A ton of corps have done west side story, but somehow have managed not to play "make our garden grow" http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/ee3a627421fd8a9673fd33e822191ccc952e0c2c Several corps have played Make Our Garden Grow from Candide. http://www.corpsreps.com/search.cfm

Scott, I checked with Truman's daughter Cindy. She indicated that The Commandant's Own Marine Drum & Bugle Corps have all of Truman's arrangements and will not give permission for anyone to use those charts.

Many corps have played Brubeck charts. Boston, Spirit of Atlanta, Anaheim Kingsmen, 27th Lancers, Troopers,Crossmen,Blue Devils and Bridgemen to name a few...but not Madison.

Sal Salas was the program coordinator 1997 - 2002. Chris Tomsa did the brass charts from '97 to 2000 and Bruce McConnell was the brass arranger in 2001 & '02.

Madison Scouts - 84 brass (28 trumpets, 16 mellophones, 24 baritones and 16 tubas)

Madison is going with 16 tubas this season.

Just to clarify, Brian Hickman provided Drum Corps World with the show title and list of composers only. He did not provide any source music titles, and our repertoires listing in the May issue does not include any source music. So who really "spilled the beans" euphman89?

While there are a few openings in most sections, the Scouts are only going with 16 tubas this season, not 20. (Most of which have been contracted with numerous callbacks)

Not true. If you're cut you're cut, and not going to make the line this year. So why would you continue to pay to attend audition camps for that corps when you are not a callback?

Harry was a good friend and fellow DCW staffer that I have known for many years. He certainly will be missed. Rest in peace.

Age has nothing to do with it...a major highway exchange being built in the area does.

A little history on Malaga "From Stan Kenton - This Is An Orchestra" by Michael Sparke "Roger Schuller,the jazz band director at Millikin University contacted Bill Holman in the late 60's and told him how much he loved Malaguena,and asked if Bill would write a chart for his jazz band that was somewhat like it.Holman came across a town called Malaga on a map of Spain, and that is how he got the title. Kenton went to a concert where Schuller's band played Malaga and Stan liked it so much he got a copy from Roger, so it came to the Kenton band through the back way. Malaga certainly received greater recognition through Kenton than it would otherwise have gained, and Stan played it frequently until 1974, but even so Holman's original composition never achieved quite the iconic status of the even more spirited and instantly recognizable Malaguena."

From the Madison Scouts Facebook page - "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, three Christmas downloads soon will be here. A show for next season, reframed from our past, the music exciting, the movement quite fast. So Facebook on Christmas to hear our good cheer, and fill up your iPod with songs from last year."

Music City heard you. http://www.musiccitydrumcorps.org/news.aspx?i=54

It's official on the Scouts' website today...the closer is "Empire State of Mind"!

Ed was a fellow Drum Corps World staffer and dear friend for over 30 years. I loved hanging with him at shows,talking drum corps in the off-season and providing material for his DCW "Trivial" column. I last saw him at the "Drums On Parade" show last summer where we had a nice chat, and of course, I bought him a beer at the tailgate party. Rest in peace Triv, I'm certainly going to miss you.
