Forevergreen Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Ghost said: I recall the BD on the East Coast early one year, wasn’t doing well, and they flew home the designers to make major changes. That may not fit the period the OP has in mind. I remember this to be the case. They ended up second. I remember a mom of one of the members posting on Soundmachine that her son was in BD and the manner in which they moved to change it was amazing to him. He had previously marched BK but after not making finals in '01- auditioned for BD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most notably Stoned (or whatever that show ended up being titled), and Faithful Fallen Forgiven, which actually turned out to be a pretty neat show the last two weeks of the season —- but not without major “burn it all down” rewrites while on tour.

I remember someone telling me at Finals in 1991 when discussing their show that they had tried doing it the year before, but changed because it wasn't working. Don't know if this is true or not..... Can anyone confirm that? In 1990 they were planning a Mass show, but changed it during winter camps to "Bernstein Celebration" w/ Candide and Somewhere. Some of the Mass material survived as the 2nd piece. I've been told that in 1986 they considered PF&R as the closer, but I don't know if they actually rehearsed it. I think On the Waterfront + PF&R would've made an absolutely amazing music book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone with more knowledge speak on that? Oh yeah, I remember having a recording that year that was posted to Audio Galaxy from their first show. Very different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilme861 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 2009 Phantom had a LOT of changes, always felt for that corps that year as they had to learn so many versions of that show that season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone with more knowledge speak on that? Yep. They started the major rewrites when they got back to northern California after the east coast leg of the tour. The Channel One Suite and ending rewrites took place the two days before Murfreesboro. Edited June 30, 2019 by dcsnare93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmolnar Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Not a total re-write (kept the same music arrangement) but we scrapped all the drill for Russian Christmas in 05. Pretty late too, if I remember correctly. I want to say early/mid July. Didn’t help much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
