The Academy Tempe, AZ I arizonaacademy.org Willkommen to Café Academé! In the style of cabarets and burlesque from the old world to today, the Academy’s emcee, Pianoman, will lead fans on a journey through 20th century music. Anything can happen at the cabaret, and often does! The wild atmosphere we came to know from John Kander’s score to the movie “Cabaret” paid hom- age to 1920s Berlin. Thus begins Pianoman’s jour- ney. Along the way we will experience the fun and chaotic times of Kurt Weill and Dmitri Shostakovich, and Marlene Dietrich will remind us what it takes to fall in love, even in the middle of all the madness. Along life’s journey we laugh, we love and we fight. But in the end, Billy Joel reminds us that the best of times are when we all sing along with Pianoman.

Blue Devils Concord, CA I bluedevils.org Almost no musical work has had such a powerful influence or evoked as much controversy as Igor Stravinsky’s ballet score The Rite of Spring. With its provocative choreography and violently passionate music, the work’s May 29, 1913, premiere was scan- dalous. It also represents a milestone in the development of modernism through which art and life both become a matter of energy and are fused as one. The 2013 Blue Devils join the centennial cele- bration of this landmark work with The re:Rite of Spring. From classical to jazz to primal rhythms and beyond, the defending World Class Champions explore the living, breathing robustness of organic design and perfor- mance, using Rite of Spring source material (arranged by Darryl Brenzel and Don Sebesky) to create an extraordinary terrain of audio and visual imagination.

Everything tries to be round. The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars.” The corps will express that circular concept through the music of Clyde Otis, Jay Bocook, Ralph Hardimon and Pat Metheny, using famil- iar themes to examine the ongoing progres- sion of nature—the loop in all things. “Life isn’t always about the severity of the bookends. Sometimes it’s just a simple piece of the middle where memories are made.” NoBeginningNoEnd This Bitter Earth by Clyde Otis Circle One by Jay Bocook, Ralph Hardimon First Circle by Pat Metheny 60 2013 DCI Souvenir Yearbook

Blue Stars La Crosse, WI I bluestars.org How far would you go to mend a broken heart? The Blue Stars’ Voodoo: I Put a Spell on You explores this question through the story of a jilted woman, who tries to win back her lover after a rival steals his affections. Tempted to dabble in black magic, she soon descends into the world of voodoo. Anchored by the lush ballad, “I Put a Spell On You,” Blue Stars’ percussion and brass sections will delight the crowd with the authentic sounds of the voodoo culture. The color guard— compelling, intricate and cleverly costumed as always—takes the audience on an emotional journey into the dominion of a voodoo priestess. As the show progresses, the production gets darker and more intense—putting the audience deeper and deeper under its mysterious spell.

Boston Crusaders Boston, MA I bostoncrusaders.com Since evolution from the darkness of a cave, humans have endured obstacles and hurdles. Man is born with a survival instinct that propels him beyond limitations to strive and to RISE. Through time, man overcame the omnipotent power of nature, the forces of evil and hatred, and even the vicious struggle for dominance and power amongst his own. Yet he found a way to overcome weakness, pain, hardship, and domi- nation—he knew he could RISE above it all! The program begins with the shock of catastro- phe. In darkness, the inner spark of hope that never falters helps humanity ascend toward light and to a place of possibilities.The climb contin- ues as love, kindness, friendship, and communi- ty motivate man to welcome new horizons. Although oppression returns with a vengeance; resilience and perseverance prevail, and the indomitable spirit of man will RISE again.

The Cadets Allentown, PA I yea.org/cadets Using the Music of Samuel Barber as a foundation, and the haunting strains of Adagio for Strings as the tapestry that ties it all together, the Cadets explore a variety of cooperative musical and visual concepts—sometimes opposite, sometimes complemen- tary, but always Side By Side. Sixteen 10-foot towers set the stage and define the structure while selections from Barber’s Adagio for Stings, Symphony No. 1, and Medea take us through a variety of emotional dialogues and the program’s concept becomes apparent. The corps begins on two sides of the field (side- by-side) and moves on to explore various concepts and devices including: fast vs. slow, percussion vs. brass, dance vs. equipment, melody vs. disso- nance, and movement vs. stasis. Through these comparisons, all segments of the corps will have an opportunity to entertain and enthrall the audience.

Crossmen San Antonio, TX I crossmen.org Abraham Lincoln once said: “To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.” The Crossmen’s 2013 show asks us to reflect on what we stand for. That powerful question sets the tone of Protest, as the Crossmen celebrate the personal responsibility and commitment behind the liberties that America’s Founding Fathers had envisioned for the nation. “This program will reflect American ideals and those people who had the courage to stand up for what they believed in,” says executive direc- tor Fred Morrison. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King: “We have also come to this hal- lowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquil- izing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.” Protest The Prophet’s Song by Queen She’s Too Good For Me by Sting The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel They Don’t Care About Us by Michael Jackson Some Nights by Fun.

Jersey Surf Camden County, NJ I jerseysurf.org As the only corps in DCI history to earn the coveted Spirit of Disney Award for creative and performance excellence three consecutive seasons, Jersey Surf has earned a reputation for entertaining crowds. Entering its fifth season in the World Class, Jersey Surf goes Soul Surfing in a show inspired by 1970s basement parties and TV dance shows like Soul Train by bringing that old-school party atmosphere to the field with a funk-fuelled set. The term “soul surfing” emerged in the 1960s to describe surfers who balanced their competitive sprit with a pure love of the activity itself, never losing sight of the fun that inspirited them to get involved in the first place. As a part of the corps’ “share the love” philosophy, the members of the 2013 Jersey Surf want to celebrate the joy of performance, inviting the audience along to play a major interactive role and throwing down a good time for all.

Mandarins Sacramento, CA I mandarins.org Calling 2013 “The Year of the Golden Dragon,” Mandarins mark their 50th anniversary this season (30 of them with newly inducted DCI Hall of Fame member Ray Mar at the helm). Tying in the corps’ roots within the Sacramento Chinese-American community, Mandarins will take us on a complex and emotional sojourn in Destination America: Journey of the Paper Sons. In China, as in many foreign countries, America was seen as the land of hope. People willingly left their families, risked dangerous travel, faced prejudice and harsh conditions—all for the promise of a better life. Some Chinese families reported having children, even though none existed. These children who immigrated to America were interrogated upon arrival and were referred to as “Paper Sons.” As the music develops from Asian to American scores, the audience will follow their challenges and triumphs awaiting them on these shores.

Pacific Crest Diamond Bar, CA I pacific-crest.org You’ll notice the word “fix” in the middle of Transfixed. This kind of “fix” means “fasten,” as when you fix your eyes on the clock or fix yourself on a dream that lies within your heart. When you’re transfixed by something, you’re fastened to it. Scary things can transfix you, but so can the beauty of your passion, happiness, and the dream that lives in your heart. When you are transfixed by such beautiful dreams, you follow your heart to the end of the road. This is the journey on which Pacific Crest—cel- ebrating its 20th anniversary—will lead you this summer. It begins with a bright and positive outlook. But the road isn’t always easy. You must overcome struggles and doubts along the way. Yet after breaking through such roadblocks, you will be able to fulfill the dream that trans- fixed you—and experience the joy and happiness that comes from fulfillment.
