MusicCityDrumCorps Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Music City not only wants to keep toes tapping in 2011 but also would like to leave audiences dancing in the aisles with their production of "Let's Dance!" Even though music and visual styles will vary widely throughout the show, the program will be made up entirely of tunes famous for their association with dance. Opening with I Could Have Danced All Night, the corps' musical selections will include Bandstand Boogie (American Bandstand theme), Waltz of the Flowers, Rain Dance percussion feature, Singin' in the Rain, Jai Ho, Tennessee Waltz, Dancing Machine and Shake a Tail Feather. In addition to the traditional flag, rifle and sabre positions, the thematic nature of the show has dictated the inclusion of several dancer positions within the color guard. So you dancers who may or may not have any marching band experience, please know that Music City has a fun summer planned for you as well. The percussion section will also utilize two new positions in 2011. The percussion battery will add a cymbal line, and the front ensemble will add bass guitar. Based on the fact that the corps has already received well over 300 applications, Music City hopes to field a full-size corps in 2011. The audition camp will be held Dec 4-5.

JamMan Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I love Music City. Nothing but good people playing good music. Glad to see they are still dedicated to providing a fan-friendly show. Can never have too many of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Mosby Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 This year's show was definitely a crowd pleaser. Love the selections for next year and the addition of a cymbal line. Though the jury is still out on the bass guitar addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
