84BDsop Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Our high school band played that piece. Agree that it's definitely not a "cute airplane" composition. Did you play the original in a concert setting or more like the Cadets' field version? They're different (primarily that the part Cadets used as the ballad is actually the opening of the original work. Plus, Cadets' ending is better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 1992 - Star of Indiana FTW (sorry Cadets with your cute airplane show and Cavies with your drumming guard members) To this day, Cadet's '92 is one of my favorite Cadets shows and all around favorite drum corps shows - not to take away from Star '92 which I also like. I love it when Cadets do shows like '92 (and I'll add '91 as well)! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 As a US Air Force veteran, allow me to point out that 92 Cadets was not a "cute airplane show." "To Tame the Perilous Skies" was commissioned by the USAF band, and is a tribute to the American fighter pilot. Gotta defend my branch of the service, y'know. Ooo-rah!

actucker Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I've always heard it ooo-rah. I was Navy before I was Air Force. (And a big JAG and NCIS fan.) Ooo-rah and Hooah are different things. The former is used by the Marines, and the latter the Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
