Show Concepts - explain it to me


Recommended Posts

Except for Mandarins and Troopers, I'm not understanding what the shows this year are about. Last year, I had no problem following their intentions.  This year the birds ate all the breadcrumbs, and I can't figure out where I am. I've tried to go to corps' websites to look up meanings, metaphors, anything... And then when I ask people "What do the dresses mean?"  I get responses of "You are too dumb to understand".  I've marched drum corps, I have a degree in theatre, and I am an artist, please tell what a certain show is about and how the music and visuals uphold this concept.

Santa Clara Vanguard's show is about "Homeless, Ninja, Power Rangers". 

Please note: My brain chanted the to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song from the 80s cartoon.

Now it is doing that in your brain.  

Pass along the love.

The Bluecoats show is a subliminal message paid for by Heinz.

I thought they were cheerleaders for England's national soccer team.

Or the Danish Olympic team.

This had me rolling.

I think the Blue Devils show is a celebration of children's movies and shows.

Act One is set in Harry Potter's Hogwarts, Act Two is the carousel scene from Mary Poppins, and Act Three is either Beach Blanket Bingo or Gidget with all the hula hoops. Musically they stay in theme with music from anime and Pokemon.
