Off Kilter turns 15 - What's your favourite Disney Entertainment?

[dreamscometrue]

This is really hard. I love all the big night time shows and fireworks, but I'm going to take this thread as more 'atmospheric' entertainment. Wow, there's lots. Okay, here are my top 10, in no particular order.

1. Off Kilter
2. Mo' Rockin' (perhaps even a bit more with a belly dancer )
3. Citizens of Hollywood at D.H.S.
4. The World Showcase Players at the U.K. pavillion
5. The British Revolution (Saw them in March and very much enjoyed the set, as did the rather large crowd)
6. 'YeeHaw' Bob Jackson
7. The Jammitors
8. Mulch, Sweat and Shears
9. The Main Street Philharmonic
10. The Fantasyland/Main Street Sax Quartet

This really is tough. Okay, only 5 more.

11. Jim on piano at Casey's
12. Matsuriza (Taiko drummers)
13. The Hat Lady
14. Tam Tam Drummers of Harambe
15. The Main Street Trolley Show

Honorable mention at Christmas time:

Holidays Around the World Storytellers
The Candlelight Processional

There is a lot of entertainment at WDW. For those who might not be aware of all there is, check out what's happening at the 4 parks on this site.

'YeeHaw' Bob Jackson has played for several years at the River Roost Lounge at Port Orleans Riverside.His show is a lot of fun!

Here are links to his website and a video from Youtube of him at POR.

Btw, are you still in N.S.? I'm from, and live in N.B., but went to university in Halifax.

Oh I have seen him, just didn't realize that was his name.

Yes, still in Nova Scotia. So Dal or SMU?

Dal....a long time ago (but did take 2 classes at SMU in a joint program with Dal).

Nice thread! I do enjoy them all. I like the Main Street opening players: Clang Clang Clang goes the trolley!

Off Kilter has definitely been a favorite over the years for sure. I also really enjoy Mulch, Sweat & Shears when I happen to go the DHS, which isn't too often. But here's a blast from the past -- I really miss Future Corps at EPCOT. That bunch of guys was smokin'!

Bob Jackson (YEEHAW BOB) at Port Orleans Riverside. World Class. And The Riverdance at Epcot was very good

 

[JIMINYCR]

Voices of Liberty always get my patriotic heart pumping. Off Kilter second place for the energetic and electrifying fun they bring to the crowds. Third place to all the DHS Citizens of Hollywood for their individual fun and comedic silliness they dispense.

 

[disneypearl]

Mulch, Sweat, & Shears is my absolute favorite. They are great fun and they are also very talented with their music too.

I have a slight preference for the drummers at Japan and the a capella groups on MS and the AA over the modern rock bands such as Off Kilter and Mulch, Sweat and Tears. They're fine bands, it's just that...they don't really add to the theme much. What's Off Kilter got to do with Canada?

The represent the Nova Scotian part - they explain a bit in their show. Nova Scotia is filled with Celtic Rock bands - I was out on the weekend in Halifax and 3 out of 4 bars had celtic or gaelic rock bands playing.

Ah, thanks for that!

Now, who is this Nova Scotia you speak of? Some Canuck girl?

Yes sounds of Nova Scotia

Some favorites:
Kids of the Kingdom
Denny Zavett and the Riverboat Ramblers
Future Corps

I love Off-Kilter, but their sets have become so repetitive, that I rarely stop more than once a trip. I have not attended one show in years that did not include both BTO's "Taking Care of Business" and the rock version of "Fields of Athenry". They used to mix it up a lot better.

Anyone else remember Rondo Veneziano at the Italy pavilion?

 

[I_heart_Tigger]

Ah, thanks for that!

Now, who is this Nova Scotia you speak of? Some Canuck girl?

Yes, she's a Gaelic godess which means she pronounces and spells things in an incredibly complicated manner and can only be understood if you are very very drunk.

Slainte Mhaith!

(pronounced kind of like "Slan-ja Vah") - to your health. It's the Scot equivalent to Kungaloosh

 

[disney1077]

I have seen Off Kilter a couple of times but my favorites are The British Revolution, Mo'Rockin and the acrobats in China. I also liked when they had the statue in Italy.

I love Off Kilter! I always catch them when I am at Epcot. They are so awesome!!

Only posting now, as just been over in WDW for two weeks, and actually passed by on their birthday!

Been fans of them for years - as you'll probably see from my avatar. I knew they had been there for about the same time as we had been going, just wasn't sure how long.

Again, amazing to see how things have changed from the 'platform' stage to what they have now!
