On a related note, is Brian Hickman still in the activity?

Btw, conductor Dalia Stasevska and the BBC Phil are releasing a CD called Dalia's Mixtape, which will include an orchestral version of Nautilus by Anna Meredith, which you may remember from Bluecoats 2022. (And they followed up with her tune Bump last summer)

I always liked classical, so I probably would've found much of the classical I've heard in drum corps at some point anyway - though I was certainly introduced to a bunch through drum corps. There are some deep cuts that I likely never would have stumbled upon because they're generally not played by orchestras: Shosty's Ballet Suite #4 or Fire of Eternal Glory, Copland's Organ Symphony, Hanson's symphonies, Barber's Medea, to name a few.
I'd say where my tastes expanded specifically due to drum corps would be in jazz. Stan Kenton (though he's famous), Don Ellis (would not have understood the title tune to Whiplash), Pat Metheny (he'd just be a guy that thinks Kenny G sucks), Chick Corea, and the jazzophonic stuff Xmen was doing in the early-to-mid-90s.

I don't think of Mozart as being that kind of throwaway garbage. A more or less straight arrangement is what I'm talking about. It's a fantastic piece of music, but dismiss it however you want if that's how you have fun.
Let's keep things positive here.

I attended a clinic with Frank Ticheli today, and this tune was rehearsed. The ending is the drum corpsiest thing that ever drum corps'd.

I see that he's not listed on the Regiment site anymore, which means that either they made quick work of updating the webpage or that he wasn't coming back to Rockford in 2024.

Also noticed that they Hired Jason Rob as a program coordinator who was, if Im not mistaken, at Madison Scouts last year.
Revisiting this...

he was with the guard staff from 2005-2010 I believe, and was caption head in 2010.
actually i think he left for a year or two before 2010 for bluecoats
If I remember right, he was on Adam Sage's staff, then left for Bluecoats for 2008, then returned to Regiment in 2009-2010 after Sage's departure. I think he had a design role in 2009 and 2010. He might have been caption head upon his return as well.

Funny how the same people who ragged on Subel are now his champions. I guess when he's with your home corps you can be more supportive.
Have you read any posts in this thread where he is being "championed"?

I just noticed that Rick Subel is listed as a Regiment program consultant. While I wasn't such a fan of his shows at Crown (relative to the previous Crown regime), he's clearly a talented guy. Here's hoping he brings some new ideas to the design team.

A friend who I see in Indy each year goes to BOA shows regularly believes the football program is a reason why there are schools that field phenomenal bands, at least those schools were football in king.
It would be interesting to see how successful the football teams of, say, the BOA finalists are.
For Oklahoma - which had no one competing in Indy this weekend - Tulsa Union has long been a football power, and Broken Arrow has long been mediocre. In less competitive BOA programs, Jenks is a football power, Owasso is solid, and Bixby is an up-and-comer in a lower class than the others.

No need for an announcement when there're no changes.
So Adam Sage will continue in a Regiment design team role while serving as artistic director with the Cavaliers?

Academy announced Michael Weber as brass caption head.

GoFundMe? Really? When the corps has its own donation mechanism?

There is another corps announcing soon.
I've been trying to think of a corps that hasn't been so visible in the offseason. But that may not matter, as Cadets tweet this the day they made their announcement:

I see several reported hires made this off season on all the corps websites , so as of right now , it’s likely just an unconfirmed rumor still that Crown has filled the open position , and Atkinson is the hire that replaces Rick Subel there .
I would not say that it's "likely just an unconfirmed rumor still that Crown has filled the open position." Reid Atkinson lists that he's the program coordinator on his webpage. One could say, I guess, that it's unconfirmed unless Crown states it, but it's not "likely a rumor" given that the person himself states that he has the job.

But you'd think he'd wait on that until Carolina Crown officially announces this on their official Corps website and with his picture and bio there.... no ? So who knows who Crown's Program Coordinator there will be for 2024 after Rick Subel left that position there after this past season. I'm sure this will all be squared away in time, but it is mid October now, and no official word as to who will be heading up their show program there at Carolina Crown for the upcoming season.
My buddy said he "saw" where Atkinson got the job "a couple weeks ago." Not sure where (maybe from Atkinson's webpage), but I guess it's been out there for a bit.

Drum corps needs more Kilar. Around 7:20 to the end has elements that could be used in drum corps.
