Is that Brian Clark at Set #2 from the left?

I personally hope it has nothing to do with moody vampires, Beethoven,or goth anything. I hope it's a show of something like TV game show themes or sea chanteys.

Strange that both names, Caballeros and Cavaliers, mean the same thing. And yet we never see a horse. The Three Musketeers never use muskets, either, for that matter. (And there's 4 of them.) And why do they call them apartments when they're all stuck together? Cargo goes by ship, shipments go by truck. Weird.

If it's the film, the score is by Leonard Rosenman. If it's the miniseries, it's Lee Holdridge. If it's the song by Big Country, it's based on Bach's "Air on a G-String" and select themes from Cats. Which would be so Phantom.

/kills self, takes all of DCP and Phantom's staff with him

Thanks! We worked our butts off on that one. Glad it still works for you!

Several times, I think. You might want to search for them.

Good point...but that was two shows. They performed excerpts from 79, yes?

Will be waiting.This thread is worthy of discussions. (Esp in the off-season.)

Why? What's the longer answer?

Lots of answers to this particular question. SCV at South Milwaukee, 1970? BD 1976? Garfield 1982? 1984? SCV 1989? Madison 1975? Reveries at VFW in 1966? 1965 VFW at McCormick Place?

I'd love to see somebody do something with the music from The French Connection. Seriously underrated score from a masterpiece movie. The best "bad mood" movie ever made, maybe.

Indeed. One of the reasons the boulevards of Paris are so wide is because the idealistic young students would "revolt" at the drop of a hat and throw tables, chairs, doors, etc, into the streets (which is why that "barricade" set in the stage show is so cool). City fathers started building the bouls wider to beat the students at their own game.

Didn't Pansy Swagger open for the Gin Blossoms back in 1994? Or was it Candlebox?

I actually hated that version. it was clumsy. I'm not a huge fan of Les Miz on the field. Plus, it's not really about revolution. Revolt, kind of.

I believe several corps do this now (although I have no proof of this). I'd be surprised, although again I have no proof, if most corps didn't offer something akin to a copy of the home version of the game on the way out for kids they've cut. I actually saw a cut letter dating from the 80's and it did just that. She ended up playing with us. Most of the top dawgs are prtty professionally-run machines; I'd think that goes with the territory. Or am I wrong?

NOT TO ME, he said saucily. I'VE NEVER SEEN THE SHOW!!! (wah-wah-waaaaah)

What, jealous Oberon? But it made me laugh.

Well, yes, they were depicting protests in the show. the entire guard book of the "Aquarius" number was carrying signs that said things like "PEACE" (which they yelled; you can hear it on the record) and "NO MORE WAR." Did you not see the 'Ban the Bomb' logo that morphed intoa mushroomcloud? How about the crosses during the number called "Requiem?" It's fine if you didn't dig it, but it sounds to me like you never even saw it. Subtle it was not.

You apparently hated it so much you apparated it in time! It was 1988, four years after the Vietnam show. They seemed to in those years-light show (83, 85, 87), and heavier shows in 84, 86, and 88, although I have no idea of their staff planned it that way or not. I didn't like the 88 show so much at first, but it grew on me big time, and we toured together so I saw them a lot.

Yes. No your ownself.

TO, BD 1982-83. Bacchanalia, BD 84. Conquest, Boston, every year. I'm actually having trouble thinking of something Wayne Downey and Tom Float/Scott Johnson/Whomever haven't made better. Almost everything they've done excels the original. Bacchanale, Samson et Dalila, Phantom 1991. There are tons more, I'm sure. This is one of those "could go on forever" threads.

Karen.

I think the CK show was 87. In 86 they did a train motif show.

I think Dagenham in 1983, when they came over, played an arrangement of Norwegian Wood that resembled BD's 79-80 arrangement of Cuban fire, that 6/8 - 3/4 back and forth Latin beat.
