kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Now into the Dropkick Murphys section of the show. This is my favorite part. I'd like to see Pioneer do a full show of their music. It would be a departure from their normal selections while still staying true to their heritage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 And, to finish and leave the field, the corps plays their signature tune, the Gary Owen March. The lead characters of the show share one more dance as the corps leaves the field, almost like a curtain call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 There's a guy in a Crossmen jacket who is Italian sitting near me. Just asked a kid if he'd like to get his picture taken with an Italian guy. Who wouldn't? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Next on the field are the Crossmen from San Antonio, Texas. Their 2012 program is entitled "FRAGILE" and consists of: Earth Song by Jackson, Michael Wailers by McFerrin, Bobby PD7 by Shankar, Anoushka Here Comes the Flood by Gabriel, Peter Finding and Believing by Metheny, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I agree, but isn't Dropkick mostly Scottish? Well, for a bunch of Boston guys... They played Brigadoon in 2000, so it's not like they'd be exploring totally new territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I absolutely LOVE that the drum majors wear the old school uniforms, complete with capes. All we need is Bones, but I doubt he'd show up at a show like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Corps is getting ready to lie down in their world map set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I had never heard Earth Song before Crossmen played it. That's what I get for not being a Michael Jackson fan. Lush baritone solo to start the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I agree, but isn't Dropkick mostly Scottish? Well, for a bunch of Boston guys... Nope. Irish and Bostonian. They talk about it a bit on their Live from Fenway album. It would be awesome to see someone do a full show of their music, or the Pogues. I think it would make an awesome show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
