Quad Aces Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Corps members where emailed today talking about their April camp this weekend. The email stated that members would see the uniform, know the show design, and the show title. Whether or not the public will get to know this information before, after, or when the members do is unknown. Members might be sworn to secrecy.Is it even possible that members who have been going to several camps by now don't know what the show design is?? How can you rehearse for that long and not know what the show is??I guess I get it, but is this really where we're at? Isn't something like this WAAAAAY beyond overkill?

Nothing more frustrating than getting full runs on a show you know nothing about. Good thing we will finally get to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsband Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Celebrating their 40th anniversary season, Crossmen are pleased to present their 2014 production: Alma Gitana – A Gypsy Soul Known as wanderers, Gypsies travel the countryside in the shadows of normal society. Carrying all they own in covered wagons, and pitching tents wherever they stop, the road is their home and a way of life. Exploring a diverse pallete of world music, the 2014 production includes: Bulgaria – Peter Erskine, Erghen Diado – Bulgarian Women’s Choir, Emmanuel – Michel Colombier, Zambra – Ojos de Brujo, Habanera –Bizet/East Village Opera Company, and concludes with a classic treatment of a Crossmen favorite, Caravan.“Throughout our 40-year history, Crossmen have had several different homes, mostly in Pennsylvania and now in Texas. The product of a successful drum corps merger, there is no question the Crossmen history closely parallels a gypsy-like existence,” said Fred Morrison, Executive Director. Crossmen bring the mystery of the Gypsy Soul to life – setting up camp, experiencing and celebrating the beauty of the land, all before departing on the path to a destination unknown. “This production showcases a rich variety of ethnic timbres and textures, characteristic of central European heritage. It has it all – the passionate highs, the brooding lows, and the energy of everyday Gypsy life,” said Program Coordinator, Ed Devlin. “Crossmen are bringing their high energy caravan to cities across the country in 2014 – you won’t want to miss it!” http://www.crossmen.org/2014showpressrelease Edited April 27, 2014 by corpsband 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
