ftwdrummer Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Am I wrong for feeling way down on this XMen show just because they're using Medea? I mean, it's well-used in marching band now...but I personally felt it was kinda sacred for drum corps, because of Star '93 (that feeling isn't hurt at all by Star '93 being my favorite show of all time). Any suggestions for getting over myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellbrass07 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well, from what I've seen of the Crossmen the past 5 years, and when comparing Aaron Guidry's writing style to Jim Primes, I'm going to say that the arrangements are going to be almost polar opposites. Wait until you see the show until you pass judgement too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebellbrass07 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 More Medea... Awesome... a drum corps has not done medea in quite a while. A lot of drum corps fans dont watch high schools, so they don't see billions of people do it every year. That and Guidry's writing style seems to be pretty unique so i think it will sound at least somewhat different from what we've heard in years past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmbalash Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Meh. On the heels of the market crash of 1929 and standing at the gateway of the Great depression - 1930 was a year of complexity and contradiction. The contrast of an economic storm-front and the beauty of American optimism present a collage of the cultural unknown. With an undeniable foot in the present, the 2009 Blue Devils take a look back at a year when faith and uncertainty were suddenly in a dance of the indefinite. To stand in the face of a tempest or take a seat in the dream of diversion, the artist and innovators of 1930 generated a broad emotional landscape. From the buoyancy of Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm" to the multifarious "Piano Variations" of Aaron Copland, the Blue Devils offer a modern exploration of one single year. A year that would herald its number one popular song "Happy Days Are Here Again" and produced the future Judy Garland classic "Get Happy". With the 2009 program "1930", the present and the past convene in a theatrical conversation of passion and exhilaration. Through unique visual and musical composition, the Blue Devils continue to showcase the world's most accomplished young performers as they travel the US offering a distinctive approach to contemporary drum and bugle corps. Albert Einstein said, "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science". The year he made this profound statement? 1930.

Xenon Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Meh. Yeah, that doesn't really get me going either. Although, I guess it does kinda fit the corps in their big-band sound kind of ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMcom-Josh Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 For those of you who weren't able to make it to the DCI 2009 The Countdown in theaters last night, the new World Class Corps Jersey Surf announced their show as well. Entitled: The Mozart Effect. Sounds interesting and wish them the best of luck this year in World Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 For those of you who weren't able to make it to the DCI 2009 The Countdown in theaters last night. . .

LegacyBassoon Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 From Phantom's site: Phantom Regiment 2009 The Red Violin The 2009 production of The Red Violin continues Phantom Regiment's tradition of combining artistry, passion, and power with good old-fashioned drum corps and entertainment. From the color guard's technical prowess and dramatic flair, to the artistry and precision of the percussion, to the emotion and power of the Regiment hornline a new story emerges that will once again set the standard for outdoor theater. Music from the show is mainly focused around the different variations on the Paganini theme. The music pieces include: * The Red Violin from the film The Red Violin, by John Corigliano * Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Paganini, by James Barnes * Paganini Variations, by Witold Lutoslawski * Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, by Sergei Rachmaninoff * Caprice XXIV Paganini, by Benny Goodman * Paganini Variations, by Philip Wilby The story includes the trials and tribulations of romance and stardom, as we follow a young, poor musician and his new bride struggling to make ends meet. When the musician comes upon a magical red violin, his life is forever changed. We hope you enjoy the journey, as we present The Red Violin.

IMcom-Josh Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Blue Knights present: Winter-Antonio Vivaldi Gilde-original music by staff members Russ Newbury and Jeff Ausdemore Landslide-Stevie Nicks Tarantella-Ethel Coronation from the movie "Stardust"-Ilan Eshkeri Don't forget that these Corps along with Open class Corps shows can be found at corpsreps.com although sometimes it can take awhile for them to get on there at times. Good source of finding the history of every Corps. Edited May 18, 2009 by IMcom-Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
