ironlips Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 "Yup! Also the Brassmen's show in 71." Absolutely right. St. Rita's was well ahead of the curve as well. Other drum corps had been playing tunes from West Side Story for a decade or so, of course, but nobody had attempted to portray the story line front to back. This was really opera on the football field. (And lest anyone quibble, WSS really is an opera, in my view.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
