Robert Kirby Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Cincinnati Tradition is proud to announce the 2013 show titled “Breakdown.” The links are provided as examples and are in no way the actual arrangement. This year’s program delves into the darker psyche of mankind, tracing the uncontrollable spiral of emotions we face as we struggle to make sense of our place in this world. At times we are light-hearted and content with life; but we are all just a snapping point away from losing our grasp on reality, drowning in the abyss of disillusion. This distorts our hopes and dreams into confused obsession, which will ultimately lead to an untimely demise. The opening segment of the 2013 program is "Joy", featuring Joseph Curiale's “Joy” from Awakening. Part 2 of the show is "Disillusion" – represented by the tune “Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy” as performed by Barbra Streisand & Judy Garland. Just when you think things are going well, there’s a break from reality. A voice in your head makes you second guess whether you’re actually joyful or if that joy is just an illusion. Part 3 of the show is "Confusion" – represented by “Resistance” from Muse. Though you resist, the darkness begins to overwhelm, the light slips away, what is happening... I don’t want this... Part 4 of the show is "Depression" illustrated by the song “Creep” by Radiohead. Now stuck in the throes of depression hopelessness sets in... Part 5 of the show and the closer, "Self Destruction/Total Breakdown" is represented by “Welcome to the Masquerade” by Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02BRnI3iUO4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayre Kulp Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I like this a lot. Though I was always hoping to see someone do Get Happy with the dark treatment done in an episode of House MD. ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Pretty ballsy concept ... maybe too ballsy for Class A. As long as the members buy into it, though, I could be wrong. Either way, best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Pretty ballsy concept ... maybe too ballsy for Class A. As long as the members buy into it, though, I could be wrong. Either way, best of luck. I can say that returning vets and new members are very into the show. We have already played through the opener and I thought it sounded better than last year's opener for sure. We are pulling out the big guns this year. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairbear Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 If anyone from the tri-state area of Southwest Ohio, Kentucky and southeast Indiana is sitting on the fence or looking for a place to march, check this corps out! They have members commuting from Columbus, Lexington and Louisville. Carpooling is available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairbear Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Todays rehearsal featured a larger drumline and the hornline now has 5 contras. The corps needs a couple more sopranos, baritones and one mellophone to fill the line. They are looking for qualified mallet players, as well. Visit the corps website to sign up, if you want a spot in a growing DCA Class A corps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 sounds like some role portrayal will be needed, at least from the guard to convey the theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
