luvs me sum mello!

The first reply is correct. You are talking about the membership behavior and not the uniform. Band and corps uniforms are the same. How members treat them MAY be different. Although, I have seen many many bands here in Texas, including every one I've ever worked with, have a great deal of discipline when it comes to uniforms. There will always be children (I emphasis that word) that think "Eff this I'm in band for the credit and I'll walk around with my uniform unzipped", but those students always meet consequences (again, speaking from personal experience, not saying all programs do this.) Example: The LD Bell Marching Band gets is very professional in uniform. Those kids know that if they don't that the director and even their peers will come down on them. They sit in an organized block in the stands while waiting for score announcements. No moving, no talking, and no cheering for yourself when they announce you've won. Much like many DCs do in retreat. Many marching bands have the same respect because their directors are FMMs of corps from all over the country from all different eras. It would make sense that that tradition of uniform respect trickle down. In short, don't paint with such a broad brush.

I appreciate its complexity. I appreciate the beautiful sounds that horn line made. But that show bored me to tears.

This. Hooray logic over lame speculation.

uuuuuuuuuh.......what? I know this. I was pointing out how The Cavaliers really don't care about the word band. And as you've pointed out, often use it in joke form. Way to miss the point. Kinda like 1st place, you're just not gettin' it.

Of all the corps out there, The Cavaliers might be the least likely to get upset over the B-word.

None of the above. I vote Cesario. I mean, just look at that suave mofo

Yawn...

Yay memes from the last year and not from half a decade ago!

Honestly I'd upgrade my stereo receiver to something that has HD audio inputs/outputs.

Looks interesting. From the looks of things I'd definitely say it's a show based on "Film Noir." Not any in particular, just the genre and the very specific style it brings. Seems exciting to me.

drat...

Sorry? Oh wait, no...it's a drum corps show, and one source piece. Far greater things to get upset about in the world.

Truth. Although there's nothing better then when an arranger takes "meh" music and turns it into something amazing.

If it's music from the 1955 film, then it's Leonard Rosenman. Not sure how that ties into Juliet, though... *shrug*

I see what you did there..... But, release just a title and you get what you ask for. I said it earlier, at least give us a synopsis and a couple composers. Sure it's never a good idea to list your works as concrete, but nothing says you can't release a few of the more solid choices. Helps get us through the bleak winter.

Hey if you got something better to add, by all means I'd love to hear. I just see the kid every now and then so I didn't get details. He got called back so he must be paying attention fine enough. And oddly enough, Google spell check has it as Shostakovitch as opposed to Shostakovich....odd.

Oh and Pacific Crest, your sound improved last year, but Mahler is out of your league. Especially the 5th...I'd even venture to say the 5th is out of most every DC's league.

Info from the Grapevine on Phantom's music: Music by Shostakovitch and Bartók as well as Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet."
