gottalovit Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 What pieces of music performed by corps do you consider to be the most difficult? This can reflect a whole show, certain songs performed, or even just certain sections of the corps(hornline, percussion, pit, mellophones,etc) Some that stand out to me include, SCV(and later Cadets) -Young Persons Guide-one of the earlier uses in drum coprs of dual time signatures Cadets 93-especially the dual time signatures between brass and percussion Blue Devils 94-so much volume-amazing control Star of Indiana 91 Blue Devils 00-That pit was absolutely amazingly on fire!!!!! Cavaliers 00 SCV 99-Philip Glass opener is amazing These are some of the ones that really pop out to me at this time I know there are lots of instructors/music majors/judges etc out there. What do you consider to be the most difficult pieces performed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 '91 BD, wow. '91 Star, of course. '04 BD Lots of other corps, but these came to mind first. I'd also add that a lot of corps have played extremely difficult music badly, so I usually don't think of them in the same category. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCImonkey Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Star 93 Medea's Dance of Vengeance.... We tried to play a watered down version of it in a band I was in and it didn't go over very well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NR_Ohiobando Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Star 93 - Dance of Vengence Talk about you're weird rhythms! I practice directing by doing this part of the show like every day. It took like a week to get it down though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crfrey71 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Star of Indiana 1991. still, the most difficult show in drum corps history. They weren't just moving at insane speeds, but really blowing and playing some serious licks, while doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also definitely nominate Star of Indiana 1990. 1985 Phantom Regiment should be up there too. Musically, it was every bit as difficult as anything ever done. Don't remember it visually, but musically it was really something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) What about 1983 Garfield Cadet's Rocky Point Holiday....alot of runs in that. Edited July 16, 2005 by Malibu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
