A ton of corps have done west side story, but somehow have managed not to play "make our garden grow"

Several corps have played Make Our Garden Grow from Candide. http://www.corpsreps.com/search.cfm

I've heard a persistent rumor that Truman Crawford put in his will that all his arrangements of drum corps tunes would be put out into public domain. Anyone know if there is any truth to that, and if so where to get them? Seems like that would provide plenty of patriotic tunes.
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.

Had a great impact on the drumcorp scene. Corps like Blue Devils, Madison and Crossmen played his music. Born in Concord, CA. RIP!!
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.

What do you think of Myron Rosander to Madison?

Am I correct in saying that Jonathan Vanderkoff wrote the drill for Star of Indiana in 1993? Maybe possibly 1992 also? I believe 1991 was Zingali's last season writing.
1991 - Todd Ryan, George Zingali
1992 - Todd Ryan, George Zingali, Dr. Len Kruszecki
1993 - Jon Vanderkolff, Todd Ryan

Lee Beddis was percussion arranger and caption head from 97 to 00. I think McNutt was just there in 01 and 02.
Chris Tomsa did the brass arranging all those years, I believe.
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)
-
I for one hope Madison is marching 20 again.
Madison is going with 16 tubas this season.

DCW spilled the beans in the May issue.
The show is called GlassWorks
Mishima - Philip Glass
Original Music - Poulan/Ferguson
Beyond Borders from Etheopia iii - James Horner
Symphony No. 3 - Camille Saint-Saens
Thinking this should have been the 50th anniversary show.
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?

Last I saw, Madison also had openings in all sections, including the 20-man tuba section.
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)
-
There's no such thing as being "cut" in the winter. Just keep going to rehearsal. Serious.
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.
-
Yeah the WACPAC maybe being torn down from what I hear from friends in the current corps because of its age.
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."

"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."

I listen to country music quite a bit, and believe it or not, there ARE country songs that I think would translate quite well to drum corps...Kenny Chesney music, with a beach/Caribbean theming, would make a GREAT show.

Even if it ain’t all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York!
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge
I'm gonna make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York!
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.

Listen to Argonne's version of Fanfare from 73, then Guardsmen's from 79, then Blue Devils 87 version and it's a great sort of physical timeline as to how horn sounds and arrangements progressed in the earlier years of DCI. (Although some would say Sandra Opie's hornlines were light years ahead of their time, so maybe the timeline gets screwed up.)
Also listen to a recording of Keith Markey's arrangement of "Fanfare" performed by the 1968 Air Force Academy Drum Corps...where it all began.

I was on the Black Knights brass staff in the early 70's when Mike was in the line. He was a fantastic musician who could perform on several different instruments. He played french horn in '70 and '71, and was a soloist. RIP Bushman.

Musicality is optional. I hope the judges don't start rewarding "screech garbage" again.
I picked my words carefully.
Not carefully enough.
"Musicality is optional"? Do you really believe Donnie VanDoren and his brass staff would tolerate any form of "garbage" playing?

"The Scouts have a few select positions available in the horn line. In particular, we are looking for lead trumpet players with exceptional range. If you are interested in auditioning, please contact Dann Petersen at director@madisonscouts.org"
"Double Cs consistently and strong would put you on upper lead and/or solo work."
