Highwaydude Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 What a great show this year by Tarpon Springs. I wonder who in DCI will be first to bring this to the field in 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When kids are playing at the level Tarpon does, they have already done a fantastic job with the education part and are focused on performance. This actually has everything to do with music education, in fact, they've nailed it. Listen to their wind ensemble, their jazz band, and try to suggest they don't have music education absolutely locked. This is a program that is 100% about education. 10 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) in 3.5 minutes, 45 seconds of horn line and maybe 1 set of marching and playing. impressive. edit: and I don't think the screens really add anything to the show, but I bet the judges love them.

George Dixon Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I’m typically not much of a tarpon fan and that goes for this clip as far as the screens I could picture cavaliers using this first jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 One advantage of delivering information via screen rather than via narration is that it doesn't cover up the music. (Naturally I expect bands and corps will do both, thus rendering that point moot.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Why spell out words without digital screens when you can spell out words with digital screens for 20X the price? 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly more points garnered by an adult. Then there's the extremely distraction factor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 But the obligatory rolling around on the ground and faux emoting, sure is super awesome. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
