Tyler C. Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 VK's 2008 program is entitled The Inferno and features:Toccata and Fugue in D minor Highway to Hell Thriller Strangers in the Night La Habenera (from Carmen) Dies Irae Symphonie Fantastique Always Look on the Bright Side of Life Wow, that's my kind of show. Yet another reason why I need a Fan Network subscription..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 OK, we just had somebody shot down on the field, then carried to his grave, complete with New Orleans funeral procession and service. Now we appear to have reached the first circle of Hell, complete with zombies. There's no way I'm going to be able to describe all of this, even with how fast I type. I will say this, though...VK Tubas rule for the 2nd straight year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The corps opened with Tocatta and Fugue, then segued into Verdi's Requiem. Now they're playing backfield except for the tubas, who have the melody. Corps just turned front and let loose. I have no idea what they're playing and it doesn't matter because it's still awesome. They just made fun of Phantom's first murder: DIE!!!! (in slow motion, no less). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Snares just played a wicked solo, complete with foot work, although not as "absurd" as Blue Devil's drumline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thriller! Thriller Time!!! Tubas are totally rocking on this bass line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Too bad Vincent Price is dead. He'd appreciate this show. Come to think of it, this is the kind of show where he'd come back from the dead, just so he could overact again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 OK, y'all are just going to have to deal with the fact that I'm going to pretty much worship the VK tuba section throughout this entire performance. Oh, wow. Horn line is doing the Thriller dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Tubas are now playing a Carmen-style bass line to Strangers in the Night. Yep, there's La Habenera. Interesting mix, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
