Academic Festival Overture

Southwind did it in '01, as did the Royal Grenediers decades before, but it screams for a Cadets, Crown, or PHANTOM REGIMENT production.

The whole piece is just over 11 minutes, has a brooding opener, and a glorious full-blown closer, with tons of fun stuff in the middle.

I've been waiting, literally, forever for a top-12 corps to do a full-blown production of it.

(Oh, and SCV may do it justice as well because they're so good at "full-blown productions".)

 

 

When I saw [with my wife] them perform this in 2001 at ISU, I took the opportunity to yell "FABER!!" at one moment.  My wife didn't get the pun and punched my arm. Miss Southwind of old.wishing them best now.

It's honestly surprising no one has re-attempted this in the modern day (though Crossmen 1995 more than did it justice). It screams modern drum corps.
