MADISON SCOUTS 2015


Recommended Posts

Now in terms of Madison, see above statements. Probably using them to assist in the cleaning process before switching to Kevlar. I would guess.

That is the case

Ok, thanks for the clarification. On one hand, I was kind of excited at the prospect of them going back to

a traditional snare sound, but was worried about the fact that, even when played super clean, mylar heads

can still sound muddy. But I'm glad that it's being used as a teaching tool. I wish I could make it out to see them

live. Might have to wait 'till Finals! :(

By the way, other than the aforementioned 2010 Cavaliers, has there been any other recent Corps using Mylar heads

for part of their shows? I could have sworn that the Bluecoats were doing that in early 2014. Thoughts?

They were used for first tour by Madison in 1998, but that was a while ago.

Love hearing people give that 98 show love. It was a great show and very fun to march, but it often gets forgotten as it was sandwiched between the two epics of 97 Pirates and 99 JCS.

Same for '96...sandwiched between '95 and '97.

Been around the activity for a long time, and '96 is one of my favorite shows from anyone ever. Screaming at the top of my lungs at every show I saw them at that year.

Jon Schipper is, well, a beast of a player.

A lot of music. Some fun stuff in there, I'll always remember watching "Singing in the Rain" while I was younger with my mom, those'll be fun pieces. Should be a fun show!

Agreed. It's a delightful movie, and also one that's beloved both by the general public and the film specialists. Every ten years since 1952, Sight & Sound, the magazine of the British Film Institute, conducts an international poll of critics--and also of directors since 1992. Singin' in the Rain has regularly received a good number of votes, and it made the top ten twice (both time with critics not directors--although, e.g., Francis Ford Coppola picked the film when he was polled in 2012), first in 1982:

1. Citizen Kane (U.S.: Orson Welles 1941)

2. The Rules of the Game (France: Jean Renoir 1939)

3. Seven Samurai (Japan: Akira Kurosawa 1954)

3. Singin' in the Rain (U.S.: Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen 1952)

5. 8 1/2 (Italy: Federico Fellini 1963)

6. Battleship Potemkin (U.S.S.R.: Sergei Eisenstein 1925)

7. L'avventura (Italy: Michelangelo Antonioni 1961)

7. The Magnificent Ambersons (U.S.: Orson Welles 1942)

7. Vertigo (U.S.: Alfred Hitchcock 1958)

10. The General (U.S.: Buster Keaton 1927)

10. The Searchers (U.S.: John Ford 1956)

And again in 2002:

1. Citizen Kane (U.S.: Orson Welles 1941)

2. Vertigo (U.S.: Alfred Hitchcock 1958)

3. The Rules of the Game (France: Jean Renoir 1939)

4. The Godfather & The Godfather Part II (U.S.: Francis Ford Coppola 1972 & 1974)

5. Tokyo Story (Japan: Yasujiro Ozu 1953)

6. 2001: A Space Odyssey (U.S./U.K.: Stanley Kubrick 1968)

7. Battleship Potemkin (U.S.S.R.: Sergei Eisenstein 1925)

7. Sunrise (U.S.: F.W. Murnau 1927)

9. 8 1/2 (Italy: Federico Fellini 1963)

10. Singin' in the Rain (U.S.: Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen 1952)

Despite this rarefied company, I saw the film again last year in the theater with a large crowd who enjoyed themselves thoroughly, laughing all the way through.
