2000Cadet Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Let's get this topic back on track. What kind of show would you like to see from them next year? I'd love to hear them do some Alfred Reed. His Symphony for Brass and Percussion hasn't been done since Crossmen 1995, a show which almost no one talks about. Hard to find a good recording but here's an idea. Would work pretty easily with a story show. Modern American orchestral. Angry and fast stuff. Mike Oh wow I remember this. I can imagine some heavy mellophone runs being thrown into the mix along with a unison hornline feature. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Exactly. I know Cadets have kind of zigged and zagged through genres lately, but for me they've always been about celebrating (mostly) American music in all its forms. Bernstein has always been good to them because it's inherently kind of counter to Copland-esque "pretty" stuff. I'd love to see them take that ball and run with it, kind of like Vanguard did in the early 2000's. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachDrumCorps Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I just want a show people will actually get behind and not root against, like many did this year... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barigirl78 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! Ahhhh, a show based on Alice in Wonderland. Interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 A idea for the 2017 Cadets: "Everest" "Nacht/Sonnenaufgang" (from Eine Alpensinfonie) by Richard Strauss "Transcendent Journey" by Rossano Galante (If you listen to this on YouTube, listen on 1.25 speed) "Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium)" by Ola Gjeilo "Volcano" (from Symphony No. 50 "Mount St. Helens") by Alan Hovhaness "The Frozen Cathedral" by John Mackey All pieces that have rarely or never been performed in DCI, and I believe can really flow together nicely. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Cadets or Crown + Maslanka = instant hit. I know of a high school using one of his works this and I confirmed through a message that they went through the proper channels and were able to get the necessary rights to use it. There is a channel there and I could see Cadets using his music as well as Crown. In particular his work Traveler would be something I would die to see on the field for thematic and musical purposes. Would be pretty stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
