Galen Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Dunno if this has been done before, but what drum corps tunes might be good pieces to use at a wedding (processional, interlude, recessional, etc)? Other than the obvious (Elsa's), I can think of a couple. Nimrod as the processional (Crown 96/97) and "Great Gate" for the recessional (SCV 87). Any others?

Shannon98 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 My wife and I did Cannon by Canadian Brass. My brother had selections from Bernstein's mass, I think somewhere and I don't remember the other one. Shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dciguy01 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'll go with the obvious, Phantom's '03 version of Canon in D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAV Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I had a drum corps wedding - a full mass in a Catholic Church - and we used the following song selections: PROCESSIONAL.........................“Ave Maria” – Shubert, ...............................................“Canon in D” – Pacobel, ...............................................“Trumpet Voluntary” - Clark PRESENTATION OF THE GIFTS.....“Ave Maria” - Beibl SIGN OF PEACE.........................“Let There Be Peace on Earth” COMMUNION.............................“Simple Gifts” CANDLE CEREMONY...................“One Hand / One Heart” - Bernstein RECESSIONAL...........................“Ode To Joy” FIRST DANCE............................"Let It Be Me" You may recognize some of the musicians too - ORGANIST: John Skilton CANTER: Stefanie Kressaty BRASS QUINTET : Joe Pero, Trumpet Travis Gould, Trumpet Chris Nalls, Horn Brian Haslanger, Trombone James Barany, Tuba Here are some ideas that we did as part of our wedding & reception: - The Officiant was Father Jim Murphy...a big drum corps fan! - Our videographer was John Christiansen, whose work you see around the activity - Our photographer was Sue Johnson, a drum corps photographer, SCV alum & corps mom - The entire wedding party wore marching shoes (hey, they actually look nice and are very comfortable!) - Hung colorguard flags from the ceiling - Had people sign a drum head instead of a guest book - Totally forgot the bride's garter and instead the groom tossed an orange cone - Each little bottle of bubbles had a tag that listed the name of a corps 'love song' and lyrics ("you are the sunshine of my life" or "I bless the day I found you") Is there a wedding in your future?

Galen Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Conquest!!! ( Boston ) Now, is that being played for the man, or for the woman? No wedding in my future any time soon, just an idea I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanAndreasen Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 My wife sang Ice Castles at Scot and Kathy Schultz's wedding. Scot was the DM for the 1977 DCI champion Madison Scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriTroop Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Now THAT's a wedding!!!! Pictures posted online anywhere?!?!? (not that you want to broadcast that to all of DCP I guess, but I'd love to see the flags!) And did you record it? I had a friend with pro equipment record our wedding. Too bad the trumpet player - a DMA candidate with good references - totally gacked the first note of the introit of Charpentier's "Te Deum." I had a drum corps wedding - a full mass in a Catholic Church - and we used the following song selections:PROCESSIONAL.........................“Ave Maria” – Shubert, ...............................................“Canon in D” – Pacobel, ...............................................“Trumpet Voluntary” - Clark PRESENTATION OF THE GIFTS.....“Ave Maria” - Beibl SIGN OF PEACE.........................“Let There Be Peace on Earth” COMMUNION.............................“Simple Gifts” CANDLE CEREMONY...................“One Hand / One Heart” - Bernstein RECESSIONAL...........................“Ode To Joy” FIRST DANCE............................"Let It Be Me" You may recognize some of the musicians too - ORGANIST: John Skilton CANTER: Stefanie Kressaty BRASS QUINTET : Joe Pero, Trumpet Travis Gould, Trumpet Chris Nalls, Horn Brian Haslanger, Trombone James Barany, Tuba Here are some ideas that we did as part of our wedding & reception: - The Officiant was Father Jim Murphy...a big drum corps fan! - Our videographer was John Christiansen, whose work you see around the activity - Our photographer was Sue Johnson, a drum corps photographer, SCV alum & corps mom - The entire wedding party wore marching shoes (hey, they actually look nice and are very comfortable!) - Hung colorguard flags from the ceiling - Had people sign a drum head instead of a guest book - Totally forgot the bride's garter and instead the groom tossed an orange cone - Each little bottle of bubbles had a tag that listed the name of a corps 'love song' and lyrics ("you are the sunshine of my life" or "I bless the day I found you") Is there a wedding in your future?

K-Swiss Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Elsa's is actually quite inappropriate. IIRC, Elsa was a whore, and the hub-ub was over her being allowed to marry in the church Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
