tubabeard42 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Wasn't the show about the Bourne trilogy?? It had music from Bourne and The Matrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchcoffeeman Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) 1981 Bridgemen. In those days, the timing judge fired a starter's pistol to signify the beginning of judging, and two pistol shots at 11:30 to alert the field judges that their judging period had ended. That year, Bridgmen played selections from "West Side Story." Precisely at 11:30, the corps was supposed to reach the point in the WSS storyline where one of the Sharks shoots Tony. So, when the timing worked right, it went like this: Big, fast, busy musical rumble. Lots of action. High volume. The Shark takes aim at Tony Music impact: Bow! Complete corps cutoff. A beat of silence. The Shark fires his gun. Judge's pistol: Bang! Bang! It was tricky to march 11+ minutes of a show in perfect time to line up the climax of the rumble with the judge's pistol. On the '81 finals recording, the corps cutoff comes at 11:20, and the pistol at 11:26 (indicating the rcording itself might be a hair on the fast side). Still, it was a cool idea: Judging element as entertainment. Edited September 13, 2012 by 2muchcoffeeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dckid80 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 1981 Crossmen sops line of just off the 50 and play each others valves for a really nice lick. Cadets copied it a couple of years back. 1980 North Star during Gerry Noonan's solo in Ole the whole corps stops, goes to parade rest and puts their heads and equipment down. Nice bit of dramatic staging. 1978 Bridgemen what I would have given to have been one of the baris backing up Jim Brady during Harlem Nocturne.

skajerk Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Not quite "unnoticed" but I loved the "Mr. Moto" idea in SCV's '06 Moto Perpetuo show. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Not quite "unnoticed" but I loved the "Mr. Moto" idea in SCV's '06 Moto Perpetuo show. Do you remember the story that he got injured and couldn't march the drill, so the corps made lemons out of lemonade and got the buzz going by having him out in the souvie areas and parking lot prior to the corps' performance. That was a genius move. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of watching from the sidelines, he redefined the sidelines. Everyone knew about Mr. Moto. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
