MadisonBandMan1 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I think Blue coats are doing "Creep" Why do you think that? They have been doing that song at all of their camps because that is one of their corps songs. It’s a song everyone recognizes them by.

MadisonBandMan1 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Boston Crusaders 2019 — “Goliath”The Biblical account of David and Goliath is a classic lesson of courage, wisdom and perseverance. Today, the phrase “David and Goliath” refers to an underdog scenario; a competition where a smaller, weaker opponent faces a much larger and stronger adversary. Through careful planning and enormous human will, the “David” character finally defies overwhelming odds to emerge victorious.The Boston Crusaders display and develop the inherent drama and emotion of this underdog story. Drawing on familiar themes from literature and film, contrast and scale literally and figuratively set the stage for this epic portrayal. The 2019 production delivers a powerful combination of variety and conceptual continuity while guiding viewers through the life-long process of innocence, preparation, and conflict to arrive at the ultimate moment of truth.Repertoire Includes:Enough of Our Machines – Son LuxEverybody Wants to Rule the World – Tears for Fears (Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley, Chris Hughes)On the Shoulders of Giants – Peter GrahamGiant Steps – John ColtraneMy Shot – Lin-Manuel MirandaFanfare for Rocky – Bill ContiOnce Upon a Castle – Michael Daugherty MikeKyu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadisonBandMan1 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Boston is known for their exceptionally emotional shows, and this one will not disappoint. Can't wait to see what they have for the field this year, especially after constantly hearing how insane their brass line is this year.

MadisonBandMan1 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 BEHOLDA STORY OF POWER AND EQUALITYThe Cadets are proud to present their 2019 production Behold. The show illuminates the struggle to attain power, keep power, and ultimately, the power of equality. Libby Larson’s 'Fanfare for the Women' opens the show and celebrates the powerful, intelligent, and brave women of the past; personified by a single character, the Queen.“Behold is, by definition, a command for respect and is often used to introduce something remarkable or impressive. The design team wanted to honor the remarkable story of resilience, strength, unity, and healing for The Cadets and for all women in our activity and our country, as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of women in The Cadets in 2019,” said Darcie Aungst, Program Coordinator. “I was intrigued by women in history who lead entire nations as far back as Ancient Egypt and Rome; often pondering the question, what happened? Why in 2019 is it a struggle? This show explores that history and those questions. Behold tells a tale of female strength and leadership, the ugliness of jealousy, discrimination, and power when it is held over others. The show points triumphantly to images and sounds of true equality and opportunity for everyone regardless of gender, race, orientation, identity, or ethnicity. Shattering the glass ceiling opens opportunities for everyone who has been told they are ‘less than’ and leaves our world a better place for future generations. Behold the power of unity, of equality, and of The Cadets!”'Just' by David Lang and 'Blueprint' by Caroline Shaw soon follow as we see and hear cracks in the palace which signal the end of the Queen’s reign. The breakdown is followed by the chaos that occurs within a complete vacuum of power. 'Dance 1' of the Estancia Orchestral Suite by Alberto Ginastera then sets the scene as the corps breaks into tribes with the intent of taking power from others. Divided by their differences, everything is destroyed.'Bridge Over Troubled Water' by Paul Simon washes over the corps as the Queen comes into focus, witnessing the destruction of what she had created by those filled with jealousy. She accepts the destruction wrought by those who stole from her and begins to heal her people, bringing them together, and undertakes the rebuilding so that they can move forward. She both heals and passes the torch so that future generations can have a better life.Following the healing of the past, the future generation gets the opportunity to do and be anything they want. 'Do Better' is an original piece by Tom Aungst, Omar Carmenates, and Brandon Carrita that is meant to be a playful, modern, young, and fresh take on the concept that anything you can do, I can do better. If the past generation does something; we want the future generation to do even better. The finale from David Maslanka’s 4th Symphony provides an emotional, glorious, and majestic closer where the diverse women and men of the corps stream forward to shatter the glass ceiling. This act empowers people who were never before given a chance to step up and lead. With this diversity of gender, identity, race, ethnicity, orientation, and age comes new ideas, innovations, celebrations, and respect.

aaron067 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 The Cadets show reeks of politics, both internal and polarizing cultural issues. Why, oh why, do they feel the need to bring those things onto the marching field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanderMomma Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I am really excited to see this come to the field especially with the large strides they have been making the last few years. Me too!!! We have a Leander kid (‘17 grad) in BAC this year; and I still get chills when I watch the ballad from their 2017 show. I simply can not wait to see them this year!
