Xenon Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Try we don't even do BOA. So nice comparison, idiot. Can we also try to refrain from name calling as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exgerm Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 But isn't it possible that maybe the Marcus drumline suffered a little pit to field phasing at Birdville? And that this performance doesn't display the Marcus drumline's actuall capabilties very accuratly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membername Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah Martin won the best drumline caption at Birdville, but Collyville Heritage won the music caption in prelims...so I wouldn't get too cocky. Â Reagan congrats on a great season and a wonderful show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disappearer221 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Seeing how this thread started as a query about Reagan's music selection, I have no idea how this puerile bashing of the Marcus drumline, a class act group, started. Some people need to grow up. Â But the reason I am posting is to contribute my two cents to the discussion on whether Reagan "actually played" the pieces. Montoya's post says it all. The show is basically a set of themes used as a point for a myriad of variations. A strikingly simlilar process was used by Hindemith to compose "Symphonic Metamporphois." The main themes of S.M. are based on piano pieces by Carl Maria Von Veber. Hindemith kept many of the themes almost verbatim, but added much more sophisticated harmonies. Â So my question is, why would someone want to hear a complete orchestral piece on the marching band field? Extensive alteration is necessary in almost every case to make it fit the idiom. It just so happens that Reagan's arranger is an amazing composer, who basically performed a "metamorphosis on a metamorphosis." I dont think it gets much cooler than that. Â By the way, I think its funny that the poster who was arguing that they didnt "play the pieces" has a blue devils logo on their signature, because Blue Devils 03 is another great example of a "fantasy on the themes of..."

mbui Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 It was a synthesizer. Â I agree, outstanding music. My all-time favorite show. The climax at the end of the show from Love Actually's "Prime Minister's Love Theme"...... Â *chills* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
