There's no way BD will get into the "way-back" machine as far as playing older selections.

The best we can hope for is a limited use of narration, and a show concept that flows better.

There's no doubt that Wayne Downey still has it...one need only compare the recently played "Awayday" to the original chart an sit there slack-jawed in how close they match up.

However, with all the "inspired by" and "snippets of" in the past few years, I don't forsee them changing the formula too much...which is show concept first, music secondary, and in some instances tertiary to it.

I'd like to be pleasantly suprised, but given past trends, I just don't see it happening.

2005: Dance Derby of the Century

2006: Kentucky Derby of the Century

A musical and visual look at great Kentucky Derby horse races, complete with "And down the stretch they come!!!!!" narration.

Be sure to listen for the recurring theme of the "Call to the Post" played by a variety of instruments.

You're sure to be captivated by the horn line's visual program, which will consist of the horn players marching around and around in an oval pattern, as if they are "racing" around the Churchill Downs track.

Listen in delight to the haunting ballad, "My Old Kentucky Home."

And of course, what day at the races would be complete without the amplified sounds of horses' hooves "thundering down the stretch?"

How about NASCAR? Horses are so, well, 18th Century.

Ok, I was kidding.

I still don't understand why people want corps to play music they've played already so badly. Then you all foam at the mouth when a corps actually DOES do it.

Heh, true.

However, it would be cool to see BD use some of these "old school" charts as part of their "encore" performances next year. I think that would be a compromise most of us would like.

I would like to see Pegasus done as an encore.....and One More Time. Le Fiesta might be too much, could cause cardiac arrest in the stands.

Haha, that it would.

I like tradition as well as the next guy, but how about something NEW? A little innovation never hurt anybody. There is tons of music out there- why rehash the same old stuff?
