msesq Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 As I look forward to standing with my brothers, and hopefully the rest of the audience, in Indy to sing Never Walk during Madison's show, I got to wondering. Has the drum major of a DCI corps ever turned around to direct the audience? Probably a good question for my friend, Steve Vickers. DM Sean Hadley has the privilege of doing so this year, and I expect this to be a very special moment today in Mpls, and in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad for him that he has this iconic opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure one of the drum majors from Magic conducted to the audience in 1997. It was during the "Little Liza Jane" opener. I know he faced the audience and interacted with the crowd. I'm not positive if if he conducted or not. Z 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoCervantes II Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Unrelated to conducting, but can someone who happens to have it on hand post the story of the corps singing YNWA to the girl in the wheelchair? Do I remember correctly that this was part of how it became the corps song? So touching as I remember. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z If my memory serves me correct the drum major just turned around and encouraged the audience to sing along with Li'l Liz Jane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinwiz Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'm pretty sure Academy is going to be doing it earlier in the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
