Rap, Hip-Hop, or Pop shows


Recommended Posts

Any DCI or WGI shows with Rap, Hip-Hop, or Pop in them?

I've seen a TON of indoor percussion groups that do Rap, Hip-Hop, or pop: not necessarily WGI though (didn't Dartmouth 2014 WGI PSW Gold play some pop stuff?). To be honest, the rights' clearances are expensive and difficult and it's become, I think, much easier to write original music.

How would you classify the Cavies' This is My Rifle segment. Rap?

In high school, we did Don Ellis' Open Wide complete with "taka-taka-DOW"s and all. We got the fans from a local smaller class band screaming for us with it because they were "OMG, THEY RAP IN THEIR SHOW THIS YEAR." Most of us were, "huh? we do?" It just didn't seem like rapping at all to us.

I think I'd be alright with hip hop or pop shows.......as for rap, I hope not...I don't think rap is really music....but some think it is and I don't want to debate the subject.

It's more like a chant, or a cadence (a military one, not a drum cadence).

Oh, OK. We used to call them Jodies.

How have we gone this far and not mentioned "15 Minutes of Fame"? Gaga, dubstep, etc.
