BRASSO Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 "When they used to medal ( over a decade ago ) they were not THIS secretive, imo" pre-Fiedler age, no? Yes.. it would appear. Although to be fair to SCV, lots of Corps protect their offseason stuff as if it was a matter of life or death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleran Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 In honor of Miley Cyrus, I think this thread should be renamed "Wrecking Ball." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastblue Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 So, JW is wrong. Hmmmm ... I don't think so. Edit: We are talking about design -- not music, arranging, brass/perc/guard instruction. Those you've listed certainly contribute once the design is created, but they don't create it. IMHO You stated Spirit has "a new design team." Well, unless show design has changed drastically in the last 6 months and I am out of the loop, a design team usually consists of the following: Program Coordinator/Head Designer/Program Director (what ever title various corps choose to use) Visual director/Guard Caption head (sometimes both, sometimes this is the same person) Drill writer (sometimes also the overall visual director/coordinator) Brass arranger Front Enemble arranger These people all work together to bring an unified package together. Some contribute more than others. The vision can come largely from one, or from all in a very organic way, growing with each design call/meeting. In some years, one person may direct the vision more than others due to their particular strengths. Arrangers are certainly designers, just as are the people that write the guard work, dance/body moves, etc. Anyone who creates is a designer, all contributing in a way that allows the show to be one of depth, coordination, etc. Instructors are those that teach, clean what has been designed. There are times where instructors may create/design a flag phrase, or horn body move, etc. as need and expertise are called opon at various times throughout the season. The person that is most "hands on" is usually the program coordinator. According to Spirit's off season anouncements, this is the exact same person that created last year's debacle. If corps no longer design as I have stated, my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anstig Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'll stick with my assessment from yesterday, that the vast majority of this season's DCI marchers aren't reaching for their downloaded tunes of Miley Cyrus on their devices while on tour this summer, or when they get home. Some might be. But the vast majority won't be, imo. Thats my sense of it, anyway. But who knows. I think it's certainly very possible if not likely that most dci marchers are going to be jamming to Miley Cyrus or at least party rocking to LMFAO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutchtow Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Fiedler believes there is something powerful about coming out at your first competition and performing something nobody has heard or seen at all. As much as I love little teases, I'm inclined to agree with him. At least with the backstage stuff we get to see what they are doing a bit Source: Fiedler himself when I auditioned for SCV for the 2014 season Edited June 6, 2015 by Clutchtow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I predict that Miley Cyrus will soon take a stage bow...midst a polite round of applause from her admiring DCP fans...exit right.... and the stage curtain will come down, and with her final exit, a HUGE burst of applause will be heard throughout the DCP Kingdom, now that the Pop Queen has departed us.
