BD explored a bit of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg but there’s so much more from that film that could be done. Not just music, the whole color palette as well. The film consists of almost nothing but music and color. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamahoNow Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 20 hours ago, cowboy0324@gmail.com said: With the popularity of Blue's Beatle's show, I wondered which other group or performer had a catalog with enough depth, challenging music and emotion to justify a complete drum corps show. Admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of her music, but a show from the music of Barbara Streisand came to mind. With a musical career of more than 60 years, she has a wealth of music from which to choose. What would your best "Babs" show repertoire be? I, for one, would have enjoyed a show on the empowerment of women last season based on "Babs" music more than what was presented by either Cadets, or PR. (But not Crossmen.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjoakes Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The Bluecoats taught me this year not to dismiss anything too quickly as not useful on the field. Blackbird is one of my favorite Beatles, tunes, but I didn't think of it at all as a drum corps ballad until I first heard Blooo playing it. Get together smart, creative drum corps folks - as the Bluecoats did - and I think they could make a lot of source material field worthy, including stuff from Babs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) I find this a real revelation: " An interesting twist to this thread: those who are intrigued by this idea vs. those who are totally confused as to why anyone would put a Babs (or even worse, "who's that?") show on the field is a clear litmus test for who's gay and who's straight on DCP. " Nobody told me about this litmus test when I arranged the 27th Lancers show in '86. It was based in it's entirety on Streisand's covers of Sondheim on the "Broadway" album: Putting it Together, Ladies Who Lunch, Being Alive, Not While I'm Around...etc. Who knew that sexual orientation was tied to a liking for great melodies? Live and learn. Edited August 24, 2019 by ironlips accuracy 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the Pretty Women/Ladies who lunch arragement my high school did a year or so later came from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalad's_phantoms_regiment Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My first thought for a show focused on one artist or group is immediately "We Like it Here", featuring the music of Snarky Puppy. After Spartans' closer this year, I'd love to see BD or Bloo put an all Snarky Puppy show on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
