corpsband

it worked but it was pretty badly drum-corps-ized -- to the point that i have a hard time saying it's Nimrod anymore. but you make a good point. do you agree with me about the voice vs. instrumental? i mean the first link i posted was to the CSO -- no slouch of an orchestra and presumably a very fine version. and it's like a double shot of nyquil with a JD chaser!

well..that right there was something. come on...you know you want to tell us

nope sorry. well played. nice arrangement. but... snooze-fest. so was Crown's (although I adore what they did visually so I didn't much care )((and going on right after Danzon certainly didn't help it)) . honestly until i heard that Voces8 version I didn't think it could be made interesting. they changed my mind.

ive always been bored, bored, bored by Nimrod. but for some reason I find this video much more palatable. instrumentation matters.

well the poster obviously has a copy of the full drill. (he should PM it to me!) otherwise there wasn't a lot of drill on the field last camp. and the drill in the opener probably won't look like the drill in the closer -- by design. so.... musically? meh -- it's not much like EOTB (which was a substantial part of '13). anyway -- if the drums are a mess -- they are in BIG trouble this year. fortunately that doesn't seem to be case (so far at least). it's going to be a very interesting year.

these are better. you could start back with colorguard appearing on Glee, contemporary color, virtually every NFL team now fielding a drumline, etc... viral memes are fun but they rapidly burn out and disappear. imo it would be far better to dramatically increase the amount of content than to create one-off viral videos (although monetizing a video could be a heck of a way to pay for your dues!) so one the one hand, there's been a tiny, itty, bitty, minuscule expansion of the niche. on the other hand, it's still mostly invisible. on the gripping hand, in today's my-refigerator-talks-to-my-thermostat interconnected world, it might not take much of a kick to get things rolling.

Good point and we don't.

Not sure that view count proves anything about drum corps being main stream. How many MB kids watch youtube? Here you have a championship show posted online that was NOT taken down by DCI. The analytics on the vid sure would be interesting. How many unique viewers? Not saying your opinion is wrong -- I"m just not convinced the view count proves it. Top result for "drum corps" on youtube? Those crazy swiss drummer guys. Top results for "DCI"? Blast :-) 2nd? A video of a BMW racing a Lancia! On a related topic - wonder how much he made off that vid :-)

nicely done.

well you have two images this (note the " i " in 20i7 ) and this ( again -- an eye). Peut être.. "In My Mnd's Eye" "The Eye in the Sky" ( considering the rep I kind of like this one -- big brother is always watching you!)

i think your guesses may be too strongly associated with their original theme / movie. what about this? makes a nice 1:30 ballad.

yeah i'm having issues. i was happily living my possessed life 'til the Cadets came along and cast me out -- then those freaking witches put a spell on me. i'm hiding out in Fort Mill, hopefully for good.

A ruse by any other name...wait. and....DUH!

wait....i thought you were Celine????? I'm so confused.

i see your puny emoji and raise you...

Automatically heard this when reading.

True. Sacktig UNLEASHED!

I expect a lot of this:

Can I just say, as a Crown honk, I really hate my last post.

G: So Pete, what if the guard is here at the end of this set? W: <evil smile>
