Malibu Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I wonder if any corps or indoor guards will put together a show to reflect on the devestation those felt by Katrina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think it would be a lot more appropriate (not to mention uplifting) to perform a show celebrating the musical heritage of New Orleans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj02 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I had this thought this morning as well. I'd love to see Spirit pay tribute to the culture of New Orleans with some swingin' Southern jazz and dixieland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manoloblahniksabre Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I hope not. Shows done in that vein are usually not done tastefully (ala Cadets '02). I think it's using catastrophe to up GE. Like someone else said, something celebrating New Orleans and its culture would be much better. I wonder if any corps or indoor guards will put together a show to reflect on the devestation those felt by Katrina. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 On a semi-related note, The Tragically Hip song "New Orleans is Sinking and I Don't Want to Swim" has been pulled from the air in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0at Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think its too early to do something like that , maybe 10 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I will go on record now and say that I don't like the idea even if it's an upbeat tribute show to the city of New Orleans. I didn't like the idea of patriotic shows in '02 either. It's too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torn8o Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think it would be a lot more appropriate (not to mention uplifting) to perform a show celebrating the musical heritage of New Orleans. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now you are talking!!!! :D But a show reminding us of this devistaion we just had? <**> Sorry, no offense- we already lived through it- and some of us not. :( We don't need to re-live it.

torn8o Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) I think its too early to do something like that , maybe 10 years? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Too early for a "Katrina" show yes...and perhaps never might even be better. BUT THE IDEA OF A NEW ORLEANS SHOW????? b**bs NOW IS THE TIME BABY! COME ON SPIRIT!!!! DO IT!!!!!!!

Jared_mello Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 After the three (four, was it?) hurricanes that hit south Florida this past year, my marching band did a show called "Category V" in the fall/winter of '04. We chose the show before they happened, but the season was still going on while they were all hitting. You don't need cheesy G.E. to produce a show like that, just music that can sort of recreate the experience somewhat, and some sort of relevance in the guard. We didn't have narration or props or anything, and if someone did do a show themed after Katrina, I don't think it'd need it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
