ContraFart Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) I really love the playlist from Crossmen and Colts.. I also listened to all of Bluecoats rep and its EXACTLY what I expect from them. I'm champing at the bit for the tour to start. Edited June 10 by ContraFart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkHornGA Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Scouts - Sam Smith to Jefferson Airplane to Spanish Guitar…color me intrigued. Bloo - Eclectic and impossible to pin down. I would expect nothing less. Boston - I’m always interested to see what they come up with. Troopers - Dark, brooding and makes me want to quote Tombstone all day. Come on. It’s gold.

Chief Guns Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I'm looking forward to all the music from every WC/OC show. These amazing kids could be doing numerous other things right now. Yet they are currently busting their butts all over the country to prepare to entertain knuckleheads like me all summer. I will do my part in celebrating and cheering all of the them, regardless of their repertoire. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG984 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 My concern is this....though I saw some fine selections within the corps' repertoire selections, my personal opinion is that if you have eight or more selections within such a short period, it makes it quite difficult for anything to fully develop musically. This "snippets" style of arranging has been going on for quite a bit of time now, though, so I guess it works for some. Also, I believe that those selecting the music believe that everyone will be fully familiar with most or all of their selections, which is likely untrue. For me, musical continuity is key, regardless if I know the work or not, and can be lacking when too many pieces are attempted to be woven into the product. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) I will say one thing about this topic: For me, it is really not what is being played. It is how it is arranged. I generally know, from recent experience, that I will enjoy the Bluecoats no matter what they play because the way they arrange their book, it is always tasteful, well integrated between sections, and just mostly works. There are groups that are like that and there are groups that are the opposite. The corps in each group change from year to year though.
