Bossop Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 This week I was watching a program on PBS called "Keeping Score", and it was a special about the life of Aaron Copland and his music. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw a drum corps, and musician Diane Nicholeris who narrated this segment stated that Copland would have loved drum corps. I think the corps was playing "Billy the Kid." It was great! Does anyone know which corps it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rd_Star_Brigade Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 most likely, i think it was the troopers. they play billy the kid often enough to have a higher chance of it being them, plus isn't it one of their lot tunes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilerman_05 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) I saw this a couple of years ago. Great program, very informative. It was the 2003 Seattle Cascades playing El Salon Mexico. Edited July 26, 2009 by boilerman_05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossop Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 I saw this a couple of years ago. Great program, very informative. It was the 2003 Seattle Cascades playing El Salon Mexico. Thanks! Now the uniforms look familiar. I wasn't sure about the music being "Billy the Kid", but I know it wasn't the Troopers or the Cadets performing it.
