Lincoln Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Whether as a marching member or a fan, have you ever made a suggestion to a corps that they eventually implemented - whether it be music or show design related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Brace Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I know for a fact...the whole concept for the 1995 Cavies "Planets" show was concieved by Michael Boo while reclining on his luxury yacht sailing the greater Door County, Wisconsin area. The "Rituals" show a year later was developed during a South Milwaukee Fish Fry after his third Lienenkugel. I've told Michael to switch to the New Glarus stuff...but he doesn't listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownStarr Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I have a couple from 2010. The guitar solo at the end of Danzón was originally a piano solo, but I was hanging out in the gym after rehearsal at move-ins with one of our drum majors, playing through my parts for him, and he said "hey, wouldn't that sound cool if it were a guitar?". We tried it out, thought it sounded good, played it for our arranger the next day, and he approved. Same year, we were playing Danzón in ensemble, and during the fast part of it I put a glissando in a space just for fun, and our arranger called down from the box "I like that! That's in". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldskl3rings Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I was talking to Wayne after a show in 93 or 94. I hadn’t been around the activity since the late 70s. I asked Wayne if BD had ever done any Don Ellis. He replied, “No”. I said, “Are you kidding! Don Ellis would be perfect for you guys!!!” Lo and behold the next year BD did Don Ellis. So did Madison, but I had nothing to do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yes I did!! It was actually recently... I suggested to The Cavaliers that they should have the DM conduct upside down during championships... and they did! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
