there are four main sections of the show, so a couple tunes are wrapped together in arrangements that are seriously cool, if I do say so myself. it's a very intense, aggressive show and we love it!

I can confirm that there will, in fact, be a fourth movement to "X". For what it's worth

Update for Empire;

We have taken out Sing Sang Sung.

We're considering adding that one in!

I long for the days when corps didn't have to have a "theme." How about "We're going to play some music for you we think you folks will enjoy!" and leave it at that.

... or we coud keep the themes and just have a good music accompany them. Personally, I like themes... they are more creative.

On the flip side, corps could pick a show with no theme AND bad music... then it would be a show that didn't make sense with bad music.

So, any updates on what the Bushwackers are doing? I am kinda curious...

So, any updates on what the Bushwackers are doing? I am kinda curious...

From their website:

"Scenes from a Psychotic Circus" is going to be a drum corps adventure the likes of which have never been seen! Join us as our twisted show comes to town...enter the big top and become mesmerized by our death defying stunts and amazing acrobatic feats! Then, follow us backstage as we explore the "freak show," and life behind the scenes. Finally, you'll have no choice but to give in and become part of the greatest, darkest, and most psychotic show on the planet...

I can't find more info on there right now, but I wanna say it's all original music. I think by Key Poulan? Please please please correct me if i'm wrong, I don't want to spread false information
