The Blue Knights 2014 Official Show Announcement


Recommended Posts

I have had the opportunity to hear the opener a few times this year....very nice. Opens peacefully.....but finishes with a lot of power. Lows and Mid range have a great presence with the highs providing a nice blend.

After seeing the hints, I wonder if they're doing an homage to their '80s uniform.

While I like the early 90s Uniform best,

1994

I am reminded of the last time they wore that uniform in their WONDERFUL 1990 production that should have made finals (IMHO).

They played Chichester Psalms and Mass (Bernstein, Brass arranger Jim Prime, JR & Percussion Arranger Ralph Hardimon, George Zingali Visual. WOW!)

In 1990, after narrowly missing finals in with a heartbreaking drop from 12th place in Quarterfinals to a 13th place finish in Semifinals, the corps would sing I Go On, a selection from that year's production featuring Bernstein's Mass. I Go On, a song about continuing forward despite tough times and obstacles, would later become the official corps song, and is sung by the corps before every performance that the Blue Knights have.

Sequins??? Yikes! What decade are we in?

From your signature line, we're in the '10s, specifically this is 2014. :poke:

Do people not use sequins anymore? I mean, I never EVER used them, but I see them in stores for sale. They're so shinny that you can't help but notice them as you walk by. :tounge2:
