BD: I'd have to third Bird and Bella in Bb, Since I fell for you. I may be alone on this one but when a man loves a woman!

Phantom: New World Symphony, Cannon in D, Claire de lune.

Cavies: Bride groom to his chosen, O' be joyfull.

I'll think of more.

OOh and a corps playing Summertime.. I just don't know what corps, BD? Madison?

I say let Spirit go back to their southern roots and let them play it.

Summertime would have to be the old PA Crossmen

Phantom Regiment, night on bald mountain would be a show for heaven!

And Holy Name, Maria... yess! I also like the suggestion by banishedbeyond for the Cadets Lion King show :whistle:

This is about music we would like to see redone, but not necessarily by the SAME corps. So how about....

SCV - Night On Bald Mountain, Maria or Somewhere

Cadets - Young Persons Guide or Claire de Lune

BD - Strawberry Soup or MacArthurs Park

Regiment - Russian Christmas Music, Rocky Point Holiday

Madison - Autumn Leaves, Free or Devil Went Down To Georgia

Cavaliers - Prelude, Fugue and Riffs, Dark Orchid or Bird and Bella

I wonder how these would look and sound in different hands? Or is that too sacrilegious for us?

Those are all interesting propositions. I could add some different twists, like representing music from dead corps by current ones. Say, PR playing "Danny Boy" or SCV giving us a new "Auld Lang Syne" (though Kilties are very much alive in a new venue) or Madison laying out a hip version of "Aquarius" or even BD zinging us with a blazing "Thunder & Blazes".

BTW, BD did perform "Strawberry Soup" (1993) and Cadets did perform "Young Persons Guide" (2002 already.

But these corps have all changed so much from the days when these pieces were all still in vogue to perform. Would you even get something that any one of us might consider to be a worthy homage to the originals?

I must really be a drum corps olde pharte if a lot of you are nostalgic for a piece ("Bird and Bela in Bb") that itself at the time made me wish for BD to go back to what they "used to be" like "before".

Methinks that this thread, though fun, has about as much chance of coming true as getting Spirit to don those satin disasters c. 1988-9 and play "Interstellar Suite" again. (And that is something I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy.)

Crossmen - Puma. 92 version completely redone. This time with 80 horns so that when the trumpets come in, I can FINALLY have a volume that I like since I guess the CD's were made a little to soft that year.
