The music sounds interesting. Haven’t people said Maslanka won’t grant arranging rights? For what it’s worth a lot of the badasses and people I looked up to, members and instructors, when I marched there were women. Paula Hyman, Christen Juel, Julie B., Selena Maytum... Maslanka himself passed away recently. His estate is much more willing to grant the rights (multiple corps last year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acolli17 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I love Maslanka, but does anyone else feel weirdly about corps jumping on the arrangement train so soon after his death? He was ardently opposed to his music being reinterpreted, I just feel slightly weird that so many groups immediately jumped at the chance to use his music. Maybe that's just me, I dunno.

I'm happy Cadets are playing it and can't wait to hear the arrangement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpendell Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Maslanka 4 as a closer is SO Cadets. This show looks very promising! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyt Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm not overly thrilled with the concept. The drum-corps-as-social-commentary trope is rarely ever done well, and has been particularly groan-worthy when attempted by past Cadet designers. But... that was a different crew. We'll see how the new blood handles it this time. I can't help but feel this is the continuation of some sort of apology-tour concept, though and I really want this new iteration of the Cadets to start zagging and shaking up the activity again. All that being said, the hornline sounds really solid and I like that much of the rep seems to be stuff that's fresh to the activity. I will be cheering for them via my living room Flo! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
