Narrow Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) So glad they're taking on 'On The Shoulder of Giants', was hoping for it since at least 2017. That and the Tears for Fears song are what I'm really interested in hearing. Edited May 18, 2019 by Narrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The concept is accessible and most of the source music will be recognizable to many. Also, the Rocky piece harkens back to BAC 1991, and just as was the case then, the underdog surviving and then prevailing certainly would seem to be an allegory on the Boston Crusaders. Not hyping, but it would be a reasonable assumption that the upward trajectory of the corps seems like it might continue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comments are in line with my own opinion that from those corps who have already announced their music selections, it would seem that the trend is toward memorable music or at least music which the audience might hum or imagine on the way home. Even the more "esoteric" pieces have melody lines which are pleasant, tempos which are energetic and stirring, and yet almost all with a depth level which would allow a imaginative staff to create a drill (rather than merely play in place or pretend one was on a concert hall stage climbing scaffolding.) It might be a great season to be an audience member. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hearing it all together in April I'm just straight up excited for this summer! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Is this mere coincidence or shades of Hyde Parks, Marcellus Place, and Park Ridges past? This happens and somehow Crus' bod is able to pull off getting the rights to do a certain piece from Hamilton. Sure, coincidence? https://www.providencejournal.com/news/20190517/alexander-hamilton-letter-to-lafayette-stolen-decades-ago-resurfaces Edited May 18, 2019 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a great season to be an audience member. As always (well at least as of the more recent era of drum corps), it’s going to be all about how the arrangers decide to mash up all the pieces into their own creation. I agree - after looking at and hearing the rep that is trickling in, I am hopeful so far that there will be some good musical moments this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
