ekrebs102 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Your/you're, there/their/they're and to/too/two errors drive me bonkers...right up there with using "corp" as the singular form of corps. I thought "corpus" was the singular of Corps? :P (Oh, and I hate that I have Cingular wireless now after spending 10 seconds looking at the word singular to see if it is correctly spelled.)

Slow Adam Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Right after 2006 and 2005. ^0^ Mike! If there's a definition of trolling in the dictionary you just redefined it, (or atleast got you picture next to it). I mean come on, this is Hrothgar's one and only thread in which he has not bagged on Cadets 2005 and 2006 shows, and then you had to go and say something. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadettpt10 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I would agree that Cadets '93 was one of the best shows ever! While I have only ever heard a recording and have never seen the show, I love the music selections and the hornline sounds incredible!

chris ncsu Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Cadets 1993 is one of the most...insane shows. There are at least 10 moments in that show that scare the hell out of me from a visual standpoint (and integrated with the killer horn book)...and they pulled it off. A completely different show than Star 1993...Cadets 1993 was balls to the wall, nothing minimalist about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star 93 was not minimalist at all, whatsoever. Neither musically or visually/artistically.

Einstein On The Beach Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Then what do you call it? You know, the whole "the silence is more importance than the sounds" thing. Barber and Bartok were not minimalists. The minimalist artistic and musical movements didn't start happening until the 70s basically as a rebellion against avant-garde and modernism. Star 1993 just paid more attention to staying true to the original source music, rather than doing the typical drum corps bastardizations. That and they wanted to #### people off (the show WAS designed to push people's buttons). There wasn't really much silence in that show, have you heard the original source music? It's basically a 13 minute build up to the climax (or with Star, the last 2 minutes or so of the show) which is basically when Medea kills her children. I think that's the story anyway, someone more familiar with the original Greek myth please correct me. Anyway, I'm rambling and I'm exhausted, so if something I said isn't clear, well......oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
