Yeah, I had a problem with melody also. Well, I actually hear many melodies and motifs. I guess focus of the show is the machine. I get it.
-
Just watched the show on video.google.com, I liked it. I think it is the entire show. (How it got there, I have no idea)
I wasn't a fan of last years show, but this show is pretty cool. Should be neat to see what becomes of it. Didn't think I would be able to see this corps this early in the season. I am really excited about the shows this year. I get to see all the west coast corps next weekend...Cool!
-
Wow! That is a cool clip at the end. I am really excited for this season!

I've been told that the entire rep will be Barber's Piano Concerto No. 1.
I hope that wasn't supposed to be kept private, since it's not quite a public announcement yet... but ####, it's May, the season is walking up to my front porch as we speak.
I never been a big fan of the Blue Knights but I am a very big fan of the Barber Piano Concerto. I was in a winterguard that used the piano concerto for their show, but they changed the repertoire right in the middle of the season.
I would really enjoy BK this year if they do that concerto.

Didn't santa clara vanguard change a lot of the show throughout the 1992 season. Maybe it was just the guard uniform change. I know they still didn't make top 5 but the end result was pretty cool.
-
I guess I will go to the fossil Creek Stadium 11 in Fort Worth.
I am new in town and hope I am not too lonely.
-
I am going to go way back, but I really thought the colorguard costumes at the early season of the Santa Clara Vanguard 1990 "Carmen" show fit the theme much better.
-
The music at the end is very impressive. I am excited about the show now! Go Devils!
-
Just moved to Fort Worth Texas....I don't know where to see it. I pretty sure there are a lot of options in the area.
-
I am trying to remember you....You obviously are one of those babes that look better as they age.....WOW! (and this is a gay man speaking) I marched with you in '93. What a year, eh? You, my dear, are gorgeous!!! :)
-
That show blew me away....I was soooo into Blue Devil's that year, but when I saw Star I have to admit I was a little taken by the show....BD is still one of my favorite emotional shows that year but yea, Star was totally impressive.
And yes, I think they had some dove and other catholic symbloism at the end of the show with those huge silks. It worked very well with Belshazzar's Feast.
-
Yeah, Now you have sparked my interest! It doesn't hurt to share. :)

I was having trouble deciding between 1989 and 1992...
I went with 1989
-
1996
1997,1999 close second

Yikes! I still have my paintbrush in storage somewhere. :sshh:

It is great to hear the appreciation for the '93 Devils show. It was all about the hornline that year. I was in the colorguard (I didn't drop at finals). In fact, I think there is a close up of me doing the back bend move with my dance partner on the DVD. But, yes that hornline had a lot to be proud of.
-
Yeah, the boos are going to happen....I remember getting booed when BD won the high colorguard caption in 1992. It didn't bother me at all. I know I did my best and there were plenty of other people that enjoyed what we were doing at the time. Of course there was a big colorguard rivalry between The Cadets and BD throughout the 90's. Boos were expected on both sides.
-
Didn't BD's guard win on finals night....at least got the highest guard score?
I don't think it was the guard that ruined it for them finals week.
-
I am excited for the Blue Stars. I had to laugh at the "St. Olaf College Degree" that the executive director has. Isn't that where "Rose" from the Golden Girls Television show is from. :P
-
I haven't heard "Serra Palada" in a while. I remember it being used by winterguards in the early 1990's. It should be interesting on the field.
-
I just found the 1990 CDs and listened to BD in my car today.
That is the reason why I marched BD a couple of years later...
-
Back to the MARS Topic....I remember in 92 and 93 that it seemed to be a breeding ground for Mosquitos....At nights we would have to take mosquito repellent breaks...If you looked up at the lights, it was just swarming.
Was it like that always?
-
I remember marching BD in 92 and having a problem with the Freelancers....not because of placings but because a lot of my colleagues marched Freelancers and a few of us marched BD that year. I guess they felt like I was trying to prove something, but I wanted to march the colorguard and it was the first year they let men in the colorguard. In fact, I think other golleagues marched VK and SCV and had the same problem with the Freelancers. It wasn't a vicious problem because come finals night we were glad the California had a great representation in the top 12. That was a pretty competitive year and we realized that we were in it for the activity in the end.
CAVALIERS!
