charlie1223 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think I'm hearing 'surgical' in the opener. Maybe not the aggressive style of opener peeps are used to but as the visual cleans up the music will make more sense I'm thinking. The horn line pushes the pedal down later in the show so it doesn't bother me much. I think you'll love this show by the end of the season. I can say pretty confidently that cadets won't win first this Saturday. The show is just WAY too hard. But that isn't a negative thing because their shows just take more time to to clean, just like Last year's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos001 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 A Christmas themed drum corps show is uncharted territory? No, not really. I like what I see from Cadets so far though (minus the "Oh yea" samples in the show which do not sound good)... Bridgemen 1985: Christmas in July * Come on Baby Dance with Me * Imagination Phantom Regiment 1987 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAs3HsGPdw8 How appropriate that this video surfaced this year... I'm holding my tongue until I see the whole show. I'm personally not a big fan of Christmas music to begin with. Time shall tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbrassboy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Not sayin' it won't be a well-executed show, but imho a Christmas show in the summer will just feel weird. Sitting in a hot stadium, warm winds blowing, a crowd of various religions...??? We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I like a lot of what i see...it's the Jingle bells part that loses me right now. But it's early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I like a lot of what i see...it's the Jingle bells part that loses me right now. But it's early Not sure it loses me. But only because the show doesn't quite have me to lose just yet. This show needs to make me a believer, and right now, I'm of the mind that Santa doesn't exist.

The Christmas melodies are simple, the music arranged for cadets is NOT. Edited June 12, 2012 by charlie1223 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Man after last years show I thought they would start playing interesting stuff. Now it feels like that part of the year I avoid at all costs. Hot dog Time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
