I've had a show concept called BaROqKuE floating around in my head for awhile. Would love it to include this nifty little piece by Vivaldi [Concerto RV558]. There's a couple bassoon concertos by Vivaldi which have some parts I think would sound quite nice in drum corps transcriptions. But among my very favorite pieces of music are his concertos for mandolin (RV425) and two mandolins (RV532). Here's the former, maybe a bit too restrained, but with some interesting staging: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Ha ha ha! How about some Daft Punk? For instance, as played today by a French military band: Came across that on a political twitter feed (because of who's in the audience). Scrolling down just a few replies, I read the following: ---"Made the mistake of showing this to my wife... huge marching band geek... she didn't have nice things to say about the marching. lol." ---"...and now she's ranting about proper marching & has started demonstrating things..." ---"She's still going... My god, what have I done..." ---"She's somehow segued into the difference between instructors at Vanguard and the Blue Devils... something about making the French run laps.." -----"Casually say "The Phantom Regiment are overrated", and see if her eyes pop out. - Fellow band nerd" ---"Oh, no... I know better than to say something like that" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Let's revisit one of the tunes that Regiment announced for the 2015 show but didn't end up using: Poulenc's piano concerto. GREAT tune, especially love the ballad (at 10:10 or so). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first movement of the following concerto is something that I particularly want to hear on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) I would really like to see a corps tackle Anthracite Fields by Julia Wolfe. I think that Blue Devils, Bluecoats, Crown, SCV, or even the Cavaliers could do it and still be in their stylistic wheelhouses. Movement I: Foundation Movement II: Breaker Boys Movement III: Speech Movement IV: Flowers Movement V: Applicances Edited July 17, 2017 by pudding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know better than to say something like that" The American guest is being polite, full well knowing that Euponitone, once of DCP, and lifeime American Ambassador for Writing Drill for Competitive (DCE) French DBC from Brittany, has his staff of Madison alums, Regiment alums, Cadets alums and several others at the ready as they have successfully done this in years past. Current French prez may be holding off EU entry from Ireland, Holland, Britain, Germany, and Italy. However, the costume/uniform folks in the States might have a challenge here, even without a WGI guard or the faux-guard from Moulin Rouge. Don't worry though. We're sending them Cadet2000 and Tekk will have them in shape. Edited July 17, 2017 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
