If your corps had the chance to collaborate with that band would it also be insipid and make you throw up? Hermin's Hermits...Dave Clark Five. ...Trini Lopez. In my wildest dreams, I never would have guessed something called Thank You Scientist was a band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Lancer Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Way back on the last day of 2017 spring training in Denison, Bluecoats finally performed their first complete run through of Jagged Line. Who was there to watch it? Thank You Scientists. Bloo flew them in to watch how their work translated to the football field and after that first run through, TYS gave a private concert for the corps. Who had no problems getting licensing from TYS? Yup, Bluecoats, in part because they invited the band into the drum corps experience. I’m sorry there are fans of drum corps who can’t get past their narrow preferences not to see how this is a great thing for the activity.

HockeyDad Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) This is a great thing for the activity? How? I mean, you think it’s great, ok fine. But the hyperbole here is a bit much. I guess we forgot how to disagree without calling each other names. You don’t like it? I don’t care. You like it? I don’t care. But claiming it’s good for the activity? Please. You know what would be good for the activity? More sleep. Better and more consistent food. Mandatory tee shirts, hats and sunscreen. More water breaks.

Jurassic Lancer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Why do I think this is good for the activity: A corps invites a musical group which is unaware of the activity to witness what a corps can do with the band’s source material. The band is so impressed they invite the corps to collaborate with them for a commercial release. I think this is a great thing for the activity. I like sunscreen, too.

But IMHO, it still doesnt diminish that this type of thing helps our activity touch a few more eyes and ears that may have no idea of what it is that we do.

Did not Carolina Crown also do something similar previously with some of its composers?!! I can remember the tweet by Peter Lovett Cooper hailing them. And Cadets had the visit to camp by the John Mackey whose works were later familiar in several corps books. Bloo is but continuing a wonderful tradition, and kudos to them.

If I recall they live streamed some stuff from Allentown on their groups page too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
