dcsnare93 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 You're entitled to your opinion, TB, but no one really cares anymore about it. Even you can't spoil this exciting news with your meh attitude. If you can't find something nice to say, why say anything at all? Go rain on someone else's parade... Really? Personally, I'm interested in what both camps have to say (e.g. those who are thrilled with the news, and those who aren't). After all, this is a discussion forum. Instead of telling us what __we all think and care about__, why not accept the fact that peoples opinions will differ from your own, and that doesn't necessarily mean they are trying to rain on anyone's parade. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what new treatment Madison gives these pieces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGarrett Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Make it three. I'm not that excited to hear Gershwin yet again. oh well. you can't please everyone... Stoked about Slaughter. Pretty unexcited about Rhapsody. Could go one of two ways... a little like "Firebird Suite" or doing symphony classics again and again one might say. Signature sounds... corps history... popular demand (except by a few)... If done right, could be a winner... AGAIN! If not, welllllllllll....

There's a history with the poster. I believe I clearly said he's entitled to his opinion... it's OK. Stay calm. But don't take MY ability to express MY opinion away because I jumped on someone - it is, after all, a discussion forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebot Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I've never really liked "Rhapsody" when it's been performed on a football field. Not by Scouts, not by Phantom. As I said before, though, I'm really excited to see how "Slaughter" turns out. And who knows, if there's anyone whose arrangements could turn me on to a tune, it's Jim Prime and Thom Hannum.

msesq Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I believe that Richard Rodgers wrote another song that we alums are pretty passionate about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually say I'm excited to see Madison in 2010, more so than I was the past few years. Though, not too thrilled about Rhapsody -- but interested in hearing what they decide to do with it.

sarnia sam Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Called this one back on Oct. 8 in the thread - Madison Scouts announce drum staff. I hope Slaughter is starting the show. Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cop Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 In the right hands to structure the program... These songs can be amazing AMAZING PROGRAM for all the right reasons. Rhapsody is a strong musical selection that lends itself to LOUD> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flervinuveling Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 OK....I'm surprised how unimpressed I am about this announcement. I was expecting more I guess.Oh well, it will probably sound better than I can imagine right now. It just seems to me the Gershwin is bleh for me. Sorry. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
