CROWN - they've been playing "extra tunes" lately, no?

Boogie Wonderland

Earth, Wind and Fire medley

Sweet

Deck the Halls, I think they played it in San Antonio, and Bristol, RI

o/t kind of

i saw them play this at their home show last summer or maybe two summers ago, and it was the most square, geeky thing i have ever seen. performances like this are why the "band geek" stereotype exists.

eh, I'd say the Band-geek stereotype exist because of corps who play dirges during parades (or maybe the band-geek stereotype exists because of...well maching bands at footbal games?...Just a thought)...as opposed to say an Earth Wind an Fire pieces that more "normal" people would know and could dance to. I know at the Bristol 4th or July parade, those good old Earth Wind and Fire Tunes always seem to get an awesome crowd responce. Which his really what it's all about.

It'd be pretty cool is Phantom did Bachannale or Finale from New World.

Personally, even though I AM a bit partial... I really enjoy Spirit playing Georgia and Let it Be Me.

I don't know if Cadets usually do it, but this past summer was my first time seeing one of their encores, and I really liked when they did several selections from previous years including stuff from their '95 show. Really great encore performance.

They played the Finale from New World in 2006 as an encore piece. They almost always do Elsa's. I know for a while, they did little snippits of older repertoires after an exercise--Canon, Bachannale, Serenade for Strings, etc...

I think they do the best encores. Usually they're the most prepared and well thought out encore pieces all summer long. There are some good vids of everyone's encores on the site that shall not be named...

Oh, I didnt' know they did Finale in '06. I only went to two shows that year I think. Yeah, Phantom does a pretty sweet encore. I think I'd love pretty much any song they whip out.
