Popular Post skywhopper Posted August 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm thinking: Cavaliers - Lumberjack City, keeping with the masculine show themes, and featuring the music of and Ice-T.Blue Devils - a sequel to re:Rite of Spring, Wet Hot American Summer, based on the 2001 film. They act out the entire movie in overlapping segments with as many as eight scenes going on on the field at one time. The funniest parts are performed backfield from the side 1 end zone with no amplification. Blue Knights - WeSaidNoEndDidntWe - The corps comes on the field and continues playing First Circle for 12 and a half minutes. Carolina Crown - Easy as Pi ($1 to MikeD in the Pioneer thread) - In a repeat of 2010's embarrassingly revealing show title choice, Crown's staff thinks they have the winning formula all figured out, but turns out reading the digits of pi throughout the show was not as catchy as counting to eight. And the rotating sphere drill just doesn't pop off the field like they hoped. Cadets - From Shiloh to Gettysburg - Attempting to tie into their Pennsylvania home base with a local theme while repairing relationships with their Southern fanbase, the Cadets build a show around the much-requested soundtrack to Glory. But the judges are confused when the corps, having decided to eschew the "implements of war" in their guard equipment choices, re-enact Pickett's Charge using giant commas and lightning bolts. And the Southern appeal strategy fails spectacularly at the Southeastern Regional when the finale, depicting the burning of Atlanta, starts a riot in the Georgia Dome, and the rampaging crowd spreads into the staging tunnel and all of BD's props for the year (bunk beds on wheels, one for each pair of MMs) are destroyed. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted August 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2013 *I already mentioned this in the Garage Sale thread, but whatever* Blue Devils decide to go back to their winning ways ... one year back. The corps uses their entire rainy-day budget to purchase the following items: Carolina Crown's purple pants uniforms Santa Clara Vanguard's backfield sets of a French town Bluecoats' bleachers Bluecoats' balloons Cavaliers' hooded robes Cavaliers' gear-in-an-eye-in-a-triangle props Blue Knights' giant blue ball Madison Scouts' helicopter props Spirit of Atlanta's dance barres Spirit of Atlanta's piano Blue Stars' voodoo props Crossmen's protest signs Mandarins' interrogation set Academy's Pianoman (the carbon-based product, not the show) Jersey Surf's psychedelic uniform sleeves Jersey Surf's excellent Aretha Franklin impersonator Gold's martial artists Using these items, they design a Dada-themed show to out-Dada their 2012 Dada-themed show. On the field from Concord, California, presenting their 2014 show ... Son of Cabaret Voltaire: Who's Your Dada? ... The Blue Devils. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTLonghorn15 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 They're going to have a hard time finding an ending. In 2014, Blue Knights and Carolina Crown announce the merging of the corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
