Blue Stars 2010 Program will be titled Houdini. Program will be half Phillip Glass, half Original Music. Cadets haven't released certain pieces but they might be using music from this list of composers. Samuel Barber Jay Bocook Howard Hanson Nicholai Rimsky-Korsakov Colts-True Colors Cascades Show will be titled Silver Lining.

It will be titled The Prayer Cycle and will be using the music of Jonathan Elias, Philip Glass and Ron Nelson. Sounds like it could be a good year for the Glassmen. GLASSmen, Phillip GLASS. Punny?

ForteDirector Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Cadets did mention Merry Mount Suite as the possible Hanson tune.. There is some speculation about a children's show of some sort and Barber's piece being the School for Scandal, but that's all rumor right now Quote
eNVy Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) also a rumor, but a some-what reliable source said "Procession of the Nobles, School for Scandal, Merry Mount Suite - in that order. The theme will be along the lines of "Toy Soldiers." also, for blue stars "2010 Blue Stars show titled "Houdini" will be compromised of half original works and the other half, works by Phillip Glass" sounds pretty cool Edited November 26, 2009 by Nick VandenBush Quote
dmbalash Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 The Troopers: "Wanted" Based on the video on their home page. Also, Pacific Crest has announced two more pieces: Machu Picchu, by Satoshi Yagisawa Sam's Gone (from the film "I Am Legend"), by James Newton Howard Quote
dmbalash Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Crossmen: Quote Returning to roots of the past, the Crossmen will perform the music of Pat Metheny in the 2010 Tour Production Quote
takigan Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 A friend of mine who's "camping" Carolina Crown mentioned that their show would be themed "Second Chances" (or a similarly named title) based off their 2nd place finish last year.....the show will feature Second Symphonies of various major composers. Sounds kind of "Rumor-y" to me, but it would be an interesting approach. Quote

And I would love to see them do Barber and Mahlers 2nd. Or Bruckner.....or brahms....the list goes on Quote
takigan Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Just saw the show title on DCP so we can safely assume that's their working title. Oh, and I heard from a very reliable source they are in fact doing Mahler's 2nd . It's kind of surprising how seldom corps program Mahler's music (in comparison to say, another 20th century composer like Barber or Shostakovich), considering how how popular his music is in the orchestral realm (not to mention how German/Wagnerian/bombastic the brass parts tend to be in practice).

It seems like Mahler is somewhat of an untouchable composer in Drum Corps. Hopefully, Crown will bust out a 100-soprano feature! Quote

I would say that Mahler is a 19th century composer, despite the fact that his music didn't really come to prominence until the middle part of the 20th century. He had a few major works stretch into the very early part of the 1900s, but most of his pieces are still anchored pretty heavily in the Romantic period. He definitely prophesies the trend to move away from strict major/minor tonality, but he never ventures into the Neo-classical, Modern, or Atonal areas of composition. I'm certainly no expert on past DCI shows, but I personally recall far fewer corps featuring Romantic period music versus 20th century works. There are definitely standouts, but that period of music just takes a lot more effort to work into a contemporary marching show. Quote
bluebellbrass07 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 when I think of Mahler and drum corps, its hard not to think of phantom 06. one of my favorites Quote
Danpod Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Hopefully, an updated uniform will accompany the Bluecoats 2010 production. Quote

Good show, played very well. But didn't like the arrangement of Mahler 2 in there. And yes, i realize the irony of me saying that. Quote
