2022 DCA Class A Show Announcements

The music you know, presented in a way you’ve never heard before. The show starts with the light, airy, and easily recognizable Canon in D and transforms into a trap backbeat kicks in. The second movement features Allegretto from Symphony No.7.

The audience is given just a taste of the classical piece, and it becomes a rhumba. The third movement features Bolero as a reggae and ska number. A drum feature kicks off a ska remix of this famous tune. The fourth movement features L’Arlesienne as a swing number. This is a natural synthesis in the vein of Ellington and Bernstein classics.

Walk through the parking lot at any drum corps show. It is impossible to ignore the smell of diesel exhaust and the sight of towering busses that dominate the asphalt. Bus travel – for all of its joys and headaches – is a fundamental part of the activity. 

For our 95^th Anniversary season, the Govenaires are thrilled to return to the road once again. Our 2022 production, Back on the Bus, is inspired by the journeys taken by our iconic green busses through the years. 

The driving shuffle of “Julius” sets us on the road (until an unfortunate breakdown grinds the show to a literal halt). The anxious positivity of Mike + The Mechanics is intercut with a familiar Herb Alpert classic, as the corps waits for a miracle to get moving again. 

Will our performers make it to the gig? Find out this summer as the Govenaires perform some magic on the field. 

Repertoire: 

On the Road Again | Willie Nelson 

Julius | Phish 

All I Need is a Miracle | Mike + The Mechanics 

Spanish Flea | Herb Alpert 

Windy | The Association 

Magic Bus | The Who
