Jared_mello Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You guys discussing the mid-90's Magic show with the features, furs, and leopard print sashes in the pit may also very well be talking about '94, another show that included those costumes. That was the Cirque du Magique part deux show, my favorite from the corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Early 1990's, not sure of the exact year... Magic did a show with the color guard wearing what appeared to be spider masks. For whatever reason, I liked that show!!!!! (In fact, for whatever reason I liked most of Magic's early-years "alternative universe" stuff) 1991 Cadets: "The ABC's of Modern Drum Corps." Just a tad around the bend. B) If they had added X, Y and Z it wouldn't have helped this show, IMO! Fran It was probably 1990 their first year, I believe they did Danny Elfman music and I believe one of the tunes was from Kiss of the Soider Woman or something to that extent.

One of the BEST 17th place corps ever IMO Edited March 23, 2006 by Storkysr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afd Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 For me....i'll always remember Star of Indiana from i think 1986. Those punk rockish white wigs that the guard had on and it really had nothing to do with the theme of the show. I think it was music of John Williams from Star Wars and Close Encounters. I don't know if the show was weird but it looked weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Anello Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) This isn't bizarre in the same way the shows described were bizarre, but it was an odd decision. At 1973 DCI, I saw a corps from the Pacific Northwest ( I think) that performed the Star Spangled Banner as part of their show. I remember a lot of confusion on how to react. Some people stayed seated, some stood up, some put their right hands on their chests. This even included judges, if I remember correctly. Like I said, compared to some of the other examples, this may seem a little tame. But, it sure was strange to me at the time.

Built-in standing ovation, no matter how well or poorly it was played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
