kalad's_phantoms_regiment Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I want to see someone try a Lord of the Rings show... maybe Boston or Crown could pull it off? Not sure how difficult getting the rights to the film score would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 1 hour ago, Toby said: Cadets: Requiem for the Living by Daniel Forrest I suggested this a few years ago for Phantom. Great piece filled with plenty of moments made for drum corps, but as a whole show it might be a bit slow-moving (considering that it is, after all, a requiem mass and not a symphony or concerto).

Precious Roy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Operation: Mindcrime. Although, it would probably be quite a chore to condense that album down to 13 minutes and still be able to get the story across. Perhaps just use "Suite Sister Mary" as the main show, and build around that. (BTW, as a heavy metal fan, I LOVE the "Stockholm Syndrome" idea. That would have been perfect for Carolina Crown a few years back) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operation: Mindcrime is more about political corruption (intertwined with a love story) rather than dystopian society. Perhaps this belongs more in the "music corps should do" thread.

kkrepps Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I had a dream last night about a show. It was a musical of the U.S. Navy's Nuclear Power program (Rickover, congressional appropriations, designing the Nautilus, etc...). I especially liked a musical piece about how piping system cleanliness was important for plant safety. It seemed really great while I was dreaming it anyway.

Drum corps or marching band this is one of the greatest times of all time. Being from Michigan I had the pleasure of seeing this show develop in ‘99...brilliant design and amazing execution.

Does the admiral still have you sitting in his closet to see whether you are seaworthy for his nuclear submarines? Talk to the New London crowd about this.

IntercalaryTurtle Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I can't believe no corps has tapped into the wonderful music of Frank Ocean. Pretty much every one of his songs would make a beautiful ballad, my personal favorite: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
