Being innovative is working within certain limits...brass and percussion. Not adding electronics or saxophones. That's just stoopid.

Oh Yeah! Way to go, Mike. Answering questions. Getting stuff done! You're the man!

I think this tension can be cured with some psychedelic drugs

Frank Ticheli!!!!

No

Would you ban psychedelic drugs at these sessions as well?

No

So how about Frank? What a good guy

No. There are none to be found on this site. Believe me, I know.

ok

Yes, there should be alcohol and plenty of it.

I've never seen a female outside the kitchen or bedroom. I'm just kidding...we can be officers too!

RULES OF OFFICER JENNY'S HOPS BLOG THREAD 1. Don't discuss Columbine 2. Don't discuss narration 3. If you have already posted in this thread, you must eat oatmeal tomorrow morning for breakfast Thanks -OJ HA!

Yes

Sorry, my bad Shouldn't have trusted DCP to not be dumb When will I learn my lesson?

Update from Hopkins: "Working and Working Eric and I spent from 10 pm -- 12:30 am tonight trying to get the flow of this show. The key here is getting some kind of logical flow ... and yet, I feel the need to twist the formula on it's nose. Start slow .. end slow? and what of the thematic line cross the entire piece ... and the guard? Apollo ... is quite the movement .... there are endings to be added, and there is this theme we keep working on! Kind of interesting ... we work at three levels and yet, at the end of the day, what we most want is a show the members can go to town with. We have a theme ... we have the reality of the music, the meter, and the actual reality of the composition .... and then we have our interpretaion and where we take that. Lots of time listening ... I did a clinic today in Franklin NJ and I listened from PA to Franklin and back. I need to work as hard as I can Wednesday ... Thursday I need to leave at 5 am for Laguardia ... have a plane to catch to Indy for a DCI meeting. And back Friday. And on we go."

I am the starter of this topic. If you start a narration debate, I will ask that it be closed promptly.

No. We are not turning this into a narration debate.

There are so many interesting things you could have discussed. Structure of the show...where to place the ballad, as Hopkins mentions. What excerpts of AE would you like to hear? How would they fit in with the rest of the show? What other Ticheli pieces would compliment this musical selection well? But no, you argued like idiots about Columbine, etc.

Wow... I regret starting this topic.

I heard it from him too
