DangerZone Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Does anyone know the jobs of each of the corps at tour of champion shows? I heard Bluecoats may do a featured percussion performance/ warm up. I also think that Cadets will possibly play there arrangements of some “pop” music, and maybe some small ensemble stuff. Any word on the other corps, I heard that there may be a question and answer section or some show designer talk with staff? Also does anybody know if this process will happen at the first two Texas shows this coming weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, each corps has to put on some kinda encore after they perform or something like that, what the other groups are doing I don't know, hopefully something good!

roosevelt Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 i hope its nothing like 2004 It suckedddddd It is not.. it is WAY worse. Most of the TOC corps even hate what they are being asked to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrillmanSop06 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Under normal circumstances, if the members didn't buy into it, it would fall flat. However, the performance level of these corps without member buy-in is so high that it would probably go unnoticed by the target audience footing the majority of the bill. The role of the TOC corps is to perpetuate a have/have-not scenario wherein two unrelated factors (administrative/financial strength and competitive finish) are conflated.

I saw some of the script for this stuff. Trust me when I saw that it will be a difficult sell to the corps and even more so to the audience. My guess is it will take one or two shows of it being awkward and falling on it's face before it is scrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
