I love some of his stuff, hate others. So it depends on which piece.

[JF154283]

Well for instance, there was 1000 Airplanes on the Roof - Phantom's '07 Opener

[Toby]

The Canyon by SCV over a decade ago.

It does depend on the piece. But I think some of his peices can be great for drum corps. I can think of one corps thats doing philip glass this year. Isn't it Blue Stars?

GLASSmen.

99 SCV. The Canyon. Epic.

Well, that's really 2 questions.

I like a lot of Glass's music, and it can be effective. I don't know that Troopers would utilize Glass in their future shows, so I answered based only on the first part of the question.

[corps-mudgeon]

I voted yes. There's a lot of Glass that wouldn't work, but I enjoyed the heck out of PR's 1,000 Airplanes.

I'd like to hear a translation of Meetings Along the Edge for the football field:

Meetings Along the Edge

And for those amplified voice aficionados, there's always Einstein on the Beach.

[Jeff Ream]

depends on the tune and how it's arranged
