Guardguy89 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Suncoast 1985 for me still remains the gold standard. It was extremely catchy, memorable and didn't feel like it was all original - there was something so familiar with the music- a real masterpiece.

martin84 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I really enjoyed Bocook's "Liquid" in Cadets 2005. Oh, and Suncoast Sound 1985. Suncoast 1985!!!!!!!! Love it. Always have and always will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Cavies in 2001 "based" their pieces on Danza de los Duendes and Bizarro; I can't remember offhand what the inspiration for the ballad was. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) There is so little understanding of the basics of copyright, even among professionals. These pieces are "original" to the authors, as are all compositions. Those authors (the gifted Mr. Thrower, for example) are entitled to all the rights of the copyright holder, including the right to collect a fee for synchronization. These fees are negotiable.

siletzspey Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I was a drum corp junkie from 1978-88, and only recently started to plug back in by buying the 2008-2010 championship DVDs. I have to say Frank Sullivan's 2009 (and 2008) work with the Blue Stars really impressed me. --SiletzSpey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie1223 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Now that you mention it, it does sound a lot like Equus. Because it has repeating 8th notes?? There is really no other similarity. It's definetly an original piece and not an arrangement of equus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 It's not exactly a secret that Liquid in 2005 was based on Whitacre's Equus. Just as their closer was based on Medea's Dance of Vengeance. They're still original works, though. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Hey DCP: With all the discussion of synch rights, blanked out DVDs and Blu-Rays, I thought I'd pose a question regarding the best ORIGINAL work done for drum corps. For example, in Canton, Ohio, the Bluecoats are blessed to have an awesome talent in Doug Thrower. Consider the original work he's done along with Tom Rarick. "Ritual" from 2012 is one of best works from this past season. Pulling info from corpsreps, check out the original works that they've done. 2000 Bluecoats Intro Thrower, Doug; 2000 Bluecoats Finale Thrower, Doug; 2003 Bluecoats Original Thrower, Doug; 2010 Bluecoats Metropolis Thrower, Doug; Rarick, Tom; 2012 Bluecoats Ritual Thrower, Doug; Rarick, Tom What other original compositions are worthy of mention? I'd love to hear your opinions. Speaking about Doug Thrower, here's a great pod cast with Doug. Great insight into Doug's arranging, insight, and a little humor "Throw'n" in! http://www.marchingr...sody-in-bloooo/ Edited November 17, 2012 by drumcorpsfever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
