melloguy05 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I know his music has been played a lot, but what about American Faces? I played my junior year in HS and it sounded pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStarsBari Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 but it is true no one has done ti for ever it would be cool to see a corp try and do a retro show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Reasonable_Man Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Obligatory plug for the music from Conan the Barbarian. I'm astounded that, year after year, so many corps pass over this incredible music that is simply crying to be put on the field. Amazing. Even though I've seen the movie countless times, when I hear this music, I see drill moves in my head instead of scenes from the film. There's also a ton of really cool, field-worthy music from contemporary groups that should be played, like Sigur Ros, Godspeed, You Black Emperor, Polyphonic Spree, or Sufjan Stevens.

daverdci Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Back when BD was doing a little more "exotic" jazz (94-97), I thought this would work well for them...Bela Fleck and The Flecktones latest album, "Little Worlds" has a couple of tunes on it called "Costa Brava" and " Sleeper". The percussion in the two pieces would translate so well to drum corps. Everytime I listen to the two pieces, I need someone in Div. I to play them! Go to itunes or flecktones.com. I'm sure they would be out there to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
