  1. I like what I could hear of it on there. Sounds like Prokofiev and Korngold kind of mixed together.

    It's certainly worlds better than his soundtracks...especially Mr. Holland's Atrocity.

    It really is a great piece of music. It has always me wonder what might have been (outside of movie soundtracks) if he hadn't died so relatively young.

  2. Can't wait to hear how they are going to sound with Pearls! :satisfied:

    Seriously.

    Are they going to choke the sound of the snares like they have with with the Dynastys and Yamahas before them, or are they going to let some of the actual snare sound come off the Pearls like Vanguard does and Regiment did before they switched?

  3. The show that made it to Madison in June was completely different than the show that made it to Madison in August. We had a winner and turned it into a mess.

    A lot of people love that show, because it was pretty much all old school. There were a lot of good things in it. But, it could have and should have been magic.

    Wow, glad to hear some insight on the show.

    Watching that show one time early season in Madison was 10+ minutes of sensory overload.... and I loved it. The guard, the sparkle drums... Music of the Night as the on-field warm up. It's been 17 years, but even after the show I couldn't remember everything I had just seen. It was literally a jaw-dropping, constant goose bump-inducing, wipe up the drool at the end-type of experience from the minute you guys went on the field to the minute you left the gate.

    Sorry to hear it was such a tension-filled scene.

  4. As far as a "No tolerance" approach to talking/comments during a corps performance.....well....I don't support that. At DCI finals two years ago a fan went SHHHH to my father after he said "Awesome drumline" in a very low voice.

    Now that could have just been a difference of opinion between the shusher and your dad! :thumbdown:

  5. I don't understand. NA placed 24th in 1993, playing Kansas. They also placed 24th in 1992 playing music of Keith Emerson/ELP. So how is that a curse?

    NA grew in size from 92 to 93, but didn't improve at all. Mullet rock (poor man's prog rock) needs to be kept off the football field.

    Show me ten members of that corps that still think it was a great show to play all summer long and I'll show you ten members that have extremely effective therapists.

    And ELP>Kansas any day of the week.

    Best of luck to Spirit this summer.

  6. I can understand it for this year. However it seems every year there are those that just hate it... and i dont get it.

    I'm not a fan, but that's just me.

    Something about "writing the audience into the show" just bugs me - and I'm a huge SCV fan.

    But I'd rather just sit back and enjoy the show and cheer at my own leisure than to sit there waiting for my cue.
