Orwellian Wiress Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 What would that look/sound like? I propose: Downside Underworld. A cross between Bluecoats' Downside Up and The Academy's Drum Corpse Bride. It would be a show that tells the story of a couple in love who die tragic deaths, and find themselves in a strange, surreal afterlife. The props are what at first appear to just be backdrop panels of a cemetery at night that get turned around and reveal they're actually the ramps. Uniforms would be the original from Drum Corpse Bride, but the corps does a costume change, taking them off to show a skeletal tracksuit-like uniform underneath. The music would start with the traditional classical pieces featured in Drum Corps Bride, but gradually turn more dissonant over time, ending with Downside Up's opener.

The soloist could do the wink and then his eye could fall out. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone very into the horror industry, I adore this. Would love to see a corps one day implement some of the special effect techniques used in horror films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
