i had this trippy dream where this cat was driving me around in an old convertible. Later on it turned into a VW van, and towards the end it was more like a spaceship kinda thing. We were high up looking over the road but the front console was shaped like a van and it still had the convertible top. The guy who was driving me around was an older hipster with a weathered voice, kinda like Lou Reed's. He kind of had some of that vibe like Dennis Hopper. Yeah, like if you could imagine a cross between Lou Reed and Dennis Hopper, that's the dude that was driving. We were heading due north coming up to a stop light. The light was beautiful in the dream, with all that washed out orange. I had this happy feeling in my stomach, but also like this scared feeling that something was gonna happen but i didn't know what. Anyhow, as we approached the light, all of a sudden this cat in a sports car came out of nowhere and just cut us off. My man slammed on the brakes and narrowly averted a mash-up, got my blood boiling, but I wasn't the one driving. Yea so wouldn't you know it we pulled right up behind the cat at the light and there he was, glaring at us through his rearview. He was all like: "Yeah, I cut you off, what are you gonna do about it"? So I said to Lou Reed/Dennis Hopper, I'll just call him Lou now, "Man, aren't you gonna say something to that cat?", But Lou just looked straight ahead and said "You know, man? The only way im gonna put something out there like that, is if i'm ready to dance with that cat. Y'know what i mean? You put something out there and there's consequences. Y'know? All you got are your actions man, and remember, words are actions too, you wanna dance with that dude?". At first i thought he was kind of a bad influence, but he was actually taking care of me, watching my back, talking me down from something. It's funny how sometimes in dreams, you don't realize who's your friend. Looking back, maybe all these different people were you in your dreams, to lead you to good, or even trouble. Yeah, but maybe like that dude in the other car was me as well. Like you got this one part of you that watches out for you, keeps you steady, and this other part that's raging, full of anger. Like old Lou and the crazy dude in the dream, they're all a part of you. Y'know, I think of it like taming a dragon. The crazy dude is the dragon, and if you don't watch out, he'll bite you. Hard. You see, Lou knows about the dragon, he's there to set you straight. You don't try to kill the dragon, you wanna make friends with it, harness it's powers, and use them. But, I only realized that when I woke up.

[@katereilly2472]

Me, coming here to watch this instead of any FloMarching recording of this show because the audio was super crunchy and I need to judge it better

[@robertwrightfonseca]

I get so frustrated watching shows like this because I feel like some of the most incredibly profound and innovative music is made for Marching band, and it makes me think about how cool it would be for the composers to make music like this for orchestra, BUT music with a shit ton of very present horns simply wouldn’t work in an amphitheater; it would be way too intense. So you couldn’t have the intensity that you get in these performances which I feel is just as important as the musicality. Anyway…

[@lucasogden7046]

Could someone help me figure out the story of this? It doesn't make much sense to me.

[@ZakhadWOW]

as the narration says.. it's some dude rambling on (to you, trapped in a hallway/booth at at restaurant, etc) about his "trippy dream" as if anyone actually gives a f***. I wonder what sort of trip the creative director and director were on to come up with this bizarre idea. Props to the kids for doing their best with a truly bizarre program. And now can we talk about those piss pants they put on later? SHEESH. Everyone will forever remember that they were that perfect shade of Urine yellow. Should have gone with a shade like that which Madison used this year.

[@joelchi2529]

The entire narration is based of a song called taming the dragons

[@WeMissDimebag]

The narration tells the story of a bizarre dream this guy had with this Lou Reed/Dennis Hopper type figure driving him around when they got cut off/almost ran off the road or in an accident by some asshole. The guy wanted Lou to retaliate and Lou told him he had to be ready for the ramifications of his actions (including words) if he did that, and that your actions are really all you are. The narrator realizes Lou is right, and wonders if maybe the dream was his subconscious sending a message to him through the Lou figure. Basically, your actions are who you are, and sometimes dreams can reveal meaningful stuff about you. It’s weird but not as crazy as everyone keeps saying it is.

[@brettgoldsmith9971]

Yeah, its just supposed to be a trippy dream. I think the point was as long as you got that the dude was waxing poetic about some high he was on, you got the whole show. Which I personally loved. The whole show was just allowed to *OOZE* personality in a way that a structured show can't

[@WeMissDimebag]

@@brettgoldsmith9971 It's not just a dude rambling about a high he was on, the dream has a narrative to it with theming and a moral lesson to it and everything. It's presented pretty weirdly but it has an obvious meaning if you just catch the narration.

would have loved to hear an unplugged version of this show. unable to see live, all I hear on any recordings is electronic crap!

[@adamweiss2336]

One of my favorite corps. Although they delivered outstanding shows for the past several years, this one produces some mixed feelings. The outfits don't look like the Bluecoats. They lacked the ultra impressive soloists of the past. (I like synth too, but it sounded like a saprano/trumpet soloist should have played that synth solo towards the end) As with all of drum corps these days... too much dialogue! There is already enough dialogue in the rest of our daily lives. Can we just return to a good musical show! On the flip side: The musical selection was very interesting, but again, the dialogue distracts the listener from melting into the music.
