But mellophones take up the slack with JD Shaw arrangements...

Spartans have always had a strong bashline...

Heard this tune at a wind ensemble concert today. Great Colombian tune for the Scouts.

How did it take until AD 2024 for Scott Boerma to be inducted?

Another year and no @Jurassic Lancer?!? RIGGED!

There is still a corps director, tour manager, and assistant tour manager. Her role is corps manager, whatever that means. If the order of roles is any indication, the corps manager role is the fourth behind the three listed above.

If you're looking for a longer, less popular tune with Scheherezade vibes, check out the ballet Legend of Love by Arif Melikov. There are some great motifs in there, especially some of the adagios.

Rewatched 99 last night. A much-maligned show but still such a banger. I'd have put it in third.

The first section of This I Believe is about personal choice, and the early season text was waaaay more self-religion heavy. I can only assume that is rooted in whatever GH heard in that Hershey Ramada Inn ballroom.

A DCP/RAMD user criticized GH way back in 2002 for adding the "under god" portion in the show. We all saw what it was - a ploy to get fans to cheer after the ballad. But the user took it a step further, saying that "GH does not believe in god, he's a <X>." I can't remember what the X was, but it might have been one of the self religions like Landmark. And I assume the Landmark teachings are the basis for the 2007 show. This is straying off the topic of Cadets + Bankruptcy, but I guess it's more evidence of the bizarre personality that went of the rails in so many ways.

I believe that was in reference to how much DCI has

I hate to see them go, but I'm glad they were here. A few favorites... 1993, In the Spring - My first year to watch DCI on PBS, and still my favorite Cadets brass arrangements. 2000, We are the Future - They slowed it down and still won. 1997, Celebration - The best of their brass band era. 1995, An American Quintet - Early props. 1992, To Tame the Perilous Skies - Cadets and Holsinger. Very 1990s heavy. I really liked 2022 and 2023, and I thought they were on a great path, but nothing in the last couple decades holds up to the 90s in my mind.

Haven't other corps faced bankruptcy and returned? Didn't Boston Crusaders file for bankruptcy back when?
