Reed Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Colts 2019 (When Hell Freezes Over) Mandarins 2018 (and some might say 2019) Music City 2018 (Hell on Wheels) Crown 2015 (Inferno) SCV 2011 (The Devil's Staircase) Seems to be a pretty popular theme. Any ideas why? (Thinking too much about the Texas tour, maybe?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 You forgot Cadets 2011 (though I guess it wasn't explicitly about hell) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 And maybe because the corps that's won the most are Devils... Can't beat 'em, join 'em... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironlips Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hell's been a popular theme since, well, Genesis (the book, not the corps), and probably well before that, actually. It's related to the fact that the villain gets all the good parts in literature, stage and film. Always has. We just like scary stories around the campfire, and what's a drum corps show but a big musical campfire? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimaster Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Phantom 2006 “Faust” as well. We’re on a football field. Simple themes(good vs Evil) work well on the big stage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple themes(good vs Evil) work well on the big stage. One of my favorite drum corps shows of all time. That ballad and closer - hell, even the opener - are classic lessons in how to program for drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkrepps Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Because harps aren't allowed in Drum Corps yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
