  5. Part III of our 2013 show Maroon, Black, and Gold will be "Bacchanale" (from Samson and Delilah) by Camille Saint-Saens. A “bacchanale” is a musical composition depicting a wild celebration, or bacchanal, displayed here with flashes of Gold. This builds into the fast paced finale, where we see the return of Maroon and Black, as all the colors of the corps come together to close the show.

    More info will be available at our Open House, which will be next Saturday the 24th. The announcement thread can be found here.

    For more about the corps, visit our website at www.enfieldcenturions.org

  6. The Centurions would like to announce Part II of our 2013 show Maroon, Black, and Gold: “Clair de Lune,” (from Suite Bergamasque) by Claude Debussy. Meaning "moonlight," it is a lush ballad with a smooth bass line and rich harmonies. Along with dark shades from the guard, the 2013 Centurions will portray the moonlit night, and our second color, Black.

    Info about our final movement, Gold, coming soon...

    To find out more about the corps and our show, make plans to attend our Open House on November 24th!

    Check out our Open House thread here for more info.

  7. The Centurions are pleased to announce our 2013 Program:

    Maroon, Black, and Gold

    The show will feature music that reflects our corps colors. The first movement, "Maroon," will be based on selections from Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky.

    Part II, "Black" is a lush ballad from Suite Bergamasque, “Clair de Lune” (which means “moonlight”). A smooth bass line and rich harmonies, along with shades of Black, help portray the night.

    Part III, "Gold," is represented by the lively “Bacchanale” from the opera Samson and Delilah. A “bacchanale” is a musical composition depicting a wild celebration, or bacchanal, displayed here with flashes of Gold. This builds into the fast paced finale, where we see the return of Maroon and Black, as all the colors of the corps come together to close the show.

    Our next rehearsal will be January 5th. For the full schedule, visit our website at www.enfieldcenturions.org

  8. The Centurions Drum and Bugle Corps will be holding our 2013 Open House/ New Member Day on Saturday, November 24, from 1-5pm at the Sacred Heart Parish Center, 1103 Springfield St., Feeding Hills, MA. ALL are welcome...come meet the staff, administration, and current members and find out more about the corps and our 2013 show!

    You can view our Facebook invite page to RSVP, visit our website www.enfieldcenturions.org or email our director at nyaworski@sbcglobal.net for more information.

  9. Music selections include:

    “Earth Song” by Michael Jackson

    “Wailers/PD7” Interweaving of Bobby McFerrin’s "Wailers" and Anoushka Shankar’s "PD7"

    “Here Comes the Flood” Peter Gabriel

    “Finding and Believing” Pat Metheny

    Sounds really good too! Wow, good job so far all corps!

    When I saw the show name "Fragile," I got excited, cause I thought it would be the music of Yes...oh well. This might be good too, especially if it is along the lines of the Songs for the Planet Earth trilogy.

  10. The Bushwackers are doing Holsinger's "American Faces" this year for the closer. A fantastic and challenging piece! The ending superimposes Holsinger's melodies along with Simple Gifts (made famous by Copland in Appalachian Spring) - in other words, a Cadets fan's dream :)

    Yes, great piece and only a handful of corps have played it before. It would work great for the Cadets, but definitely something I can see Bush playing...looking forward to hearing it this summer!

  11. The Centurions Drum and Bugle Corps has rehearsal this weekend.....

  12. I was watching Cadets 1992 and 93 recently (two of my favorite Cadets shows of all time) and it got me to thinking, what if they had decided to complete the "trilogy" in 1994 with another Holsinger show, instead of West Side Story? What music should they have played? My pick would have been Sinfonia Voci. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
