Perhaps you should be a tad careful when you attempt to throw posters under the bus. FWIW I agree that it's a "missed opportunity" to design a show about empowering women and not find at least one piece -- you know -- written by a woman. But very often designers are wrapped up in choosing music that (a) brings the right emotional tone (b) showcases the talent level performers (c) has built-in "effect" moments in the score (d) is not to encumbered with rights issues / doesn't cost too much to license (e) (f) (g) whatever other criteria the show construction calls for at the point. IOW the "who" rarely matters if a piece checks the all of design team's boxes. I can see why this happened . But they're all clearly 'ing right now. Remember how rights affect music selection in drum corps these days. The biggest obstacle to gender equality in drum corps music may be Tresona. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well differences aside - I’m certainly hoping for a great season by Regiment! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty tone deaf on the part of Regiment’s design team. And why stop there? Not a single song arranged by a woman, either. Quick - is any of the percussion writing done by women? Drill? Uniform design? How many of Regiment's equipment suppliers are businesses owned by women? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Well, I don't put too much stock into what anyone plays and how it relates to the so called 'theme'. I am not going to sit there and judge the Regiment based on the composers they choose but rather, are they entertaining me. If not, I'm also not going to think, 'a female composer would have made all the difference', that's just stupid! I was REALLY hoping for Phantasm to be awesome. (IMO) it was awful. Badly conceived, badly developed and a missed opportunity. Probably a second tier BOA show at best, and even that's a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely pointing out that there are a lot of us who get it. Seemingly more than those of you who don’t get it. Perhaps those of you who don’t get it should try to learn something. Ok, I’ll try to get your point if you promise me to not bag on a corps for not introducing you to something you’re to lazy to seek out on your own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was sarcastic but I get what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 At this point, I’ll bet they wish they’d just said that the theme of their show is “Joan” and left it at that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is “ I am Joan” close enough? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
