tesmusic Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 How about the look from the early to mid-'80s? White top, red tie, green pants, and white bucks. Or the variant; green top, red tie, white pants, and white bucks. Those were the best Scouts uniforms. There was a version of that in 2006, I hope we don't see that again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 No Latin or Jazz or anything remotely recognizable to anybody except maybe College Music Majors. As much as there is that I don't like about current "Marching Band On Steroids" I could live with all the nonsense if the Music was there. It Aint! Just a bunch of off the wall musical phrases and passages. Nothing I recognize and can get into. DCI used to be primarily about the Music and "In Your Face" loud G Bugles blasting out songs that we all liked. Drill was secondary. Somebody, anybody, please take a leap of faith and bring back "Old School" music. Keep all your modern theatrical BS if you simply can't function without it, but bring back recognizable music to the field.................. Well Cadets did that and got dumped to 4th so....

Screamer Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 So if they play Overture,Heaven,Gethsemane and superstar it'd be the same show as my first marching band season but in DCI form xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well Cadets did that and got dumped to 4th so.... And I will enjoy that show plus Crown for years to come over anything else from 2015 so..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcityscout Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The current look is just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastknight Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I like it. "Heaven on Their Minds" was a strong opener (and, IMO, the only part from the musical I really enjoy). A whole show based around that, and the basic idea of Judas, has a ton of musical/emotional potential. I'll start drinking the Green/Red/Gold Kool-Aid. How can you not love "Gethsemane"?

lastknight Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 JUDAS makes a lot of sense since the original story (JCS) is really told from Judas' point of view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) JUDAS makes a lot of sense since the original story (JCS) is really told from Judas' point of view. I beg to differ with this. Weber and Rice were resident artists at the college I attended when I was there in the early 70's because one of the faculty members saw them in a small coffee house type setting in England, got into a discussion, and eventually brought them to USA where he made contact for them with a relative who worked one of NY's big labels. W&R give a different sense than your summary. Edited September 28, 2015 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
