Madison Scouts 2014 -- Playing the Music of Stan Kenton and Don Ellis


Recommended Posts

So what's this I read in another post about the Scouts not participating in any of the TOC shows?

Is this yet another Stewart era move to buck the establishment? On one hand, I could see how they

don't like the idea of that group, but at the same time, what good would it do to fight against them?

Isn't it better to "fight" from within instead of being an outsider? Also, if this is a political move, won't

it hurt them politically and competitively?

expect more info soon

So…this show is going to be awesome. Just saying. Oh, and in case there are haters already that haven't heard the corps yet, I'm basing my thoughts on true samples of the program. Not just hearsay.

Was seeing on facebook where Scouts wrapped up their January camp this past weekend. The post gave a glimpse at some of the tunes we'll all get to hear....Fanfare for the New, Fugue and Concerto to end all Concertos. Excited to see how all this comes together and what other pieces they will put on the field.

" Fanfare for the New " ... really looking forward to heaing this piece from Madison Scouts this season.

Some snippets from Argonne Rebels and Guardsmen version from BITD, for those wanting to get a winter's glimpse of it, and if perhaps not familiar that much with it, or had forgotten the musical piece :

Awsome to many of us in the stands!!! But if the arrangement of the charts are true to Kenton and Ellis jazz form, as opposed to the current trend for the judges to reward hacking up obscure modern musical hair balls somewhat based on the source material and driven by ‘it is all about the visual’, the Scouts will once again find themselves struggling to be competitive for the top twelve let alone punch into the top five; sad to say.

I like BD '87 opener version myself... No video of it though except for the Fan Network (http://dci.thefannetwork.org/index.cfm?ensemble_id=5899)

Hey good point, and good find. I had forgotten that Blue Devils opened with this in '87. I just played it, and as one would surmise, with their brass line, it sounds awsome.
