Props an unnecessary necessity or

Thank you.  

I remember some of the criticism of that show....that it was ballad intensive.

Listen to the first ballad starting at the 2:45 mark.  To me it is equally gorgeous.  Just so nice.  I'm sorry I cannot find a better or later season video but you will hear what I am referring to.

Speaking of props, this was just posted on the BAC 2021 thread.  I wonder if they got one of the giant guitars in Nashville.  :spitting:

Yes; Mozart! (I think)  I just thought the 2016 production was just an overall beautiful lyrical horn book.  

I listened to the Mozart as well as the recording you posted.  I don't see a similarity.  I see on dcxmuseum.org there a reference to the title of the piece with the composer being Colin Mawby. 

Here is an example of a recording of the Mawby version.  It is what Phantom played.

or better yet, DCI caps the number of paid instructors AND props to provide parity between corps.  Like what the NFL and NHL does.  

Drum Corps is dying.  Do what can be done to cut down operating expenses so the activity has a chance for survival, and not for just a few.  

Great minds think alike, but will egos get in the way!

Awesome, thanks!  I was confused.  Of course, there are several titled "ave vernum corpus" or "hail true body" from the prayer.  I love both of these arrangements.

Actually, I went to a concert ( classical) about 2 years ago and they had props, huge video screens lasers dancers, etc etc. They also spoke about how they felt they needed to bring the genre into this century and offer not just a musical but visual experience...interesting

Our local symphony has added video & lighting effects for their last two concerts.  With the advances in portable LED walls & stage lighting, you'll begin to see them in corps productions sooner rather than later.  🤔

Guess it depends on the metrics used.  The number of active corps in 1972 vs. 2021 is a pretty good one in my book to measure the health of the activity.
