Inferring is akin to assuming and you know what they say about that.  It’s a crap shoot as to who brings the music for a given production.  Heck sometimes even the drummers have a good idea!

Inference and assumption are very different things.  Let’s just agree to agree...or not.

"akin to" is not equivalency.   it simply suggests a relationship.

you jumped to a faulty conclusion by including an assumption in your inference.  

this is an extremely common error.   

anyway this is diverging far off topic.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dominique at Spring Fling. He is a 3 year age out and a True Blue Crusader!

Listened to the recording this morning for the first time.  It's ... not at all what I expected.  For such a "classical" type theme, I expected much more fire and thunder, more like an operatic / Phantom type show.  Instead, the music is quirky, modern... and fantastic!  Can't even say *why* it's so grab-you-and-don't-let-go, but it is.  And what they bring that is unique against the rest of the top 5 is *speed*.  Man, a great deal of this show is pushing the tempos.  Can't wait to see this one in motion!

I agree. I just listened to the park concert video, and WOW am I blown away with the music! I will also say that their brass and percussion sound AMAZING! They could well be in the hunt for top 3 in those two captions. And I am sure their guard will be excellent once again.  Difficult to do, for sure, but possible with their talent and quality of music book. Not sure how the visual side will turn out, but this show should be a musical feast for fans.

So stop then!

Having seen the visual show in person (twice) I would say two things....first, the guard seems to have picked up right where they left off in August.  In what I believe to be is a first for BAC, the group consists of 22 guys and 22 girls...and they look older to me.  Visually, the drill is faster paced and more intricate than last year, with the focal points constantly shifting and pulling your attention from moment to moment. The use of the props is well choreographed and they are nearly constantly in play.  No there is nothing being burned...at least not that I could see.  As I said earlier on another thread, the horn line seems very tall to me (and I saw them without uniforms).  The staging of the herald trumpets is a wow moment...of which there are many.  Another great moment is the 44 rifles. I am trying to not give too much away, and it may be a challenge for the film crew in Detroit to catch everything, but I think most folks in the theatre will enjoy the show.  5 days now and counting...

Excited to see the corps, reading this thread and listening to the music has me pumped!

Well I told myself I wasn't going to get back on here until the season started, but I just have to say that I was blown away from the concert in the park recording! This group sounds INCREDIBLE. Can't wait for the season to start and look forward to seeing what this group accomplishes!
