So, I don't know what you're talking about!?? Yeh, so I was just speaking about Bluecoats. But feel free to speak for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely looking forward to some good 'filler' drumcorps this season while things crank up again for the following year. This just feels so much like the SCV Phantom of the Opera back to back shtick in the late 80's. A sort of... "well let's try that again" sort of move. Obviously this is not the same thing, but it just has that vibe. And to be honest, they pretty well maxed out as much Beatles as I think I want to see in drumcorps in '19. Was hoping for something more 'cute' in a different direction. Perhaps they payed big for Beatles rights and they want to make good on the investment? I will reserve any hard judgment though. My Bluecoats have never failed to surprise me. I felt this way when they announced last years show, so I should have learned my lesson. That said, yes, it probably isn’t the show they would do were it not for these unique circumstances. But, that’s okay. The time and financial parameters of 2021 dictate a different approach.

MikeRapp Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) One of the things we will see is to what degree competition actually plays into the enjoyment of and engagement in the shows. I know we have always wondered what if…now we get to see it. Edited May 20, 2021 by MikeRapp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to hear the amazing Bluecoats tubas hit that bass line from "LSD". And I know that Harrison didn't care for McCartney's bass line for "Something", but I'd love to hear a good tuba line play that one someday as well.

Can't get around it - How is that portrayed on the field?. That truly is a puzzler. No drum corps has ever made an on-field murder a central part of their shows for numerous years in a row. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus-style stabbing is one thing; beating a woman to death with a large sculpture of male genitalia is quite another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
