weirdscience Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I recently watched the musical "Chess in Concert" by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Throughout the entire show I couldn't help but think how great the music would translate to the field. Has anyone else seen this incredibly original musical?

It's a great book and I've thought it could yield an incredible drum corps show ever since I first heard it in '88.

Iplaytimpani Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 It's an incredible musical. I think there's a lot of great music in it that can be used, but I do not think one can do a "Chess The Musical" show. It's too obscure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like One Night In Bangkok, and BD did that for their opener in 1997. The rest feels too ABBA for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkcarlson Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Corpsreps lists Delta Brigade as doing "Chess" as their show in 1999. They were in rehearsal with it in 2001 when they folded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplattSCV Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Blue Devils played One Night In Bangkok in 97 and Minnesota Brass is playing it this season. I don't think so about Devils. Maybe they played One Night in Morocco, but Casa Blanca and Bangkok don't sound like a match to me http://www.bluedevils.org/tty/index.php?ye...&programID= I always saw Bangkok in the description and never thought it was stuff from Chess. Someone give me a timestamp so I can check it out. Edited April 19, 2010 by jplattSCV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn something new every day. I had NO idea that is what that was. I just assumed it was incidental music from Casa Blanca. I just googled a bit and sure enough. That's from Chess. I stand corrected. Or more appropriately I Sit Slack Jaw Corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
