Cadevilina Crown Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Want to share a show idea I have for the Troopers: a tribute to America's National Parks. The parks create a wonderful color palette that perfectly matches the modern Troopers image. I know that Rochester-area composer Dan Welcher wrote a series of pieces based on four of the national parks: The pristine Glacier, the powerful Yellowstone, the serene Arches, and the unbridled Zion. Take a listen to the only known recording of all four pieces by the University of Texas Wind Ensemble (disregarding the Symphony No. 4 that is also on there): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL32uRpCavNg9_MvyW8Zq5BnpAglhJovCF It's a little out there in terms of its composition, but if the Troopers could pull off the Corigliano section last year, they can pull off this suite. And I'm okay with RWS throwing in some original material in there as well. Edited September 6, 2016 by Cadevilina Crown 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the Grand Canyon/Bryce/Tetons/Yellowstone in there for props might need a few more stagecoaches from Casper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where they might be able to purchase one, if they are relentless about pursuing it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liahona Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I know where they might be able to purchase one, if they are relentless about pursuing it. Of course they could also ask for a loan from Boston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
