It seems like it is more common today to do a 20 second “shout out” to an earlier piece than a full on reprise. Agree with this. Blue Devils have been very nicely using a short snippet of earlier material -- usually from their ballad -- and weaving it into their endings. 2017 was awesome, and 2015 was very effective. Phantom 2003 was an incredible brass book and the ending rocked. In the 1970s and 1980s this was definitely more common. BD was always good at this, and The Cadets with Rocky Point and even Shaker Hymn from Appalachian Spring in 1987 did it well. Phantom's Spartacus show in 2008 had a reprise. Madison's 1999 Superstar Reprise is awesome. Crown in 2016 was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwillis35 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Almost forgot this one, and maybe someone mentioned it earlier, but Blue Devils in 1988 doing their "Happy Days" reprise with all the trumpet soloists up front while the corps marched off the field. This actually my be my fav. Close call between this and Phantom 2003. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they are usually derived either from the opening piece or the ballad, but I personally find reprises from the opener to be more satisfying because of the symmetry and length of time in between hearing the piece. What are some of your favorites? Two of mine: Phantom Regiment 2003 and Blue Devils 2012 Well Phantom 2003 certainly re-sparked the idea of a reprise in the closer so I'm going to go with that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
