More Sibelius! ...and by that, I mean something other than Finlandia. More Symphony No. 2...more En Saga...more Violin Concerto...plenty of good stuff out there!
Apologies if this has already been posted earlier in the thread, but "On The Shoulders of Giants" by Peter Graham.

I think that, with the new instruments allowed on the field, maybe more corps will try some Strauss, Mahler, Wagner...maybe we might finally see some Bruckner on the field?
Plus, could you imagine a show centered around Alpine Symphony? Practically writes itself.
Of course they could improve...but so could the 2nd place corps. Then the 2nd place corps scores a 19.8, but BD is still however much better than them, so...20 out of 20.
