Put a Beatles show in the hands of GH...how many ways does that go terribly wrong? Couple things... 1. GH... who? 2. The only other design team that I would trust to handle a Beatles show was Saucedo and Gaines under Fiedler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side by Side is the first show that comes to mind if you are implying performing while on a vertical prop Edited July 24, 2019 by ykw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there was a history that came with being the nation's oldest corps. Sure the uniform was iconic. But they won their audience and their first DCI championships by hiring some great staff, breaking some of the design "rules" of the day, creating exciting shows, and applying an incredible work ethic to achieve those shows. They definitely weren't saying "let's keep doing what Garfield did in the 70s"! Has BD tarnished their 1976 title by doing a 2019 show that would have been unthinkable back then, and wearing uniforms that nobody from 1976 would recognize? Or have they honored it by displaying the same commitment to excellence more than 4 decades later? This. First they zigged. Then everyone zigged so they zagged. Uniform was never part of the equation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East9900 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Aside from tarps, isn't any prop vertical? SCV used vertical props in the 80's. SCV '87 and '89 come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the winds of change were already in the air.... Talent kept it alive. Continued tinkering with design... and uniform... held it back. Oh and the guard 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
