Pete Freedman Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They Shall Have Music! What drives WC? Probably all - the Walter Brennans who only hear the notes and everything else is noise, the Joel McCreas who don't really know what they're up against but plow through with no regard for "can't", the parent volunteers who block the staircase and serve in the cook truck just to hear Johnny play and Suzi sing (not sure why all those protective mothers and other guests' ticket prices didn't keep the instrument supplier at bay in this example, but I digress). But certainly, above all, it takes the genetic and learned talent of those angelic faces of children looking lovingly up at our activity's Jasha Heifetz. Maybe a more poignant question to clarify the OP's question is: Who is our activity's Heifetz? I suppose each corps needs its own Heifetz. (I haven't seen the film, but that's based on the WP page).

garfield Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I suppose each corps needs its own Heifetz. (I haven't seen the film, but that's based on the WP page). But it is too close to the flame to ask if the activity has a Heifetz? Could it be DCI? Edited February 9, 2015 by garfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps here are some from the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7GttwLodlE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5ZuERwCyMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVQTBiCZY4I (skip to about the 3 minute mark) And of course ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=durOxs3MZ7E (also about the 3 minute mark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBP5vtz72NA Also, wasn't there a dean of music who did the broadcast one year? I can't remember who or when, but I remember him saying of Phantom "Well, I hope they win!" or some such. Not a dean of journalism, apparently. Does it ring a bell or am I just ringing my own bell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdcoast Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I really enjoy the nice read we have had for the last month. Looking forward to the next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdcoast Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well to harken back to a thought, I will say it is the competitive inertia that drives it. Smiles and a lot of hugs are just an added bonus! imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that gentleman was from Indiana University, and he also said that he hoped the kids would want to seek out the source music after being exposed to the work in this activity.
