Tony L. Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Mandarins should do a show based on the music from the movie Suspiria. Either version. Who better to bring a coven of witches to the field! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntercalaryTurtle Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think corps need to start getting more abstract with their show designs. When every show is super literal or story driven it just gets cliche. I think that’s where the Bluecoats have excelled recently, especially with shows like Downside Up and Kinetic Noise. Those shows don’t have characters or stories, but they aren’t completely random either. They have meaning without having to rely on that meaning, which can’t really be said about most of the top 12 the past few years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntercalaryTurtle Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Also a corps needs to do an exact remake of Star 93 because I’m salty I never got to see that live 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripchops Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I’ve always thought a David Bowie themed show would be neat. Call it, “Starman” with the culminating moment being the corps coming together and making the Ziggy Stardust lightning bolt symbol on the 50 marching in half time while blasting Starman. Not that I’ve thought this out or anything. RIP David Bowie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pay big money to see this. Imagine the top 12 drum corps shows of all time reproduced? I said 12, but I couldn't get my list below 15. 1974 SCV 1975 Madison Scouts 1975 Muchachos 1976 Blue Devils 1979 Blue Devils 1983 Garfield 1988 Madison Scouts 1991 Star 1995 Cavies 1995 Madison Scouts 2002 Cavies 2006 Cavies 2008 Phantom 2013 Crown 2019 Blue Coats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an homage alluding (NOT duplicating) great shows of the past. OK -- if you want to kill off the DM at the end, I'll buy that. But you gotta have "Tinkerbell" from Crown's "Grass Is Always Greener" do it. Take a deep look into the Madison 2019 show and you'll find a number of tributes to corps they have competed against over the years. (I found 6 tributes; eg. 1980 Garfield with One Voice, etc.) Edited August 19, 2019 by xandandl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook'emCavies Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The Cavaliers perform a show titled "Contras". A show performed by 155 contra players and it ends with Fnugg in Blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabetmonkey Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I don't know why I feel like the Cavaliers would do it best, but a Rolling Stones show with "Angie" as the ballad would be pretty hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripchops Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 How about one called “Assemble” and it’s all Avengers/MCU music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
