Open Class BLUE DEVILS C Concord, CA • bluedevils.org THE GREATEST SHOW ON TURF To help conjure the celebratory atmosphere and hair-raising thrills of a circus performance, the Blue Devils’ youngest group taps into a multicultural mix of music. Pieces include Czech composer Julius Fucik’s “Entry of the Gladiators,” Ukrainian composer Nikolai Pavlovich Budashkin’s “Fantasy on Two Folk Songs,” Mexican composer Juventino Rosas’ “Sobre las Olas (Over the Waves),” and an original work by corps brass arranger John M. Meehan. Director Rick Odello BLUE SAINTS Sudbury, ON • bluesaints.com STRANDED Getting to a chosen destination isn’t always as easy as we’d like. As they try to cope with severe travel problems, the Blue Saints skillfully combine John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” “Dies Irae” from Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem, two pieces by Philip Glass (“Truman Sleeps” from The Truman Show soundtrack and “Lightning”), and an original by program coordinator Jordan Alvey, brass arranger Todd Schultz, and front ensemble consultant Chris Scarberry. Director Mark Ripley CITY SOUND Long Beach, CA • city-sound.org SOUNDS OF OUR CITY Founded in 1997 to offer teens and young adults from dif- ferent cultural background a positive outlet, City Sound’s primary goal is to “steer our kids away from street violence, provide them with an excellent performing arts educa- tion, and create a place of refuge from the everyday problems that our young adults face,” says corps director and founder Nathaniel Lewis. The group made its Drum Corps International debut in 2010. Director Nathaniel Lewis GOLD San Diego, CA • golddrumcorps.org REEL TO REAL Drum corps performance and the movies have a lot in common with each other. Most important, both revolve around motion. With stylized choreography and powerful music, Gold now brings the excitement of the silver screen to the field. Brass designer Scott Director has composed three original pieces for this purpose, and their titles—“Lights,” “Camera,” and “Action”—are perfectly appropriate for such a cin- ematic spectacle. Director Dr. Donald Flaherty IMPULSE Buena Park, CA • impulseyoutharts.org TRIBUTE Paying tribute to someone means showing them proper respect, and this season Impulse doffs its hat to three formidable composers. Pieces include the fourth movement of Symphony No. 3 by Vittorio Giannini, “Variations on a Korean Folk Song” by James Barnes Chance, and four works by the great Aaron Copland: “Corral Nocturne” and “Hoe-Down” from Rodeo, “The Red Pony,” and “Fanfare for the Common Man.” Director Omar Vidana 137

Open Class LES STENTORS Sherbrooke, QC • stentors.net SHOW TBA One of two Open Class Corps from north of the border, Québec Canada’s Les Stentors have been a group on the rise since returning to Drum Corps International competition in 2008 after a hiatus. After finishing 22nd that year, the corps improved to 17th in 2009 before posting a strong 14th-place result at last year’s Semifinals. This may be the year that Les Stentors make their first trip to the Open Class Finals. Director François Bernier PLATINUM Raleigh, NC • platinumdrumcorps.org THE LETTER For its second season in Open Class, “the South’s newest star” delves into a production that explores the forces of passion, darkness, and strength, giv- ing them all the Platinum touch. The action on the field is woven together with an intriguing trio of musical compositions: Leonard Bernstein’s “On the Waterfront,” Percy Grainger’s “Horkstow Grange” (from Lincolnshire Posy), and David Holsinger’s “Liturgical Dances.” Director Steve McKeiver RACINE SCOUTS Racine, WI • racinescouts.com RESURRECTION The drama of attaining life after death lies at the center of this spir- itual program by America’s longest-running junior drum and bugle corps. John Rutter’s “Requiem Aeternam” by John Rutter, “Dies Irae” by Giuseppe Verdi, “Ave Maria” by Charles Gounod, and “The Ascension” by Robert W. Smith provide the musical back- drop for a journey out of darkness and into new life that takes us through the full spec- trum of human emotion. Director Jonathan Belott SPIRIT OF NEWARK/NJ Newark, NJ • spiritofnewark.org SPANISH FLAVORS In commemoration of its 21st year as a drum corps, the Spirit of Newark infuses its 2011 program with a distinctive spiciness and tang that evokes images of the Iberian peninsula. Music includes Ernesto Lecuona’s classic “Malagueña,” three pieces by Chick Corea (“Spain,” “My Spanish Heart,” “Spanish Fantasy”), two pieces by Chuck Mangione (“A Land of Make Believe,” “Children of Sanchez”), and Bill Holman’s “Malaga.” Director Harold Wright SANTA CLARA VANGUARD CADETS Santa Clara, CA • scvanguard.org BALANCE After a silver-medal finish in 2009 and opting not to travel to Indianapolis in 2010 for the World Championships, SCV Cadets return to the big event in 2011 with a program based on “Balancing Acts,” a suite by brass composer Key Poulan, front ensemble composer Nate Bourg, and percussion composer Murray Gussek. The four “acts” are 1) Symmetry, 2) Equilibrium, 3) Harmony, and 4) Equality. Director Rob Nieves 139
