No point I'm changing it now. I know. The Bandies were already calling them #GrayPantsBand on their live video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when I would cringe when I'd hear drum corps referred to as "band" but once I realized that MMs use the term too, I was ok with it. After all, technically it is still band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band thing just doesn't bother me anymore. I guess I'm getting soft in my old age. Edited June 19, 2017 by Terri Schehr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already arranged to donate them to The Couchmen after the season is over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I have been changed" I think that's the big emphasis, as opposed to the traditional meaning behind the song. That and it's just a beautiful ballad to rest the audience and give reprieve from the intensity and controlled chaos of the rest of the show. I think this show is going to end up being all about metamorphosis from order to chaos, deconstruction, but in an evolving way, not just tearing down.

Newseditor44 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) So now that I've had a chance to digest it all, the corps brought their A-game tonight. I was expecting to be underwhelmed but was far from that. Are their holes in the show, yes, is it incomplete, yes. Will it be good, hell yes! I'm very willing to keep an open mind until the entire production cut is on the field. I was a bit disappointed that someone from the corps design team didn't talk to the crowd about the design concept and tell us about the elements that have yet to be added. I was also a little miffed that they told us the start time was 6:00pm but the corps didn't perform until 7:30. Perfect opportunity to talk to the fans a bit. As for performance - the brass and percussion are both very good, and that hornlike showed some some serious power tonight. posted from the DrumScorps app Edited June 19, 2017 by Newseditor44 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newseditor44 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Also, the first thing I thought about when I saw the uniforms was the old "purple" Crown uni's from back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
