Russellrks Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Think about how many corps put an accelerando in their drum solo in 83 and 84 after BD did it with "Paradox." Float actually started writing accelerandos into his drum solos as far back as '79 Spirit of Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd83 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Three words --- Children of Sanchez A BUNCH of corps played that tune and Birdland in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 As far as the guard toss or exchange, guards like Phantom Regiment, Cavaliers and 27th Lancers made it look effortlessly. It was often imitated by other groups over the years and made several appearances in the indoor guard world. Like History, I do see it being implemented in future shows but of course with a new twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malletphreak Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 82 and 83.....84 was "Karn Evil 9"....but yeah....I forgot to mention that one!And the ultimate "copycat"....82 Freelancers and Spirit....both playing "You are the Sunshine of my Life." If you listen to Freelancer's 82 show closely during the Sop solo in in "You are the Sunshine of my life" you can hear a snip of "You are my Sunshine" just some useless drum corps trivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forpetessake Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I kind of tend to come down on the side of coincidence with this topic too. Back in 1983 The Knights and I think ( if memory serves) The Crossmen, both opened with The Overature to Russlan and Ludmilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geneseo put it in the mallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the two arrangements were drastically different they were adapted from the same Singers Unlimited version of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which corps played this song in 1981 for their production number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytimp Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Float actually started writing accelerandos into his drum solos as far back as '79 Spirit of Atlanta. Indeed he did, and 'Geodesic Dances' is a great drum solo, but other corps didn't start doing them until after 'Paradox.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
