brassdude6171 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Crowns great, lots of ties to Star. They arent even near Star though, their shows arent anything like Stars, barring a few minor throwbacks. What are some qualities that would make a show "like Star's"?

Maybe even more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 What are some qualities that would make a show "like Star's"? First of all, an absolutely killer mellophone line, like theirs in 1991!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 What are some qualities that would make a show "like Star's"? Jim Prime arranging (harmonics and style) and awesome mellophone lines. Otherwise, they were known as the chameleon corps, having a different style almost every year of their existence. Closest shows to one another style-wise were '90 and '91. Every other year was quite different than the others. Differing uniforms every year. Differing visual people frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown is Crown. It's all good. Edited December 23, 2016 by corpsband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if Crown would just do a Belshazzar's Feast show.... Pretty please with sugar on top! In my mind, "Carolina Crown" is very much the spiritual successor to "Star of Indiana". They're different though. Can't wait to see some old school Cadets drill writing melding with Klesh writing and that hornline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am patiently waiting for that too. and well done with the "in my mind" :-) As for Sacktig + Klesch....it's gonna be a fun summer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) What are some qualities that would make a show "like Star's"? The deep, rich, textural, sound of the G's in the brass line, particularly in the soprano voices, for starters. So no, there is no future DCI Corps that will ever have a brass sound quite like the Star of Indiana once did.

mjoakes Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yes, a start up group called Ignition drum corps from Indianapolis who wasn't approved for open class in 2016 but performed as a Soundsport unit over last summer. There taken 2017 off. Hope they have a bright future. Indiana needs a drum corps. Great high school marching bands within the state. Hey, thanks for that info about an Indiana corps. Tough name. But here is the link with a short message about not fielding a corps in 2017 due to some financial re-thinking (I think). http://www.indianapolisignition.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
