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.

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.

Oh yea. That’s very true. Go Troopers!

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.

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.

I love having more reasons to get psyched for Bloo's 2024 show!

Thank goodness they did it first this year. An absolute unexpected treat! Kudos to Bluecoats leadership for that surprise. 👍👍👍👍👍

Bloo won’t announce any details about their show until five seconds before they step off at their first show.

Drum corps always increases my music vocabulary and BLOO is so innovative that i cannot wait for another increase..Peace

Bluecoats announcing before Memorial Day? This didn't just happen, did it? 🤯

The Geneseo Knights opened their show with "Foreplay" by Boston back in 1986.

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/

What - no Agape?

Same percussion judge again?

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.

At least they’re changing the theme now. Not like Stoned, Awakening, Statues Awakening, then back to Awakening. 😂

I've got one: Children of the Neon Bamboo. It's not about drumming per say, but it's about music, and has an awesome concert scene where the drummer really takes over and it's accurately and artistically described. If you need some motivation or just a good read, you should check it out. CHildrenoftheneonbamboo.com Children of the Neon Bamboo: B. Glynn Kimmey: 9798988054115: Amazon.com: Movies & TV

So...evidently the design team had a change of heart. Totally different show announced just now on social media. "The Madison Scouts present their 2024 production titled "Mosaic" featuring the music White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane), Momento Magico (Youn Sun Nah & Ulf Wakenius), Egyptian Danza (Al DeMiola), Man on Fire (Harry Gregson-Williams), Unholy (Sam Smith) and Sati (Salim & Sulaiman Merchant)." Update: I’m an idiot. Not at all a completely different rep but it would appear that the theme changed.

60 year anniversary this summer.
