So What Should They Do NEXT Year?

[Gaddabout]

11 minutes of space chords

Haven't we kind of worn out Phillip Glass in drum corps?

[cowtown]

Surprised so many want more Phillip Glass – if you must, the show should be Fractals and the drill, visuals, uniforms should be fractals - the show writes itself, I can already see it now

Wake me when the medleys are over.....

[Bill R]

Thanks for that! Now I know what their show should be:

The Cavaliers 2010: Dos Equis: The Story of the Most Interesting Man in the World

Now, that's funny!

My usual suggestions for Regiment:

Return to the Winter Palace

A Muse Made of Fire - Music inspired by Shakespeare

Requiem--drawing from multiple works; Mozart, Verdi, Berlioz, etc. (though really, they should be in the old all-black unis for this one)

I'm sorry, but Regiment HAS to play Janacek's "Sinfonietta". Nothing else is permissible until they play that.
