Will have to give it a look. It was very well publicized and people were nuts about the end product. Not sure how you missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard about it until about a week ago when I was talking to some other teachers, not sure how I missed it either. I knew it was being made but never knew it got released.

Artists from other genres are dipping a toe in the pool. Kind of fun to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard nothing about this...but I don't follow WGI anyway...but you'd think there would be some bleed through...When I read this I got a bit excited and surprised at the same time...

I can't remember if DCI crossposted any of this. But it was gigantic news in the colorguard world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpbobcat Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 There was a lot of buzz about the show here in North Jersey. My wife and I wanted to go,but couldn't get tickets. People were hoping they'd come up with a tour or take it to Broadway.like BLAST. The reviews in the papers out here were all pretty positive. Problem is,its not playing in many theaters.

Its a completely different type of performance, and yeah they use color guard, but I still just dont see how someone will look at it and go hmmm...lets see more about what color guard is. Drum corps is a completely different animal in terms of layout and design. All of this couldn't be more wrong. It was a big deal for the entire marching arts world. Anytime the "outside world" sees, understand, and appreciates some part of your "niche" it matters. As for DCI and WGI being "completely different" -- um. Ok. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
