84BDsop Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 BTW....I can;t wait to go see this in a theater and start "Blooing" and ROYALLY confusing the non-corps crowd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vferrera Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Copyright issues, perhaps? Bluecoats paid the rights to use certain music, the the movie's producers may not have yet, Good point. So did they pay royalties for the music in the trailer, or was that an original composition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medeabrass Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 haha, I pulled up the site - throwitdownthemovie.com - "okay, first off, we are not a band.."Looks great. Beat me to it...I love that "...we are a drum corps!!!there are no flutes or saxaphones..." I hope the corps directors see this documentary just for this quote alone. Is the trailer available anywhere else? I can't get to youtube right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. contra/tuba thing- the guy holding it was the section leader in 2007... i got to hold it for 2 retreats! (back in the good old days when there were actually full retreats....)

baristeve Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 it was planned for release in the winter of 06/07, but the movie director came across some health problems or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84BDsop Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Good point. So did they pay royalties for the music in the trailer, or was that an original composition? Dunno....but it's not a corps playing it, and since it's part of the trailer, I'd guess the movie producti9on company either paid for the rights or paid for an OG work...nothing on 'Coats' shoulders there.

ravedodger Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Wow. I guess I missed the original topic posted almost two months ago. http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/inde...f=3&t=94496 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93Bluecoat Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 contra/tuba thing- the guy holding it was the section leader in 2007...i got to hold it for 2 retreats! (back in the good old days when there were actually full retreats....) The crow bar dates back to 1991. I won't tell the story associated with it, but I was involved in....cough cough, acquiring Gunther (yes, the crow bar has a name). Its simply a rallying implement that became a tradition with the contra/tuba section. A terrific symbol of strength and confidence, and great in a street fight if you ever needed it. It came in handy in 1993 when we housed in Jackson, MS for finals in a not-so-savory neighborhood. Not too many people were going to mess with 12 big guys carrying contras and a crow bar.

The guy with the crow bar is another story. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
