Kadoudal 2013: 'Sounds of New York'
'Sounds of New York' is the title of Kadoudal Drum & Bugle Corps' first Premier Class show. The programme will revisit some famous standards about New York such as 'New York New York' by Frank Sinatra and 'Times Square' by Leonard Bernstein.
The corps, newly integrating some adults among its lines and competing in Premier Class for the first time, will also perform it's own version of the master piece 'New York' by Alicia Keys. The final piece will be composed of several current songs that the audience will discover during the French national contest hosted by Marching Music France on 17th August and during the DCE European Championships on the 28th of September.
The show is designed and composed by the same team as in previous years: Nick Merson (The Cadets) is the brass arranger and drill designer of Kadoudal. Ian Wudyka (The Cadets) will write the drumline and pit arrangements. Visual effects and the color guard section are managed by Jenna Lambert (Phantom Regiment) and Nathalie Pellay, with help from international instructors such as Missy Trulock (Phantom Regiment). The hornline and drumline are managed by a European staff during monthly camps and by DCI instructors during master classes. In February, Corey Denham (Spirit of Atlanta) will instruct the Kadoudal drumline and pit.
"This year will be really exciting for Kadoudal" says Yvan Boscher, chairman of Kadoudal Drum & Bugle Corps. "We are taking a new step in 2013, integrating experienced adults in our lines so that they lead our young members to an upper level after their three years in the European circuit and after their great performance last year that allowed them to rank the 2nd place in the Junior Class."
Yohann Boscher, Kadoudal's Corps Director, adds: "We hope that our commitment to this activity will atttract more musicians to Kadoudal for the 2014 season. For now, Kadoudal members work hard and with enthousiam on their new and stirring programme."
