
The Romantics - Blue Devils 2024
KVG_DC replied to Box5Opinion's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Yah 2014 was a great show. I loved it when they pulled out the classic uniforms on the racks at finals for the ending. That show still gets me every time at the end. The build up to the star formation, then the gentle tag with the 50, the couple moving into their new home, and the uniforms on the rack. -
Though this is not the first time Son Lux’s music will be performed on the drum corps field, this is the first selection the Bluecoats will perform as part of their two year partnership with the band. This does, however, appear to be the first time a drum corps will perform the music of Boston. https://medi-nerd.com/2024/04/28/bluecoats-announce-2024-musical-selections/

Madison Scouts 2024 repertoire: “Unholy”
crownisking replied to Swmstom1998's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I remember that. There's no way GH ran that idea by any of the design team and they were like "yeah, let's go with that." 🫠 Unfortunately, Madison can use this little mini blunder as an excuse to hold off on announcing next year's show.
