In true form with the Blue Devils' experimental nature, their 1991 show paid tribute to the Stan Kenton Jazz Orchestra, notorious in their own era for using mellophoniums (a remarkable chimera of a French horn with a forward-pointing mellophone bell).

The main theme of La Strada (1954) is a wistful theme first played by the Fool, then later adopted by Gelsomina onto her trumpet. In its final appearance, the leitmotif is sung by a woman who tells the strongman Zampano of Gelsomina’s fate after he abandoned her.

Spooky scary marimbas / send shivers down your spine.

Issues with playback?

The audio editor and queue are behaving strangely and I can’t tell if some of the audio files have uploaded correctly. If there’s a post that seems to play only a blank track, please let me know with an ask or by dropping a message here!

Janina Gavankar on #JustAddDrumCorps: 

I’ve been in love with drum corps since I was 13 years old. The level of musicianship, precision - the passion - grabbed me and ingrained a work ethic in my brain. 

I’ve been wanting to get back to my roots.
