cfirwin3 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Even as late as 1999: Crossmen and SCV doing Blue Shades (both pretty faithful arrangements but Crossmen did a bit more of it).Oh yeah... I had forgotten about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all the way up through the beginning part of the "Summer" movement before it crashed. Edited June 12, 2016 by Cadevilina Crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadevilina Crown Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I'll go ahead and give my 2 cents on what I saw and heard from the Periscope. I agree with what BlueStainGlass said. Music sounds SO much fun to play. No matter how the Xmen do this season, I can see myself listening to the music a lot when the audio CDs come out. Quite catchy, and a great take on the Four Seasons! Visually, what happened? The brass and percussion MMs do a nice job execution-wise, but the drill and overall visual design just isn't on the same level as the music side. I have no idea about props... Maybe they aren't ready yet? Colorguard doesn't really add anything to the visual package besides color. Maybe that will change when I see it all in context, but it feels as if they're just background dancers. Also, the fact that this seasons-themed show is called "Continuum" kinda bugs me. When I heard that title, I thought we would be seeing something along the lines of SCV 2006. Not that it makes the show bad, but you get the idea. It's early in the season, so I will keep an open mind to all the possibilities and growth for this corps. All the best, Crossmen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to swing by the Blossom athletic center around 8:30 and they weren't there. (I thought it was where they always were during spring training.)

mfrontz Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Interestingly, both Madison ('83-83) and (Garfield) Cadets (1978) played "Strawberry Soup." But everyone hypes Madison memories. (pun intended.) Ditto with "Pieces of Dreams" (Garfield) Cadets('76,'77,'78, '81) and Madison (1979 only) but Madison gets the memories. Don't forget 'Ice Castles.'
