tgk2779 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Okay,.... so we now have "Retro" Music, "Retro" Marketing and Advertising, 70's sitcoms brought back as full length movies..... and everywhere we look, a theme on "re-creating" everything from the VW Bug to "Dance" Music (aka Disco 30 years later) WHAT IF!!!!.....What if to celebrate DCI's 35th Anniversary in 2007, each corps agreed to recreate a former show of their own and collectively presented a RETRO DCI Year of the 35th. Take last year's Theatre Event to a new level. Let's see the 1989 SCV show compete against 76 BD or any other combinations. Take this year's Top 12 and let's suggest the best RETRO Shows. Hey, who's to say this couldn't happen for one selected year???? Would love to see it.... and would like some input for each members' best RETRO Show.... It can be an entire year, or selections from various years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skajerk Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) Since Suncoast is no longer with us, I'd like to see Bluecoats give the Vietnam Show, A Florida Suite, or Adventures In Time (1984-86) a try. Phantom Regiment- Spartacus (1981-82) Cadets- Bernstein's Mass (1983) Spirit- Porgy and Bess (1984) But they'd have to use the way-back machine so Hunter would be able to play.

84BDsop Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 BD....the 1984 show...just so I can see it from the audience POV this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skajerk Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 How'd I leave that off my list??? Thanks, Sam. Best ^%$*# 2nd place show I've ever seen/heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skajerk Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'd also like to hear someone take on Caroline Encounters Tom Swift and His Marvelous Jazz Rock Machine (Valley Fever, 1982) B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscout96 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 If they did "retro" shows, you probably wouldn't see them the way they were back then. But what they could do is have the corps wear throwback uniforms!! Not all season long, maybe just at a few regionals or something like that.

fourouttheforty Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 What about relatively new corps like Crown? I guess I wouldn't have a problem with considering Bohemian Rhapsody retro :) Or since we've been talking a lot about the Crown/Star connection, what about Roman Images? ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHBob Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) These are all good ideas - especially '84 Blue s. However, what you WILL see at DCI 2007 is the return of the Anaheim Kingsmen (Alumni Corps) going on last at semi-finals, honoring the 35th anniversary of their winning the first DCI Championship.
