Jeff Ream Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I think it was Southwind back in the day who did a whole baseball-themed show on "A League Of Their Own." And although it wasn't used in a sports-theme way, the 2002 Cadets played "The Place Where Dreams Come True" from "Field of Dreams." 94 for Southwind, several baseball-isms in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Many high schools in the DC area have done sports theme shows over the years. Most recently, Briar Woods HS in Virginia did a show this past year based on Boxing (Heavy Rocky theme here). I also remember Oakton High School in Virginia doing a baseball themed show a few years back that included all of the marching members wearing baseball uniforms and the guard using baseball bats instead of rifles. I'm pretty sure my high school band competed against Oakton when they did that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Don-O Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 '91 Cadets had a fun baseball segment in the coming-of-age part of their show (Coplands "Letter fron Home"). Unfotunately I just checked and that show is no longer on the Fan Network.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perc2100 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Someone needs to do a World Cup show. There’s so many things you can do with it: - Most/every member has their own soccer ball. Use that to create a static form (like the Phantom 93 helmet thing). - Play music representing certain countries and their style of play (individual flair of South American teams, slow-build strategy of European teams. - Tons of emotional moments, just like the other great sports shows like Crown 07, Blue Stars 08, Bluecoats 08 (Tough training, Agony of Defeat, Thrill of Victory, etc) - Get the audience to do some orgnanized chants - If the group is big enough, and with an insane budget, maybe there can be some Tifos ... As a soccer football er...Beautiful Game fan, I would love nothing more than to see a legit competitive unit (BOA, DCI, WGI) do a show revolving around the greatest sporting event ever played. The music rep. has endless possibilities, as would visual ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadet93 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Cadets (Garfield '86) segment from On the Waterfront was abstractly about Boxing with the boxing ring outline streamers. Love that piece. Bluecoats used it also in their Boxing show that has already been mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon8 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Lots of Corps over the years have had themes revolving around the time honored, popular sport of Revenge. Not to mention the shows about hunting the most dangerous game of all...MAN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
