MarimbasaurusRex Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 1971 SCV "Festive Overture/Procession of the Nobles" B) Saw the title of the thread and immediately thought Procession of the Nobles. Now that horns are in Bb, I'd really like to hear it done in the original key. It's one of only a few great classics that hasn't been done to death. In fact it hasn't been played in decades. Surely some corps out there must have the huevos to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Here's what's so cool about this thread and about DCP in general - This is a thread that's nearly 3 years old and people are STILL posting on it - with their inputs on THEIR favorite openers, based on the time they were involved in drum corps - and the DCP family has several generations here and can differ on favorite songs or favorite openers but still communicate wherever we are in the world! One thing I've found about "openers" is that they're very different from "my day" - it used to be an Off The Line thing to "kickoff" the rest of the show, and nowadays, it seems like "openers" are different in the sense that there's no real "opener" i.e. "get your attention" with the first minute or two - today's openers seem more complex in many ways, might be a good thing, am still trying to understand it all.

My dad hated the change in drum corps when corps no longer had to start in the endzone. OTL was his favorite part of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsBusDriver Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) 1971 SCV "Festive Overture/Procession of the Nobles" B) Whoops Uncle Z. We played "Procession of the Nobles" '68,'69 and then added" Festive Overture" into "Procession" in '70. '71 opener was "Overture to the Globe Playhouse from Henry V". Thanks anyway! "Festive" and "Procession" is my all time favorite opener that I got to march to. We also played those two pieces at the Rose Parade in '04. Talk about bringing back memories. :) Edited September 29, 2006 by MsBusDriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
