well... i guess the effect of water can be used to make your show the awesomest thing to hit the field... and maybe sabotage another corps...
but that ain't right i think most can agree rain is bad enough when you are on the drumline and drum sticks start becoming more and more hard to hold on to and drum heads start sounding like poo!

Either way, this show has much potential. I can imagine lots of percussive elements throughout the show. And definitely an awesome horn ballad. Perhaps the closer will be sort of a "victory march" for surviving the storm?

Definitely agree on the ballad, should be sweet. I don't know about the closer. My guess would be something remorseful, but triumphant. Kinda of like "Elegy for a Young American" or "Lonely Beach"

The show sounds exciting. But does it have anything to do with John Meehan's show of the same name?

I would have to say that I doubt it, they might use some quotes from it, but I would guess mostly original music. Possibly some classical influence.

Thank you for no rain props can ruin a show so easily i hate when ensembles try to buy there scores i saw a high school laster with a 100 foot tall infaltable statue of liberty uhhhh made me sick if you need props to show the meaning of your show your not being true musicains of actors for the matter and i thing the promise of living by aaron copland would be an awesome intro for the strom and perhaps strom by craig armstrong for a middle i think that be awesome pesonally

OK, I would have watched th 05 show before making the props comment. In 05 CR had a rather large and symbolic prop on the field. Also, I think the use of water would have been better to create music affects, such as rain, dripping, rolling water, etc. I'm really hoping for some serious rain stick action in the pit for a show called the storm. As for your musical selections, I like those, sounds like they'd be cool.

My problem with props is not in the show it is transporting them taking them apart and loading them in the equipment truck and then unloading them and puting them togther and taking them to the field. I hated the props Pioneer used last year and so did everyone on truck loading.

i have been meaning to ask this since you marched Pioneer. Did you know one of the cymbals players, Austin Glass?

I do agree with the "props are a hassle" style comments right now. My senior year at my HS we did a show called "Midnight in Transylvania" by the guy who writes music for SCV. My director decided it would be cool to put Carfax Abbey (Dracula's London home) on the field. It was massive, ending up stretching from I think 40 to 40, maybe 35 to 35. It added a lot, but was a huge hassle. Not to mention it took he and I about two weeks of 3 hours a day working on it to out it together.
