tommytimp Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 The two best years for Boston had to be '89 and '90. They were punchy, powerful, aggressive, straight on attitude without pansy swagger, and those shows were just plain awesome! Didn't Pansy Swagger open for the Gin Blossoms back in 1994? Or was it Candlebox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Wouldn't it be interesting if Boston's take on Les Mis is any think like RCC's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rd&10 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Smart move Boston. Easy theme to representand music that is emotional and melodic. Should be a step up from last year. And there is NOTHING WRONG with pandering to the audience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusayan Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Les Mis mixed with 1812.... sounds good to me. Not sure what 1812 music has to do with Revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scout Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Not sure what 1812 music has to do with Revolution. And Les Miz is the student revolution of 1832, not the French Revolution of 1789. It's classified as a revolution, but it's not "THE French Revolution." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classified as a revolution, but it's not "THE French Revolution." Indeed. One of the reasons the boulevards of Paris are so wide is because the idealistic young students would "revolt" at the drop of a hat and throw tables, chairs, doors, etc, into the streets (which is why that "barricade" set in the stage show is so cool). City fathers started building the bouls wider to beat the students at their own game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBLUE Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Wouldn't it be interesting if Boston's take on Les Mis is any think like RCC's? omg...if Boston sings as much as RCC did (watch the video) the Crusaders will need to prepare for a REVOLUTION, cuz DCI fans (especially DCP members :) ) will not be happy Edited November 25, 2010 by GREENBLUE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yeah, I can do without all that singing and narrating in a drum corps show. The Cadets show with the Queen Bertha of hearts, white rabbit, etc always sent me to the restroom. I hope that was the rock bottom of the singing and narrating mumbo-jumbo.
