who the? Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Center Grove 2011 undulating rope Seriously- look it up somewhere. When they introduced it at the state finals, everybody (I mean everybody) was in complete awe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) There is a Vegas show by Cirque du Soliel called "KA." Cavaliers borrowed a few of their stilt tricks this year. In that show the center piece is a stage that uses hydraulics to rotate the stage from flat, to vertical, then the performers climb to the top, have chases, from bottom to top. Huge lights alter the looks of the stage. The large moving stage is "out there" and truly the star of the show, but of course it costs millions of dollars. Unless you've seen KA live, there is really no way to describe it. It is incredible, and blows away anything you've ever seen or heard on Broadway. I can see an adaptation of that on the drum corps field. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvDW4DRj7gc Edited November 11, 2011 by wvu80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootofthechord Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Haven't seen funky equipment that is spun that becomes assembled into props (something sort of like Tinker Toys). Sounds vaguely like BD 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navillus WP Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm waiting for Lipizzan Stallions and clown cars before I start going back to DCI shows ("Old crap, old crap ...") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon8 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Might be a few more years before you see (or rather DON'T SEE! Har har har... ) on the field, but it'll happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cop Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Center Grove 2011 undulating rope Seriously- look it up somewhere.
