Fastone Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Ok ................ I've been reading this post mostly aboutnarration. But narration has already been used in a DCA show. Now, I'm going to need some help here ............. in 75, in the Providence, RI show the Bucs used narration. I was there, I heard it. What they did was play Firebird for the closer then they started playing these jazz riffs slowly building while the narrator does his thing. When the narrator is finished they open up & lets the crowd have it. What I need help with is this...................... they didn't use the narration at DCA finals. Was the Providence show the only time they did this, or was it at other shows? I don't remember hearing this at other shows. Was Providence the only show? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!! b**bs b**bs b**bs I do seem to remember something like that happening before the Maynard Ferguson reprise at the end of their show but, I remember it from 1973. All those years kinda run together now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickk3 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) Hmmmm I don't think you would want to do that if I were you. Just saying...ya know? I would be VERY violent if ya know what I mean and there would be no more DCP postings by you. However, I am sure you were trying to be funny but, if you were, your sense of humor is lacking. Ah now.. easy easy , man. My intent was not to offend but to diffuse. I've never met you or your wife, which made it kinda funny to me (in a vaudeville-kind-of-way), but had no intention of compromising anyone's integrity. However, it's apparent I did offend - please accept my sincere apologies. Edited September 24, 2007 by Mickk3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquiring minds want to know!!!!! b**bs b**bs b**bs Yes, the song was "Blue Birdland" and the corps came off the front sideline onto the warming track where possible. Sort of a tribute to "the boss" long before Springsteen, Maynard was "the Boss". Yes, penalties. No, at DCA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Windish Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yeah, my memory of that past Buccaneer season (was it '75?) is the narration was ONLY during trooping of the stands. For the young'uns, trooping refers to exiting the field after competition, turning towards the grandstand, then passing in revue down the track, right to left. Usually with headgear off, sweated performers, all enjoying appreciative crowd response, sometimes clapped in cadence. A beautiful moment that happened 5-6 times per event. Unfortunately, trooping the stands, and other traditional behaviors, has been cast off at most events. In the big picture, creating events less worth the price of admission. Hard to figure.

jbabymusic Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I also remember a Statesmen show, 99, in Allentown finals that had Dave Bruni on the field with a mic'd megaphone during Chorus Line starting the show. It was very effective and completely worked for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
