corpsband Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 "Here come the unicorns..."I don't always like his arrangements (though this show is growing on me musically), but he is a trip! Very amusing guy, and very brave to put this stuff out there like this. I think its awesome to hear this kind of stuff (especially from the music side). Guidry's writing does grow on you and I find myself listening to Xmen more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NR_Ohiobando Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Only because I haven't heard anyone mention it at all; I love the Rainforest/Puma lick in the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any special features/background stories? Besides lots of shots of your kid My son played 2001, 2003-2004 (age-out). Lot of good memories, but the one non-show moment for me was in Philadelphia 2001, after the competition. Spirit and Crossmen lined up, alternated in full uniform, around the flag pole behind University of Penn stadium. They played Georgia and Russian Christmas together. The sound between the buildings and stadium was fantastic, powerful beyond description. It was my first exposure to this tradition and it really affected me. Your breath was simply taken away. Everyone within ear shot on the street was at a complete stop (including traffic), standing with mouths open in awe, and cheering uncontrollably when they finished. The placements from that night were completely set aside at that moment. I never have, or never will, experience a feeling like the first time I heard them do this. I know the two corps have done this at DCI East and I plan to be there to watch them again this year. I think both corps (including parents) would enjoy having this on their respective videos every year. It just brings out the brotherhood of these two corps more than words can describe.

Kyle B Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 That would have had to have been 2001-2002 since that is when DCI East was in Philly, and we didn't start playing Russian Christmas music until 2003. I remember playing just Georgia in 2002. One of my favorite Crossmen memories ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite Crossmen memories ever. Thanks for the correction Kyle. You're correct. The Russian Christmas and Georgia happened after they moved DCI East back to Allentown, just across the street behind the new backfield concrete wall, near the buses. Just as impressive, but not quite the acoustics as in Philly. It sucks to get old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
