KVG_DC Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Just now, mfrontz47 said: Blue Knights have the equivalent of an arthouse film. You don't have to get it- I think it's very thoughtful and reflective on ideas like memory, escape, identity- it also reminds me of The Giver (though that may be due to the narrator sounding like Jeff Bridges). This. I feel like watching them is like watching some sort of concert art version of drum corps. It's just an aural landscape. They do some interesting things with the mirrors that get there visually but it's visually a bit too subtle. But that music book is gonna get a billion relistens from me this winter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you of all people know how much there is to see in each show, ESPECIALLY when you’re seeing it from the front for only the second time, the first time being the day before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 i'll be getting that bk show on mp3. one of the very few this year that works musically on its own. brass and percussion writers hit gold together this year and made something super special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every corps, every kid... they barely stop moving. There are no down moments where you're not contributing musically or visually. Agreed. Not sure it's as effective, though. Constant movement seems a bit like music without any rests. Edited August 10, 2019 by N.E. Brigand 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the puzzled look on Mike's face last night when Steve Rondinaro asked him, "Now, what is it that the drums do?" Several people in my theater actually laughed audibly,.
