LSU GRAD 82 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Anyone have the inside info on what happened last season. That show was terrible - are the same folks responsible for that mess still around? The most disappointing show of the year. They've lost their "Southern Roots" and need to return to it. They may still be from Atlanta but have totally lost the Spirit. 32 counts of "Georgia on my Mind" at the beginning of the show is a must to begin the re-hab........

You do realize that, literally, EVERY single second of their show last year was about the south. Right? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrownBariDad Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Post on SoA's FB page with new 2015 staff. FB phone app wouldn't let me copy the text to paste here.

tesmusic Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Based on that list I have hope for Spirit to move back towards the top 12. Brass wise alone looks solid. JW bringing Myron in to consult will be good as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) It is going to be most interesting hearing what Will Pitts arranges for the field. After aging out as the dead DM for Spartacus he has amassed a wonderful portfolio of original compositions and arrangements that have made a positive contribution to the educational world of music. I await to be impressed. Will he still do the Rondinaro-DeLucia gig for DCI??? Drew Solomonson, also formerly associated with Regiment, made major contributions to the activity in the quiet given his humble personality. Notable for his outstanding work with Capella Winter Guard; the classy and colorful programs he did there were wonderful. Good luck to both and putting some Spirit back in the corps from Georgia.
