iheartponies Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I am simply not sure I get this year's corps. My only impression is from the Fan Network instance, but they have some pretty serious visual issues. Drill seems pretty 'eh' from up top and low on effect, not to mention filthy. So many segmented ideas and the ensmble work is dirty and ineffective. Hopefully their rehearsal days here involve some rewrites and some cleaning. You can say it's June, but when you look at the corps they want to compare themselves to, the drill and quality therein aren't really working. They play loud, but I have heard on multiple boards there are some control issues. Overall, I get the idea of the prayer cycle, but it doesn't really come through fully. It's like saying your show is about math and putting pluses and minuses on the flags and calling it a day. Just lacks a little depth within the idea. Crosses on the field and some genuflecting does not a prayer cycle make. Which I guess would actually be okay, except they wrote this really lengthy libretto that I didn't see on the field. But it is early season and they have time to add some depth. I just wonder if there is time to address that and the technical issues. At any rate, we'll see how this compares in the coming weeks.

iheartponies Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 IE all of this??? The GLASSMEN Drum & Bugle Corps is very proud to present their 2010 program: ' The Prayer Cycle'. The GLASSMEN Drum & Bugle Corps is very proud to present their 2010 program: 'The Prayer Cycle'. Inspired by the musical works of Jonathan Elias, Phillip Glass, James Michael Dooley, Ron Nelson and John Barry, GLASSMEN designers Sal Salas, Don Hill, Pete Weber, Rob Ferguson and Joe Heininger have created a program that works to evoke a thought provoking exploration of the defining moments of a spiritual journey. Each act seeks to explore the emotions one encounters on the path towards understanding faith through prayer. Utilizing abstract visual imagery, music, and color we invite you to join us on this path of spiritual discovery. ACT 1 - MERCY Scene 1 - Reverence Scene 2 - Ritual Scene 3 - Conflict We begin in a state of profound awe, respect and love, our hearts full of Mercy and wonder. The daily rituals of service and devotion give way to questions, a struggle for an understanding of concepts beyond our grasp, and mercy for beliefs which conflict with our own. ACT 2 - HOPE As inner conflict subsides, a glimmer of Hope illuminates a path towards spiritual enlightenment. It is at these times we often feel most vulnerable and alone. Through the strength and compassion of community we work to build a stronger foundation of spiritual resolve. ACT 3 - FAITH Scene 1 - Doubt Scene 2 - Devotion Faith becomes the ultimate cornerstone of our journey. By conquering our fears and doubts we conclude that faith in ourselves, our fellow men and women, and a power beyond our reach provides sure-footing on the path to understanding.

IntheMood Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yes indeed, the show is a reflection of their hard work on the practice field. Keep up the hard work that all the Current Glassmen family Members started in Nov. Practice makes perfect. the Glassmen proved last night that they will just not hand over the 10th spot with out a hell'va fight. You can keep on knocking but you can't come in just yet.

EricNewmanEd Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Does anyone know where the Glassmen are rehearsing tomorrow? My friend is marching mello there, and I'd like to be able to see the corps before the show tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
