corps8294 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Wow! I'm shocked! I thought they would have taken Joan and made her Irish to fit their image. I guess they are taking a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Wow! I'm shocked! I thought they would have taken Joan and made her Irish to fit their image. I guess they are taking a chance! Well, Brittany now of France speaks Breton, a Celtic language and cousin of Gaelic... and Brittany even had its own competitive drum and bugle corps which competed in Drum Corps Europe. But St. Joan of Arc from Lorraine, not Brittany, lived well before Brittany became French territory. I hope you are not saying you wish they don't get burnt. That would be a poor pun given St. Joan's martyrdom but would definitely give us a G.E. packed fiery ending with the announced Firebird Suite. Yet that seems more a Regiment finish.

loopin' froot loops Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I enjoyed Pioneer last season and thought they should have placed better than they did. Hopefully, they keep going in the same direction as last year. That was the best Pioneer show I've seen in the last decade or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumcorpsfever Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Nice choice of source music for Pio. Definitely in their niche along with a few heaping spoonfuls of envelope-pushing sounds. Should work well for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should work well for them. Good choices, yes. Envelope pushing, maybe compared to their past repertoire, but not for the activity at large.

Correct - I implied it was envelope pushing for Pio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
