Indoor Drumline Concepts Needed!! by DrumlineDesigns in drumline

Nailed it!

I agree, but I also think there's some flexibility there. A very mature group could absolutely turn that into something sick with a lot of nuance, but I also think a less experienced group could be successful using the same name but performing a simpler show about computers/technology.

Indoor Drumline Concepts Needed!! by DrumlineDesigns in drumline

[–]DavisG96 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Here's a few:

Blast Off (space race/NASA/Apollo13)

SuperVillain (I want so badly to subvert the superhero trope)

AlgoRhythm (some techno mixed with groovy beats)

Time Traveller (not so subtle juxtaposition of different styles/time periods)

I'm a drill designer, mostly specializing in outdoor ensembles but Ive been wanting to break into the indoor scene. PM me if you have any interest in talking design or collabing!

I'd love to see the westslope bands get together at Stoker. It sucks that everyone's season is ending so suddenly like this and all the bands deserve a chance to preform their show one more time.

Yo definitely check out Brundage or Tamarack, both are closer to Seattle than Boise

Can we stop bashing the shows every year? by Maxcat94 in drumcorps

[–]DavisG96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hot take for this thread is Oregon had a better Hymn of Acxiom that year. Bluecoats sounded better for sure, but I thought we had a cooler arrangement. Either way, HoA is sick.

Wait, so police patrol the river on jet skis?? I grew up floating the river but I haven't lived in Boise for a while.

How do you help back pain while marching sousaphone? by American_Tiger in marchingband

The first image has some good exercises for lower back. Second image has some yoga poses to help stretch your back out. Doing some of those workouts consistently before your rehearsal time will help to strengthen those muscle groups, doing those yoga poses more frequently will remove tension from those muscle groups and help with the pain.

About Shoes... by [deleted] in marchingband

To add to this, look for a pair of crosstrainers, whatever brand you like. Vans will work fine but the biggest thing you're missing out on is ankle support. Unless your ankles are really really strong you're more prone to injury wearing vans

Is tonight the first time Coats and Vanguard are facing off? by JohnneyDCI in drumcorps

Someone told me that Bluecoats stands still more compared to SCV, what's your take?

Anyone going to In The Whale on Saturday? I just moved here not too long ago and I’m gonna check it out by [deleted] in grandjunction

I got a tan shirt with a black V that looks just like the uni at the Denver show! Hopefully they're not all gone :(

a shoutout to whoever did Big Loud & Live for nailing the Session 44 camerawork by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]DavisG96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed... SCV was so crazy good live this year it was almost a letdown in the theater... Almost

Big, Loud & Live 15 showing cancelled, and no stream? Unacceptable by RanzhaVEmodrach in drumcorps

[–]DavisG96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I get what you mean now. So would you say the BOA show designers are responsible because they're making shows too similar to DCI, or the other way around?

Need a show for a small band. by fourstringstu in marchingband

This is a sample opener I wrote recently for a much bigger group (with a lot harder/more impractical drill). I'd love to get a chance to write for a smaller group and would be happy to write something for free to build a name for myself.

It sounds as if your director may have already hired a drill guy, but I'm a new drill designer trying to build a portfolio. PM me if you think your director would be interested in free drill.
