“If you’ve seen “Spartacus” — if you haven’t, go watch it, fall in love with this beautiful activity all over again, and then come back and keep reading — think about that show for a minute. Other than a brief opening moment and prior to the ballad, when is there a truly resounding impact melody in that show? Even the ballad itself is only half of a true pay-off.”
I was watching the Drum Corps International finals with some friends last night and all around there were some great shows, my personal favorites were Carolina Crowns-“Promethean”, Phantom Regiment-“Mynd”, Troopers-“Dance With the Devil” and, Mandarins-“Vieux Carré”
BUT
Blue Devils-“The Romantics” had music from howls moving castle soooo
(I would recommend looking all of these up on YouTube)
((+the Blue Devils-“Bust” was super cool to see as they are located really close to where I grew up up, and I even had some friends march with them this year!!!))
being in marching band and not knowing how DCI works/competitions in general is the funniest thing ever
you have friends who are so excited to go to this huge competition and youre just like “im so happy for you and all of that, i dunno what a fucking prelim is”
