I could be wrong, but the shirt might say st baldricks on it, I know a friend who donated hair to them. My guess is that they donated hair and got a shirt
Amazing to watch. This performance gave me a tiny insight into just how much information a conductor gives to their team. Are your movements universal? Could you stand in front of a completely different orchestra and have them play exactly the same? Many thanks, Pete
This is a great example of how luve performances could never truly be replaced buy online and movie theater viewings. We can't all go to Indianapolis, but I highly recommend going to the closest competitions in your area. Nothing like it.
Holy Out Jazz Batman! How did that I missed this until now? I remember the day space chords was started. We were tuning our Timapni at Los Medanos camp in 78 and Frank asked if we wanted to hear something neat. They played this dissonant chord and then Jack did a "Hold My Beer" with it and now his son John took it to the moon and back! What an amazing organization.
Beat My Heart Skipped was by far one of my favorite shows to listen to, like while I'm working out, driving, etc, so it's so cool to see it played again
This is what's called a drum corps. They're the most talented marching bands in the world and have crazy sound. I'd suggest searching up God's Hornline by the Carolina Crown if you want to hear more of this.
To be fair, 2011 was an iconic show that probably would have won against anything but between angels and demons. That show was just so creative and cool.
I'm so glad bd did the beat my heart skipped, it's so warm and relatable compared to their artsy stuff (of which i think they're one of the few corps to do right/tastefully)
Kinda wish we did a transition into some music when I was in the corps in 84....then again, the white noise resolving into a major chord and the "Close Encounters" motif moving through the voices was fun to play.
