I added the new Stuff!
Matthew Allan Dec '11
Who knows, maybe "12.25" will surprise us in a good way. Let's not pass a verdict yet.
Jennifer Gordon captainDec '11
A couple of posts have been deleted. Bashing corps and/or their show designs is not tolerated. And besides, it's really rather silly to try to even speculate how shows are going to turn out at this point.

Carry on...
rbbbcbande94 Dec '11
give.cavaliers.org

Cavaliers say donate a dollar and you will find out information on their 2012 show.
Matthew Allan Dec '11
A load of information regarding World Class has been added to CorpsReps.

corpsreps.com/corpsreps.cfm?view=currentyear
Dave Foth captainDec '11
As far as if the Cadets can pull of 12.25 or not- in my mind, if Crown can pull off a show with popular rock music and a theme comparable to a college pep band, any corps can pull off nearly any concept they can think of if they write the show well. The Cadets will be fine.
Jennifer Gordon captainDec '11
The Cavaliers did a Christmas show in the 90s and did well with it, so I don't think the Caets will have too much of a problem.
Riley Callahan Dec '11
I think the Cadets will be fine with their Christmas show. Itll be a good excuse to listen to DCI at Christmas-time! And also, the Cavaliers did a show entitled "Cavalier Anthems" in 1991. It wasn't a Christmas show, but it did have a Christmas song in it.
FabianSR Jan '12
To get an Idea what a full Christmas Show could sound like you may should watch this . They're the current DCE Champion as well youtu.be/v9ddkcxj70w
rbbbcbande94 Jan '12
I don't understand why everyone is so worried DCI has amazing drum corps who could honestly pull off anything if they want to.
Balko37 Jan '12
^we are just so eager to find out what the shows are! XDXDXD
hawk80 Jan '12
I'm really excited about what Academy is going to do this year. I love Stravinsky, not to mention their openers are always EXCELLENT.

Heck, I'm excited about what EVERYONE is doing. :)
Boy Wander Jan '12
Personally, I'm excited about a Christmas type show from The Cadets, if that is what they are planning on doing...but I think I had heard a couple of months ago something about them doing music from Pearl Harbor or something along those lines...was that just hearsay? Thanks.
Mike Hellums Jan '12
That was a working title. They changed there minds a few times since then. 12.25 has been officially announced.
John Davis Jan '12
Do you know if Genesis' show's "Someone Like You" is by Adele?
Abel Aguilar Jan '12
@John Davis
Someone Like You will be the sort of underlying theme in the show just like Send In The Clowns in last year's Genesis production. :)
John Davis Jan '12
Oh ok. I was just wondering haha
the epic show Jan '12
Here is a paragraph written on the Cavaliers' homepage:

"Like many non-profits, 2011 presented the corps with a number of challenges, but that didn't stop The Cavaliers from having a XtraordinarY year.

The truth is, we need your help to start the year strong, and we're asking you to donate any amount that's right for you and your family.

In this challenging economy, The Cavaliers remain committed to providing incredible, life-changing experiences for our members, as well as entertaining and inspiring fans across the country--a commitment we've upheld since 1948.

We have exciting things planned for 2012, and we are counting on you to help make an IMPACT."

On the actual site, the words "XtraordinarY" and "IMPACT" are in bold and highlighted green. No other words in this paragraph are in green or bold. It seems like a subtle hint to their 2012 show. Maybe "IMPACT" is the title of their show?
Dale Grimm Jan '12
hey everyone, been a LONG while since i was on here. these sound like great shows!XD
Landry Kendrick Jan '12
@ John, I bet its a hint, maybe not a show title. I'm betting the actual title is a little more elaborate knowing their show style. :)
John Davis Jan '12
Yeah. We'll see I guess!
Nate Hoppel Jan '12
I am PUMPED about Regiment, as usual! I am also REALLY looking forward to SCV with Eric Whitacre music! The Chorale here at Lee has sung many songs by him, including "Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine", and I can't wait to see it on the field. Gonna be a good year! :)

Corps can really touchy if info is released early, so please don't post anything unless it's been posted by the corps.
I've deleted a few posts because of that. Thanks.
jgriff17 Feb '12
@Landry Kendrick- I Found them on a different drum corps forum website called: Drum Corps Planet but when I went back the Cascades and SOA stuff wasn't there. Confusing. But the Cadets Do You Hear What I Hear is on youtube.
jgriff17 Feb '12

Ben Zein Feb '12

I CANNOT wait for PC, Troopers, BK, Academy, SOA and Oregon Crusaders this year! THANK GOD I'm in a corps that opens up DCI Southeast!

As for Cadets, I love Christmas music. It's probably the best blend of dark and triumphiant styles out there that I can think of. And if any corps can pull off the "interesting" concepts out there, it's the Cadets.
samdog83 Mar '12
I believe Minnesota Brass is doing a, "Bonnie & Clide" production.

I can't say what the Raiders show is yet... But I can tell you that it's all original music written by Key Poulan himself! There is also a very intriguing hint for the theme of the show on the Raiders website as well. ;)
Landry Kendrick Mar '12
Sounds like Spirit's playing Mackey's "Harvest" based on their latest camp video, if not it sounds REALLY similar. (Bluecoats played it last year).

You can hear it in their last camp update:

Any word on the Blue Stars yet? Have they released anything to the public yet about their show theme?
Dave Foth captainMar '12
Yes and no, but it’s better to keep it quiet for now.
Alec Rodriguez Mar '12
I love that the boston crusaders are doing the pines of rome. that song is so beast

Anthony Wolcott Apr '12
DCA Corps Alliance will not be fielding this year :(
Vincent Pezza Apr '12
Are you serious?! Why?!
Jennifer Gordon captainApr '12
Lack of membership, and membership committing too late due to involvement in winter groups.
Anthony Wolcott Apr '12
^Jennifer hit it. Or at least thats what I've heard. I'm sad about it but hey, things happen.
John Davis Apr '12
I'm kinda pumped for BK's show this year! Anyone else?
I am!
antonio33 Apr '12
I am part of the Genesis hornline. I'll tell you guys now, WE ARE GOING TO BRING IT THIS SEASON!
percussionkid Apr '12
Revolution Drum and Bugle Corps presents their 2012 production, “Shattered.”

shat-ter-ed: [shat-erd]
· broken in pieces, damaged (as by breaking or crushing), impaired, destroyed, or refuted (ideas, opinions, etc)

Featuring music by Philip Glass, David Gillingham, Trading Yesterday, Joseph Brackett, W.A. Mozart, and O. Respighi.

Straight from Revolutions website.
Landry Kendrick Apr '12
Very interested to see where Revolution goes with the staff changes. Their drumline was pretty smokin.
percussionkid Apr '12
Agreed. I was supposed to be marching with them this year actually, but some stuff came up and I couldn't.

Their music selections over the past few years have been fantastic, and those this year seem just as interesting.
x5y0z3 Apr '12
The Closer for the Academy is "The Song of Purple Summer," from the musical Spring Awakening
Landry Kendrick Apr '12
^ Aren't they using Rite of Spring as well?
CavieCabCadets Apr '12
Raiders will have the greatest show in DCI history!
John Davis Apr '12
Just heard the Blue Knights' closer and let me just say...you guys will not be disappointed!
Dave Foth captainApr '12
Interesting, I noticed on the DCI schedule that Revolution hasn’t signed up for any shows. Anyone know what’s up with that?
Landry Kendrick Apr '12
They had some staff stuff go on at the end of last year that was pretty huge, probably just making 100% sure that the corps was going to field this year I suppose. That's just an assumption though, don't take my word for it.
Dan Balash Apr '12
Revolution and Forte are still under DCI evaluation due to the changes in corps direction for both. Pending approval, both will be added to the schedule.
Dave Foth captainApr '12

^ Paparazzi...o.o Lady Gaga...o.o
Dave Foth captainApr '12
If you’re talking about the Paparazzi the Cavies are playing, it’s not the Lady Gaga version.
John Davis Apr '12
Isn't Stefani Germanotta Lady Gaga?
Dave Foth captainApr '12
Oh yes haha, I guess I never realized that...
Justin Ekstrom Apr '12
That should be very interesting... :D
John Davis Apr '12
Yeah my friend told me that. Haha I guess they're all songs having to do with some sort of fame theme. "15 Minutes of Fame"
jgriff17 Apr '12
Wow that Cavies will be SICK!
Matthew Allan Apr '12
Crossmen:

crossmen.org/page25917916

It almost seems like a variation of their 1992 show (which was great btw).
RyanMeadows Apr '12
Awwww! You beat me to it, Matthew! Well the songs that Crossmen are performing in the 2012 production, "Fragile" are:

“Earth Song” by Michael Jackson

“Wailers/PD7” Interweaving of Bobby McFerrin’s "Wailers" and Anoushka Shankar’s "PD7"

“Here Comes the Flood” Peter Gabriel

“Finding and Believing” Pat Metheny

Go Bones!
Landry Kendrick Apr '12
Crossmen screams crowd favorite to me this year. Can't wait!

Justin Ekstrom Apr '12
Rick Roll on Finals night. I'm calling it.
hawk80 Apr '12
^ Haha, that'd be great. XD
Jennifer Gordon captainApr '12
Once again a very out-there-yet-intriguing-and-i show from BD. Mona Lisa with a shako is an interesting site. :-)
Keyo Wilson Apr '12
So if you are confused and wondering what to expect from Blue Devils this year, here are some clues:

"art could elicit audience response, be it shock or conspiratorial amusement."

"militarized duty-bound masculinity contrasted with a complete disregard for the rules..."

" improvisation"

"deliberate juxtaposition of uncoordinated actions"

"delight in the chaotic"

" irreverently iconoclastic"

This sounds like a ground breaking show to me, one that people will remember and talk about for years to come. Mark my words...this show will join the ranks of Garfield Cadets 1984, Star of Indiana 1993, Cavaliers 2002, Cadets 2005...Blue Devils 2012 will join the list.
Landry Kendrick Apr '12
^ I totally agree. This sounds intriguing, inspiring, intellectual, and just AMAZING. I'm really really really excited to see this show.

bluedevils.org/programs/a/2012/repertoire.php

^ There is the show announcement from their website.

"Cabaret Voltaire"

•Tristan Writes a Manifesto
"Harmonielehre" John Adams
"Morrison Mania" James Horner
"The Children's Hour of Dream" Charles Mingus
"Symphonies: V" Andre Souris

•Marcel Paints a Moustache

•Man Ray Makes a Metronome
"Ballet Mecanique" George Antheil

•Gertrude Writes a Play
Music from "The Artist"
Dr. Bones
"New Arrival" Danny Elfman
"Tevot" Thomas Ades

I think I found my hype corps for 2012.
massexodus Apr '12
2012 is going to be a great year for drum corps. Every corps show sounds amazing! Really excited for this year!
jgriff17 Apr '12
Corps shows I like already:
Cavs
Cadets
Blue Stars
Phantom Regiment
SCV
Boston Crusaders

Corps I'm not sure about yet but sound like they have potential:
Bluecoats
Troopers
Scouts
Tromboon Apr '12
Wow, I normally despise Blue Devils shows but since 2010; their shows have been REALLY cool. I'm actually excited for them this year!
LeojoCrazy Apr '12
Cavaliers - 15 Minutes of Fame!
Matt Wasson Apr '12
Harmonielehre ahhhhh is life real?
Boy Wander Apr '12
Wow. This really seems like a really neat theme Blue Devils have going this season.

Seeing as how Blue Devils' shows have been predominantly music-based shows with not as much drill as some other corps, and have still been successful, this looks like a show they can win with. I am wondering now if their drill is going to be as ground-breaking as their music promises to be.

I am really excited about this show, as I'm sure the music alone will knock the socks off of people! :-D
Landry Kendrick Apr '12
According to Drum Corps World 2012 issue:

Carolina Crown: "For the Common Good"

- Dreams: Bernard Moren

hawk80 Apr '12
I love the picture of Mona Lisa on the Blue Devils' site XD. It looks awesome.
Is it just me, or are the designers for the Blue Devils extremely intelligent people? Their themes are normally never quite simple are they?
Boy Wander May '12
hawk, you are right - they always come up with some really, really neat concepts - also very abstract at times, such as last summer's show.
jgriff17 May '12
@tromboon. I loved 2011 but otherwise I just never get the BD shows. They aren't really easy to understand

As much as she freaks me out (lol), some of her music could be VERY entertaining on the field. I'm kinda excited to get some new stuff out there! Stuff like firebird, ect, are getting kinda old.
John Davis May '12
Dood...o.o this year's going to be interestingly awesome!

Somewhere between fantasy and reality lies the possibility to achieve that, which may initially appear unattainable. Whether through discovery of natural ability or by making extreme sacrifices, human beings are individually and collectively capable of super-human achievements. Performing their program based on Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for The Common Man and Bertrand Moren’s Dreams, Carolina Crown 2012 presents: For the Common Good.

For 2012, The Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps brings you their production..."Warped". Imagine coming out of a door onto a road that constantly changes your perspective of reality. The journey down the pathway continuously brings you to new places, where everything you see or do is affected and warped by the trail. As the show continues, the road changes frequently, so trying to figure out if we are in an area of clarity or distortion can only be determined by the passageway itself

So get ready to follow the Raiders on a WARPED journey to places unknown
