looks way cool!........but have thought all day on this question: What is a "rhythmical dreamer" to which they mention? ummm, yeah.

Just think this is interesting regarding the source material. https://newrepublic.com/article/139816/breaking-elgars-enigma Also, The President's Own United States Marine Band performed a new orchestration of Enigma [by MSgt Donald Patterson] under the baton of Col. Michael Colburn three years ago. If it was good enough for him/them-then I'd say it is worthy of a musician's attention. Will search for a recording of this.

Hey, if Dawson can sneak in his Regiment '03 Harmonic Journey........ Agree on Red as a favorite. Still contemplating my list.....it's kinda a combination of three already posted.

go to the aforementioned twitter drums down under account & look

Thought it best, as we all are aware that even though BD, that you brought up has won it all 5 times since'09, they've only earned the Ott twice during those eight years.

Let me rephrase then. To sound like any Jim Ott winner.

I think many corps would love to sound like the Jim Ott winner!!!

drop waist half cape, two tone sleeves, are the guantlets faded black to red? http://colts.org/uniforms.html

Chopin Prelude Op. 28 No. 5 "Raindrop"

It is OAK-ay to o-PINE on such things, but maybe we should BRANCH out on which illus-TREE-ous corps will utilize new TREE-ments with their uniforms. Some will be TREE-mendous, the best in the coun-tree! They will SPRUCE up their appearance for 2017, and will be quite in-tree-guing!. Who will divulge their design first? It's quite a mys-Tree! KNOT much more I can say....but I will probably keep a LOG of the changes.

Also, Colts '82 uniform would have negatively impacted their Short jacket eras. Also, early spiked helmet era of Glassmen would have negatively impacted their top ten finalist years. Does your question specifically ask for ANY previous year uniform, or just one year previous? My SCV answer follows the latter, your Bluecoats example cites any previous, so I'm unclear. Good question either way!

Yep. '87 SCV uniform would have negatively impacted '88 IMO

He actually did the Marching arrangement prior IMO to the Concert Band version. The earliest years of Arrangers Publishing Company on albums included this piece I believe http://www.arrpubco.com/apc_media_player/playerwindow.php?item=M491 He actually did the marching arrangement prior to the Concert Band version IMO.

Newman is the most nominated living composer to have never won an Oscar.

When I saw [with my wife] them perform this in 2001 at ISU, I took the opportunity to yell "FABER!!" at one moment. My wife didn't get the pun and punched my arm. Miss Southwind of old.wishing them best now.

I'd love to hear the modern corps play the entire '83 book.

Another vote from me for Trittico. Also: "Praise Jerusalem"-Alfred Reed "Armenian Dances"-Alfred Reed "Variations on a Medieval Tune"-Dello Joio "Sonoron Desert Holiday"-Ron Nelson "Partita for Band"-Gregson "Hymnsong of Philip Bliss"-Holsinger "Suite for Jazz Orchestra"-Mike Pendowski Music from "Empire of the Sun"-Williams

Are you opening the harmonica vs. melodica debate??? With the current cone of silence, one has to wonder what the arrangers are thinking as far as wind instrumentation, no?

Amazing work, and I agree with your suggestion!

Yes, conductors should remove headwear when directing musical ensembles. Not only is this traditionally part of the craft, I believe many in the ensemble benefit from the delivery of emotion and artistic interpretation via facial expressions.

Found the program. The corps Director Al DiCroce did the arranging, and on the Brass staff that year was Doug Thrower.. Trivia question from that year: How much prize money was paid to the Finals Champion? [it was in the program article by Don Pesceone]

Man, they played!! Someone should calculate how much time that hornline played compared to a show these days. I was there in '89, and it is still great fun. Looking for my program now. Thx for the reminder!

Do you believe public institutions/entities get a "both eyes closed" blind eye versus non-public entities? btw, what parts of DCI? I would think the whole would be under consideration versus a part. I wish all who are entitled to their property to remain control as well as compensation.

My thoughts: I have witnessed continuing rights infringement by instructors from the show choir activity and was baffled as to how public school administrations knowing those acts turned a blind eye. Violations will continue until claims are solicited.
