The Pilgrims (radical Puritans) settled in Plymouth. The Puritans settled in Salem and Boston. The Puritans were a group of English Reformed Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries who sought to "purify" the Church of England from its "Catholic" practices, maintaining that the Church of England was only partially reformed. Interesting the stark contrast in shows between the Cadets versus Boston this year...a little too profound if you ask me...

For the sake of musical balance and contrast which could enhance the theatrical theme, a piece based on a major key would be of benefit. It's a time tested movie technique. Some highs would make the lows even lower and more profound. Ugh seriously? This isn't Carolina Crown man. Sometimes dissonance and minor keys just fit a show theme a lot better. Just because some corps feel the need to ram a major key chord in almost every movement they do to get some cheers does not mean other corps need to sacrifice their theme to do so as well. Like you said, this is a theatrical theme. It's theatre on the football field. They should play music that plays the part of the theme. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had a good horn line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard, the entire music book is pretty solid. Great brass, great percussion, great front ensemble. No worries about music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
