Spandy Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Heck if playing music that folks recognize is chancy then we must be the most risk-takingest corps in DCA based on last year's selections. And we are continuing that tradition this coming season. Not sure if our show announcement has been made public here on DCP. I know its posted on our website. www.gulfcoastsound.org Thanks! I added it to the list. There is also a thread about it here in the announcements forum. Edited October 22, 2007 by Spandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two songs will make me buy the mini corps or what ever recording you guys are on.Pere Gunn! My Favorite. Ha Ha! Glad you like the idea. I've actually had it mostly done (except the Goodwin piece) since last summer. I didn't want to announce it until I found out if it was likely that we could PLAY it. But, we got through the whole thing at rehearsal last night, and it appears to be something this group can handle (with some work, of course). I have been wanting to do "The Jetsons" since I saw Future Corps do it back in (I think) the late 80's. We've been playing pretty much the Future Corps arrangement (plus some improv) with Brass-O-Mania! for the last few years. I've taken a part of the BOM! arrangement to use in this new CB! show. And we used the "Batman Theme" last year. It was intended to be a warm-up, but it turned out to be a hit for us. Part of THAT arrangement is thrown in here too.

gcsbaribc Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 GREAT SONGS, and my favorite band of all time "Molly Hatchet"!!!!!!!!!!I can't wait to hear this show !!!! Been flirtin with disaster, Yall know what I mean. And the way we run our lives, It makes no sense to me. I dont know about yourself or, What you want to be - yeah. When we gamble with our time, We choose our destiny. Now this is a drum corps anthem if there ever was one. Can't believe it hasn't been done before. Haven't seen the charts yet, but given the quality of last year it should be rockin' to say the least. Should be some meaty brass stuff too... YUM. Rock ON!!
