Has anyone tried to play New World Symphony since '89? That would be really risky. But, on the other hand, SCV did Les Mis after Cadets did it in '89, but they waited a loooong time as well.

Sutasaurus Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I’m with Kopeck… a reboot of Symphonie “Phantastique” would be worth looking into. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said before that 'A Clockwork Orange' has Phantom written all over it - Purcell, Rossini, and The Glorious Ninth of Ludwig van. The music is critical to the story. But the insurmountable problem is the (ultra)violence - also critical to the story is a r*pe & a r*pe/murd*r. But the music is glorious.

Tim K Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 If Phantom or any corps for that matter decides on Andrew Lloyd Webber, I’d be cautious. He has his share of showstoppers that can be used effectively in drum corps, no question, and a musical review of his songbook featuring the wide range could be interesting, but his music is really is stuck in the 80’s and that’s fine for long rides in the car, on our playlists, a revival by a local theater group or high school/college drama club, etc., but I’m not sure a straightforward “Phantom” or “Cats” or “Evita” for that matter would be the best idea for drum corps at a time innovation and originality are critical for success. I’m sure I’d enjoy such a show, but I don’t think it would threaten BAC, Bloo, Crown, or BD, or Mandarins, Cadets, or Cavies for that matter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been accused of being stuck in the 80s too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
