Just came across this piece as a Trumpet version. The original vocal recording is so heartfelt. This would be a great ballad. "Caruso" Andrea Giuffredi trumpet And the origianl Lucio Dalla - Caruso (original) with english Lyrics

Stop: Useless and non-value added body movements Start: Moving while playing and playing more Change: the idea that this is somehow the same as an off Broadway theatrical production

We did a Beatles show in my second year at UNM under Glen Adsit. Got to meet Michael Cesario that year too. It was a good show. Great charts. But it wasn't Drum Corps worthy at any level, lol!

So a Beatles show then?

Ok, so literally ANYTHING by Kevin McKee. What a cool young composer. Vuelta del Fuego just screams Scouts return to Hot Latin fun. Composed from brass ensembles, this guy should be a arranger / composer for a Drum Corps NOW!!! I just love the sound and fun in his works.

Dürrenhorn Passage Composer - Kevin McKee I hadn't heard it until today, but I think this Trumpet Ensemble piece would be great. About the piece: Dürrenhorn Passage was commissioned by Dr. James Zingara and Troy University trumpet ensemble. The work was premiered at the 2009 ITG Conference in Harrisburg, PA. The piece depicts flight through an epic alpine landscape.

A Call To Arms - 30 Second To Mars

Extremely valid point! Well played sir.

For sure. That is why I asked. I would LOVE to hear it. But, like you said, I am not a judge. I couldn't work out how you would make that music work in the current era. I couldn't conceive of props or costumes/uniforms or any of it.

Thanks Stu

If this is a duplicate thread, Mods, please delete. Based on the FloMarching's SCV camp video and "First note of the 2019 Show" as well it being the 30th Anniversary of the winning 1989 Phantom of the Opera show, I speculate that this will be a Phantom reboot / nostalgia/ modernized show. As an aside, I hope they do it well, as I trust they would, and do a hot a hatchet job like Cavies did to Planets, or PR did to New World last year. Is there a place in modern DCI for nostalgia shows? Are we seeing an influx of them? Do we care? As an old guy, I love it and I hope it is happening. I would love to see Phantom of the Opera, Drum Corps Fans Dream-Pt.3, Shostakovitch from PR, etc. Maybe that is a different thread.

@Jeff Ream Can you please stop applying logic to forum arguments? Its so confusing.😂

Gavin Harrison’s ‘Cheating the Polygraph’ is a re-imagined album of 8 songs from the band Porcupine Trees where he was the drummer. This is meh style rock rewritten in a big jazz fusion style. The link below is for a sample of the album, all tracks. There is some seriously cool jazz here for BD or Bloo. I am not a fan of the original band, but this album kills. Hope you enjoy. https://youtu.be/NJCPiNby-DY

My first time hearing this wonderful music. What a great main theme. I immediately saw Phantom Regiment in my head. Thanks!

Although that show had other issues, concept wasn't one of them. Even enjoyed the "Stage Directions" vocals.

New Blood - a PG show (yes SCV 2018 has me on a Peter Gabriel kick) Themes and arrangements from PG's "New Blood" album of re-imagined PG songs but with no guitar bass or drums. Rhythm of the Heat Intruder Solsbury Hill In your Eyes Digging In the Dirt

A decent arranger could make this really work as a modern ballad for sure. Guardians, or someone like that on the R&B cutting edge front. Maybe even Bloo? Thoughts? Childish Gambino - "So Into You" (Tamia Cover) https://youtu.be/UfQHEpf2q8k

Ok, I am a complete rookie here. But I am a DCI nut so here goes. Not too much thought, but a concept and some potential music for an arranger to put into something stellar. Concept is aerial warfare, WW2 style, Battle Of Britain or Dunkirk-esque Music From Symp No 2 Flight symphony Barber Dunkirk Supermarine Hans Zimmer First Flight Darryl Odonovan Theme from 633 Squadron Ron Goodwin Battle Of Britain Suite William Walton Thanks for indulging me...
