Music: Songs that could go to the field


Recommended Posts

Valley Fever did, indeed, play portions of Alexander Nevsky, including the "Battle on the Ice." It sounded terrific on the field and, if I remember correctly, Fever did a nice job interpreting the piece with drill and visuals.

I don't know if it would make sense in terms of orchestration, but I'd love to hear a corps try Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek. I know it's been done indoor, but I'd love to see it on the field.

Spirit is playing it this year. I'm not a HUGE fan of their interpretation but it's growing on me. They sing a bit of it at the end (unamped)... beautiful.

Gary P. Gilroy did a fantastic arrangement for a marching band.

Now the band was more of a visual than a music school, but that's a different story...

VK Is also doing it this year last time I heard. Who ever said something about the Metropolis Symphony Memphis Sound did it in '03. Spirit also did a song from it in '04 the Bizarro section.

WOW; didn't leave anything out did you?

I'd like to hear Madison do music by The Dream Academy, particularly from their album "A Different Kind of Weather", and they'd have to do the song "Life in a Northern Town".
