(Also: no kids want to play Bernstein when Bluecoats are out there playing ZAPPA.) I love the Bluecoats. But I find the idea of Bluecoats setting the standard for interesting (rather than just exciting) music choices pretty suspicious, honestly. Personally my mouth is salivating at the idea of Cadets doing "On the Waterfront." Edited July 14, 2017 by saxfreq1128 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two sides can thrive together, but to say Bluecoats isn't setting the standard for interesting music is dubious at best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that's not true. We need BOTH as an activity. It's just that Bernstein needs to be done in a way that connects to the "kids". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear a couple other Zappa songs myself, but then that corps couldn't list the titles in the program. Zappa music is all pretty good, even though many of the topics are decidedly adult. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Coats this year - however "interesting music" isn't why. It's the staging, design and super high performance levels The music is really standard drum corps fare - played many many times over the years in most cases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTNK Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Do the "windows" move or get used/interacted with more now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know they are two sided so eventually they will be flipped over to the other side They've also hinted that the guard will be going behind them to bring out some fabric etc during the finale - sounds like some large sail flags or something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
