Bandguy Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 For those of us who remember retreats - I'm trying to remember particular songs done by corps at retreat. I know there was a time when a corps would do a snippet of their show as a retreat piece. However, from that came some of (IMO) the most emotional moments I ever had watching drum corps: To hear Madison play You'll Never Walk Alone To hear Bluecoats play Autumn Leaves To hear Spirit play Georgia Sigh.... What were the signature retreat songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccorpsfan Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 SCV played Send in the Clowns, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Our corps would play an excerpt from our show, but "Russian Christmas Music" became the corps song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 SCV played Send in the Clowns, I think. We usually played whatever our closer was ... and at one time that was "Clowns" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Great show, by the way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendBattery Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 To hear Spirit play Georgia Absolutely correct, we all loved playing it also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousMe Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 My favorites were to hear Spirit play "Georgia" and to hear Madison sing "Never Walk Alone" Peace, CuriousMe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
