Reed 210 Report post Posted Thursday at 02:38 AM 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ironlips 876 Report post Posted Thursday at 05:11 AM 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
