Plankton Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm breathlessly awaiting their 2014 production of "Incessant Electronic Feedback". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Surprised on checking CorpsReps to find that the first corps to perform selections from Les Mis was Blue Stars in 1987. I did not know that. Not a whole Les Mis show, though; nor was Boston Crusaders the following year. Sunrisers placed 6th with a score of 90.4 playing Les Mis in 1996, I see. Les CadetsDeux bested both that score and placement in their debut year, so I guess they should be aiming to do better than '89 Cadets? That was 5th and 95.6, which is the second-highest score for a 5th place corps in DCI (only recently surpassed by SCV's "Ballet for Martha"). In DCA, no 5th place corps, and only one 4th place corps (I think) has ever scored that well. A high bar. (Or as Jeff says, they and we should be wary of comparisons with the past.) I think this is a great choice for C2. As to the bar being high....1989 was a long time ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle B Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Andy, I hope you are correct. My first thought was here we go again with the C2 bashing. Well, seeing how it's only one of the more popular songs in the musical, I'd have to agree with Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think this is a great choice for C2. As to the bar being high....1989 was a long time ago. but it is one of the most beloved 5th place shows of all time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 but it is one of the most beloved 5th place shows of all time which is nothing but a positive for them. the melodies will be there (which is what most people actually remember from that show). c2 will move up this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
