ibexpercussion Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I know it may not really be do-able, but I would like to see a reprise of the 1992 Crossmen show!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I guess it was '04 when they re-used Puma (the drum feature from '92), and I was over the top excited for it. On the field, though, it kind of lacked... oomph... that the original had. (Well, not to mention the horrible "three camps" stuff inserted into the actual feature.) I think, in order to pull it off, you'd have to come up with a vehicle that had as much of an emotional punch as the original. Might be easier to do a show with different music, but loosely based on it. At this point, if it's Crossmen, it's jazzy and it doesn't involve The Planets, then I'm in.

Mike If we are talking jazzy, then I think a tribute to the old jazz/big band drummers like Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, etc., and do kind of a trading 8's drum battle sort of theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickhaltsforlife Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Do you really think a show like that would please the 2013 judges? I think it would hold up pretty well actually. I think the design was overall better than last years show, and it would hold up well on today's sheets. Visual and music. Execution would have to be WORLDS better visually. And they would have to play quite a bit more in tune. That drum book is so awesome it should hold up competitively forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbones7480 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, that show is a pure classic, probably their most famous, and I don't think it should be messed with, as cool as it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
