Tim supplied you with a different version??? The written description focus in the press release seems to me to be more on David ...in his underdog role. Its not so much about " Goliath " per se, but more on the virtues of courage, wisdom, and perseverance, and the like displayed by the young David when facing the taller, stronger, seemingly invincible Goliath. Thats my take anyway. I have not heard Tim's take on his read of the press release. X Edited May 17, 2019 by BRASSO 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Davidic approach definitely seems more drum corps appropriate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnt-Up was only two, Washed-Up is written as 3 syllables but said as 2. If they stay literal to the Biblical story, does the short hand for 2019 show become Stoned?

X I think your interpretation is on target and fits the corps well, especially when you look at the history of the corps. How many people, say 25-30 years ago thought BAC would last, and if they did somehow survive, would be as successful as they are today? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By focusing on one piece of the story, it’s more clear cut. If it was titled David, it could be far less focused. The whole story of David, from the shepherd in the field, to his bravery, loyalty, infidelity, his ability to lead his country but inability to lead his family, to becoming a wise and faithful man in later years is pretty complex. Focusing on the David v. Goliath makes more sense. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides another corps already did that in '92, In the Spring at the time when Kings go off to War... cf. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+11&version=NIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 What a wildly eclectic set of source material, some really cool stuff in there and some stuff I’ve never heard which is always fun. Paired with a very accessible theme it should be cool. Have loved the last two shows so I’m sure this will be great too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
