2000Cadet Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 You keep going after SCVs "weak" musical content in a bunch of posts around here. It's getting old. We know, you think their show was easy. I'll take that kind of easy OVER the mashup of music that was the Cadet's show ANY day of the week. There are so many people on here that go after BD, as an example, for their lack of drill. The response is that there are different types of "hard". SCVs show was difficult enough to show what they wanted to show. I think they could have won with it. So go after the Cadets in the same tongue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTuba Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I would LOVE to see Crown do some of David Diamond's Symphony no. 2 Movement 4. A piece not as well known as some and there could be some potentially FANTASTIC brass moments taken from It. I've only heard vague things about Diamond before now, so at your mentioning this I looked the piece up. WOW. There's fantastic material throughout the entire work that could provide enough to make an absolute home run of a drum corps show. It's like Copland meets Bruckner meets a movie score feeling meets the awesome flair of the 20th and 21st centuries with a whole bunch of other things thrown in. This stuff needs to get put on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff needs to get put on the field. Too true. It's just so enthralling. I believe The Woodlands HS of the BOA circuit used it this past season (2012) for their closer, but that is the only instance I know of it being fielded.

Guizeppe Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Let's see...25 years since SCV did the "unthinkable" and repeated, albeit differently arranged, a near perfect fan favorite show and won it all. Hmmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
