FTNK Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 6 hours ago, ExPitster said: Very interesting...this is a different story than what I heard back then. I had a good friend who marched the '90 show (same year I marched 'Coats) and can't remember if he told me this or someone else...but the explanation I got was that Marc Sylvester wanted to do an entire show based on Bernstein's "Mass" which would be an in-depth exploration of good vs. evil. Supposedly the BOD was uncomfortable with some aspects of what was proposed, thus the change to the tribute show. I'm not one to post gossip or idle speculation, but this seems long enough ago that I thought it would be germane to the conversation. Funny how in later years, both the "Good vs. Evil" (2011) and full on "Mass" (2017) concepts came to fruition anyway. Eagerly counting down to the start of 2022... the BOD wasn’t ok with that but was ok with…. you know the whole Hop thing sorry don’t mean to hijack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have seen how they were going to interpret the show seeing as they did a nice job with Les Mis in 1989. So they were going to continue with a musical and then they found out SCV was doing Carmen so they scrapped the show and had to change course and put together a Bernstein celebration show of various tunes and somehow managed to still pull off a World Title. But I would have loved to see their interpretation of Carmen. SCV did one heck of a job with it too. My memory could be failing me, but I thought I remember Cadets planning on a Pat Metheny show for '90, but then switched some time over the winter to the Bernstein show.

Well your guess is as good as mine. I always heard it was Carmen. You're saying you heard it was Pat Metheny (which would have been cool) and another person is saying it was to be a full show on Bernstein's Mass. Anyone else have better info?

Musicman1084 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Not a full show, but I've always been curious what the Bluecoats' 2017 ballad was supposed to be before they replaced it with Grow Till Tall due to what I heard were licensing issues with the original choice. I'm ultimately glad they went with the Jonsi piece, but I'm still curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicsta Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 In 2012 the Cadets had a Pearl Harbor show on tap, before switching to the (now classic, then head scratching) Christmas show. Also, I heard that Sia's Chandelier was the original Bloo ballad in 2016, but didn't work out well at spring training, so the scrapped it for that excellent Pink Floyd tune. I wonder how Crown will do with that tune this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Weren't the Cadets planning on Appalachian Spring again, may sometime in the early 00s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
