DrumManTx Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Genesis just released the trailer for their show "Epic". Looks like a show about government controlled society rising up and starting a new world. Looks kinda disturbing, but in the really intense and cool way. I think these guys are going to have a great show this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalTones2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) I honestly don't know how I feel about this. A topic this controversial has the potential to alienate fans and even members who don't agree with it. It would be one thing if this was just about revolting in general or about an ancient event, but the video seems to allude to a specific current issue that a lot of people take very seriously. What I'm trying to say is that I don't think political agendas have a place in drum corps shows. That being said, I'm interested to see how this will turn out and hopefully I'm wrong.

Barifonium Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 If anyone will survive a new world order it will be Texas! ha Dang this is creepy. Felt like I was watching a movie trailer. Good luck Genesis! I hope you have a massive hornline and performance energy out the wazoo to pull this off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 It kinda reminds of George Orwell's book 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wort Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Maybe they will do a D&B corps version of Rush's 2112? That might be really cool, but tough to pull off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77TENOR Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Seems like a rather involved concept to portray in a 9-minute Open Class show...with no dialogue. Sure has an exciting edge to the presentation. Just not sure I'm gonna know what's going on without some sort of narrative in advance.
