Welcome to the Marxmen
2008
The Show title for the 2008 season in Division Three is "The Marxmen Go To The Movies" or simply "The Movies".
This follows on from the 2007 Junior Division league and National Finals winning show "Back To The 60's". Our Band and Guard members have remained virtually the same for this season. They all know how tough it will be as they meet other Competitors in Division Three this season.
Our Christmas Concert was a major success and long may we have one. Road march music has been worked on and with our repertoire from last season will give many Carnivals one of our best shows yet. Now the show music has started. There are some significant wind instrument changes which were essential. We cannot reveal the names of the music to be played at the moment, as an element of surprise is there. I am assured that a dramatic start will be made followed by a slowing of tempo and then a build to the ending crescendo.
Last season our Guard held the attention of all Carnival audiences and complimented the Band in competition. This year they are the same but just one year older, more experienced and wiser.
The Band will have the confidence for a number of "solos", and we may not need the Musical Director to be Drum Major (Field Commander) as he may be on the field.
There will be a little something that is different for the Marxmen (2), formally known by many as Braintree Dimensions, but we must see that it works ok.
There will be more to follow.
