    There was a show choir who also did a 9/11 show, the Carmel Ambassadors. They started out with New York, New York, then they blew up the towers with pyrotechnics. Then they put on filthy tattered versions of their previous costumes, by the end they were singing “Light ‘em up” in front of footage of the Navy raiding Bin Laden’s compound. I was a volunteer at my school’s show choir comp and I thought my friend was just joking when he said Carmel had a 9/11 show. It was awful. It’s been 7 years and I still can’t believe they did it. It felt like a 30 Rock joke, I don’t know how it got through so many levels and nobody said no. They’ve since been trying to wipe every trace of that show off the internet, but you can still see it.

    No. They did not take it too far. Played "Flight Of Valor" by James Swearingen a couple of years ago for Veterans Day Concert. It was about Flight 93. As long as the performance doesn't mock the tragedy (whatever it may be) I'm all right with it.

    One of the best Madison Scouts shows (2011) was a 9/11 show. It is interesting to me how many people had this go right over their heads. I even remember someone on DCP commenting why do drum corps shows insist on having storylines and why can’t they just play good music like Madison. I pointed out their show had one of the most explicit storylines that year, including the collapsing towers done in drill. Just because a show doesn’t have narration doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a story.

    • @NapoleonicSoundArts
      @NapoleonicSoundArts 5 місяців тому +2

      That show was one of the most difficult, and important, shows I've been fortunate to perform in. The corps even visited the 9/11 memorial and museum, along with the 9/11 Tribute museum during the tour that summer. We sang the corps song at Ground Zero.
      Thank you for remembering it.

    I have to say, I'm not a big follower of indoor percussion but there are shows that wow us, and shows that put us to sleep. There are themes about war, death, Greek tragedy, etc., etc. Overall this was actually a nice show and musically they brought it, especially for early in the season. Having said all that, the theme is a bit odd and of course not all will like it.

      my school was "famous" for doing dark shows. ("famous" because noones famous in HS, but we were also 8 time TCGC PSW champion and 2 time WGI PSW Finalists) Our shows included "This Great Imbalance," about imbalance of power and other things in the world, "All is Vanity," I THINK is about people who are always unhappy, and all we need to "be happy" is more of what we already have. "Trafficked Innocence" WOAH. "Genocide." Just straight up genocide. "Restricted," basically the marching show concept, which was about oppression. People who like NSSH, however, forget that this was the OG show. "Year Zero" kinda confused on this one. Maybe it uses "Year Zero" by Ghost? That would make this a DARK dark show, so I don't know. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" This has sound clips of Hitler, Trump, and the floor is literally a globe that's a red ocean and yellow land. "Only If For A Night" I don't think this was normal, dark show. Maybe F+TM? 2019's show title is probably lost to history I don't think they were champions 2018 or '19, so that sucks. 2020 and 2021 were the same show (thanks, COVID), and oh. my. gosh. "Desensitized" is probably my favorite indoor show that my school did. It's a show about a school shooting, and wow is it awesome writing. 2022 and forward, eh. We won 2022 with "Mirage" which was a show about a mirage... and the mirage was there being... a mirage. The building was real, and I'm upset I was tasked to build the prop they used, which was NOT constructed well. Gorilla tape on flag silks and a frame. Ew. "What About Us," was a show about inequality, which I actually really liked. This year was called "Awakening" and was well written, but after we went to PSO, it kinda went downhill for us.

    No they did *not* go too far. This shouldn't even be a question.
    My high school's winterguard made a swastika form during a narrative excerpt of "The Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes at the end of their show. This was in 1993 or 1994, I can't recall which. It didn't even raise a question or a single complaint!
    Some not-so-fun facts:
    1) Just in the US, the CDC estimates that *over 1300 people die of tobacco-related illnesses EVER. SINGLE. DAY.*
    yet somehow
    2) Altria, formerly known as Philip-Morris Cos., is still a publicly corporation with value. Unlike in Grisham's book "The Runaway Jury" they did not, repeat *not* get sued into insolvency. They're still trading! They're still selling a product we KNOW kills people! WHY?!?
    After 9/11/2001 we bombed the shit out of Iraq, which had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, and after tragically and needlessly losing God knows how many American soldiers' lives in the doing.... somehow we are still on good terms with Saudi Arabia, which very likely *orchestrated* those same attacks (AND much more recently Kashoggi's murder, but that's a whole other conversation). Let's hope fusion power and EVs (non-Musk) get us to a point where we can tell the Saudis to pound sand..... but DAMN.
    We need to get over 9/11 and move the fuck on.
    There. I said it.

    Idk what to think of this, but I’ve definitely seen better performed art about that event. My example is Come From Away, which is a musical about the aftermath of that day. They never try to recreate the towers falling or anything that could come across as cheesy, since we all know what happened, and each time the topic is directly addressed it is addressed like a tragedy, with the music only helping that.
    It seems like this medium is much harder to convey those sorts of emotions through percussion and without dialogue, so this performance left me confused as to what they were trying to accomplish other than say “Do you remember this happening?”

    I feel like chops just don’t go with 9/11. I don’t understand why common core is talking about 9/11 like it’s something in the far past. We were never taught about Challenger exploding as if it was ancient history, like they’re teaching about 9/11 in schools nowadays. This just doesn’t seem appropriate as a way to demonstrate chops. Just like with the Holocaust one, I think some stage directors are a little confused about whether this is a dance show or a marching band. The throwing the “ashes” also looks a lot more like they’re playing with it, I’m not sure what they’re supposed to be representing with that. It also is treating 9/11 as if it was literally only about the towers collapsing and not the massive terrorist attack. The Holocaust one at least felt more sensitive to the victims and the history. This feels just like “buildings collapse, what a metaphor,” like a 20 year old who wasn’t even alive yet wrote this. It’s like they went too far and not far enough.

      They should've had the towers collapse in the show, but did more to show that as a united country, we came back, we became strong again and didn't let it destroy who we were. They could've made it about coming back together after tragedy as a community. The ashes always on the floor, as it is something that is never to be forgotten
      Make it less about the incident and more about how it affected the country and how all of our differences were thrown aside

    I think if the season didn't end early the i think they could have done a little better with the visual give 8.6 out 10 for that considering what happened latter in the season but i think it was good i think they try too let people know never get no matter what 🙍 the day that changed America😢

    Shows are supposed to be provocative. Do you really want shows to not challenge you at all, make you think critically? Personally, I'm tired of vanilla shows telling me basic messages. And we all watch tik toks, movies, and shows that have much more controversial/violent themes, so this being "too dark" is not a valid excuse at all.

    I don't much difference between this and The Cadets 2002 show. (Possibly my favorite DCI show of all time) Now if tbey had planes and actually pushed over the buildings that would have probably been too far.
