Okay, just discovered some fun Crossmen trivia.
We all know that if the corps maintains 10th place, it will be their best placing since 2003 when they placed 9th.
I just looked back at those scores and found out that the Crossmen were actually in 10th for semis and jumped to 9th in Finals. The corps they jumped over was the Carolina Crown. Crown had a 0.6 lead in semis.
I remember that show as the most energetic show we did that year. We knew we weren't going to get lower than 10th, so we just threw down.

Bug-stomp-swivel-hips.
I like it.
I always called it spider legs choreo.
-
Anyone know why they chose red for the drum major and not the other way around?
Probably wanted the corps proper to be monochromatic to make CG unis and flags pop out more.
-
It wasn't what I expected. Still looks good and the cross should still be on the side of the aussie. I thought it was going to look more like the CG logo. https://www.facebook.com/CrossmenColorGuard/?fref=ts

The arrangements of the Sleeping Beauty ballet Disney used in the movie are on point. Surprised no one has used the ballet as a source.
-
I was really hoping for a Mariah Carey ballad.
-
Are they playing something from The Revenant OST in 1:56:45?
-
Surprised this has been barely played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0BmpR3yKTw

Check around 17:45 mark. They are thinking about Jacksonville and Lakeland. Still no word about SoFla, but I wouldn't be shocked if they chose Tampa.
-
Has anyone suggested this as a ballad or to be used as a thematic-tie throughout the show?
7th Regiment already did it. I'd like to see it on the field again...or at least in WGI Winds as an entire production.

He wrote 2007 as well.
I thought Marc Sylvester did.
-
Also, I think Crossmen 2008-2009.
Forgot about those.

I've never actually seen any of the drill Darryl has written, but he surely can clean drill! I am kinda hoping for the traditional style drill, but with more of his signature on it. Either way, I'm sure he will make a great contribution to Cadets' legacy.
Crossmen 2002-2004 and I believe he also wrote for BAC, but I'm not sure which year.
-
Did any one say which part/movement of Pines of Rome they would be doing?
Hopefully MVT 2, not played enough.
-
I'm still hoping more venturing into musicals...Chess has some pretty good pieces in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp029j8rWYY

Has a cool late '00s BK vibe

I'd like to see more Imogen Heap especially with how some corps are designing electronic effects. Michael Gandolfi has a multi movement piece called the Garden of Cosmic Speculation. Which has some pretty good melodies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVRC_PWJPm8

They announced the pit is using a Theremin to make cool sound effects.
-
Vanguard is REALLY starting to confuse me. lol
Is all this coming from the A corps? SCVC is also getting new uniforms too.
-
This is just a guess, but presumably the guard is not portraying Beatrice herself but Dante's image of her, since she's not in Hell.
Unless of course, they're changing the story.
Maybe they're doing the video game version of Dante's Inferno?? Or even Orpheus???
I'm still expecting something of a costume change for the end of the show.

I can't wait to see how this show develops. Seems like there's this love story happening between a horn player and guard (Dante + Beatrice).
-
Looks fun! I love the show within a show concept.
-
Crossmen?
I think there's a hint of the uni in their last video...look towards the 3:00 mark. Looks like their uni from last year but bluish-white with blue fringe

While I'm not that big into rehashed shows, I would love to see anyone do this again.
