Season 21 registration thread


Galen

Recommended Posts

It's that time again- time to start dusting off your fantasy corps chops and getting ready for Season 21!

If you plan to participate in the upcoming season, which starts on January 17, 2014, please reply to this thread with your corps name(s),, director name (from the fantasy site), division(s), hometowns and other pertinent information you want to share (ie show title, musical selections, uniform pictures, etc).

IE:

Corps name: Crash Test Dummies
Director: Galen

Division: World Class

Hometown: The Proving Grounds

If you didn't follow the off-season rules conference, you're definitely in for a treat this season as, for the first time ever, we will be using historical scoring data from 3 decades' worth of scores! This is your chance to select from historical corps like Star of Indiana, Freelancers, Velvet Knights and more alongside with the modern contenders.

My goal is to be able to open the fantasy site for registration by Saturday at the latest, and I will post an update as soon as it is up and running. In the meantime, you can check out the season calendar which was released earlier today, and be sure to check back on Friday for a preview of this season's major events:

Corps name: The Knights
Director: Gary L Currier (gcurrier)

Division: World Class

Hometown: Portland, ME

Pictures of Winter The Knights and Marching Knights

Symphony 11 The Winter by Joachim Raff

Winter from Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi

Winter Symphony by Paul Nordoff

Symphony 1 in G minor, Winter Daydreams by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Pictures of Winter will paint portraits and postcards of our favorite Maine season. Two shows created to be brought together off the field with The Knights Drum Corps (DCPI) and The Marching Knights Marching Band (FMA) playing together in a 20 minute concert, each show can also stand alone as individual field shows, only the beginning and end of which are the same. Each equally as powerful and representative of the cold bitter winters in New England, we show the raw power of a Nor'easter and the simple beauty of the first snow. All three performances are sure to please crowds across the country this winter season!

Corps name: Les Blanc Chevalier
Director: Gary L Currier (gcurrier)

Division: Open Class

Hometown: Montreal, QC

Quebecois

Mon Pays by Gilles Vigneault

Concerto de Quebec by Andre Mathieu

Âme, Corps et Desir by Karen Young

Tryptyque by Pierre Mercure

Canadiana Suite by Oscar Peterson (ballad to the east)

Hymn to Freedom by Oscar Peterson

Rhapsodie Romantique by Andre Mathieu

Les Blanc Chevalier is proud to present Quebecois, a journey through our musical heritage. From pop to Montreal’s jazz to our classical composers we are proud to represent Quebec’s history, pride and people.

Corps name: Cape Cod Regiment
Director: Gary L Currier (gcurrier)

Division: Class A

Hometown: Provincetown/Boston, MA

Hidden

The Wreckers Overture by Dame Ethel Mary Smyth

An American Symphony by Benjamin Britten/Dance Symphony by Aaron Copland

Ganymed by Franz Schubert/Christmas from Concerto Grosso by Arcangelo Corelli

Sinfonia #1 by Michael Tippett/

Agnus Dei by Samuel Barber/Gloria by Francis Poulenc

Hidden takes music from famous out or struggling to come out composers through history and illustrates the tale of a youth who grows to accept himself for who he is. The guard will be heavily influenced by modern dance in interpreting the tail and we will give nod to many inspirational gay leaders who have fought for equality.

To celebrate his upcoming 450th birthday, all three Forward Dynamics corps will be performing shows inspired by the plays of William Shakespeare. Full show announcements (with repertoire) coming up in a few weeks, but I can tell you the three show titles/concepts are as follows...

CLASS A - XOTHYME: "Much Ado About Nothing" re-envisioned as taking place in 1960s/1970s Haight-Ashbury district ("hippie central") of San Francisco.

OPEN CLASS - THE MARAUDERS: "MacBeth" re-envisioned as taking place in late 19th century Tsarist Russia.

WORLD CLASS - POLARIS REGIMENT: "Titus Andronicus" re-envisioned as taking place in an alternate-universe version of 1930s fascist Italy (similar but not identical to Julie Taymor's concept for the 1999 film "Titus")
