84BDsop Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 haha, i hope our "more cowbell" vocals are loud enough.and nobody will get this, but "Pikachu." They came through well enough at Calabasas....if you get a laugh, it's loud enough. Is there a Pokemon reference in teh show I missed?

Joe SPAM Miller Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Narration is an interesting idea. It's not like we have fluent French, Dutch, German, Cuban Spanish, and English speakers in the pit with little to do during the warm-up period... And there have been additions to the cow-bell rack. It should make a 'splash' And there is a new warm-up. And there are drill staging changes for the end of the show, because it wasn't loud enough. And this is all for our AZ trip, not for Finals. But my personal favorite bit of narration is: "Drum Corps International proudly presents, from Pasadena California, THE VELVET KNIGHTS!"

Oh wait, but we DO...... ^0^ ^0^ ^0^ Oh, and there is the Bottle Dance.....kinda..... However, I like one person's suggestion of someone vocal-wailing through the beginning of the ballad.....hmmmm...... Make sure you all yell "Vanguard" at the appropriate moment. It will make the end of the show louder. Listen for the Cadets' Z-Pull chromatic run. B) Thank you all for your support!!! The kids are having a great time and I hope you see that in them when you see us perform. Best of luck to everyone in the home stretch. It's been a great season!!!! ....and we are already starting to design next years' chaos....... ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasgroh Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 You wouldn't. ...actually, VK used vocalization many times through the years; from "Oh, James" in '85 to singing "We love to fly, and it shows" to lead off the '92 extravaganza...but, to be fair, none of that was "narration" like what's happening nowadays. Now, we also used alot of signage...but everything is of the "one liner" ilk so that doesn't qualify, either. Don't count the latest edition out, though...if it can be bagged on...heh... cg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
