geluf Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) The off-season around here tends to get pretty repetitive. I am not here to break that trend. For this thread assignment, I ask: Pick a corps (or two or three!) and tell us what *you* would change for next year. Approach this from the competitive mindset. Is the corps weak in some area that needs shoring up? Does the instructional staff need a shake-up? Design team/philosophy need a shot in the arm? What's going to get the corps you pick to that next level? Or, conversely, what's going to keep them from losing ground? My example: How I would win The Blue Devils another gold medal: - Make sure a meteor doesn't strike the earth before next season, necessitating a cancellation of finals Edited September 17, 2014 by geluf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valvedtpt Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have a show idea (not really a change though) There is a movie coming out next year called "Scouts vs. Zombies" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1727776/?ref_=nv_sr_1 I'd like to see Madison play with this theme.

ibexpercussion Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Crossmen need to retain members from this year. Try to limit/eliminate the more talented members going to a "better" corps (placement-wise). Keep building on the talent they are developing. If I remember correctly they had somewhere around 100 new/rookie members this past season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I would..... Have Blue Devils re-do the whole 1976 show SCV re-do Phantom of The Opera show Cadets to do a tribute to Star of Indiana Boston to do a tribute to Argonne Rebels Spirit of Atlanta to do a tribute to Spirit of Atlanta and Jim Ott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Cadets to a tribute to a corps they consistently beat: one that shared very similar design tendencies and trends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim K Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 ah, Perc, then there was 1991... Very true, where Star did beat Cadets with a drill designed by George Zingali who put Cadets in the early and mid 80's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornTeacher Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My heart always goes with the Troopers. Since I won't pretend to have the level of expertise contained on the staff which they currently employ, I will trust them to do the best job for the Corps which they have always done. I think they act and perform sincerely...AND with the best interests of the Corps in mind. They are the professionals...I am not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
