vanguard8687 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I will wait to see if they can live up to the image they want the DCI world to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Taj Bozeman Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Ugh. I saw that EMail just now, and I noticed this part: “That said, we have much work to do regarding design, but you can be sure we will begin work on next year beginning the morning of Aug.10th. What I can say is <b>we do plan to be unique in our approach. We plan to challenge the students, entertain the audience and bring to the field the best version of the Cadets possible. We will draw from the material in such a way that the musical base provides the foundation for a distinctive product that will be remembered</b>, we hope, for years to come.” From the last few years, I have a feeling that could easily mean lots of narration, lame drum voice stuff (what would be better than drum solors? I've got it- let's make drum noises with our mouths!) Personally, I hope they drop the vocals, narration, massive prop/sets, and just do what they've always been great at.

dbc03 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 lame drum voice stuff (what would be better than drum solors? I've got it- let's make drum noises with our mouths!) Because they certainly didn't spend most of the song doing drum solos right before the drum speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing the past few years has really turned me off to the corps I always considered my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we stop assuming and just wait for the show to come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martybucs Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 NO, no, let's make this a pointless argument about religion. Is there any other kind? All in all, as a marketing ploy, I think it is a good idea. In the end, it shows that, maybe the Church made the wrong decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that there was the vocal stuff at the beginning of the drum feature (Which is from the original piece) and the drum speak after the drum solos. All in all there really wasn't much vocal stuff in that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
