kickhaltsforlife Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I don't think a 2000's staff would try to rewrite a 92 staff's show. It's not happening, nor should it ever happen. Oh I agree. I was just saying how I think the show would hold up well with today's judges and sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barigirl78 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 The past five or six years, there have been several attempts to reprise old Crossmen music. It rarely has worked. I like the direction the 2012 show displayed. You could consider the inclusion of a little Metheny as consistent with the old corps image without trying to repeat it. I just like that the corps is playing music that is accessible to people without PHD's in music theory, which includes me. And I like that it is entertaining and viscerally exciting.

TxBigfoot Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) There is no pat metheny this year. I got hold of the music list and am looking fwd to see how chuck puts it together. Edited January 18, 2013 by TxBigfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrangerx Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Interesting. Rewinding 1992... always seems to come up. But what rarely comes up is that if Phantom and SCV hadn't been having historically low competitive success that year, the Crossmen would have been 8th. Again. I loved that performance that night. It's a nice memory. It was a fun night. As I've said multiple times here, it's now the members of today who get to create their own standards, their own memories and their own legends. Always a process... 2012 was neither the beginning nor the end. It was a good step forward by an organization that has class, energy, direction and purpose. enjoy :music:/>/> Looking back has a tendency to make the forward motion a little less focused. Looking forward to the next set of challenges! Chuck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
