Favorite "Jams" on your tour bus


Recommended Posts

Alright, folks. I'm putting together a mix CD for one of my students who's marching BDB this summer. What are some of the tunes that were frequently played on your tour bus? Whether it was to pump you up before a show or just to enjoy on one of your longer stretches of road, what can you remember being played over the loud speakers?

I know that the selections posted here will be rather eclectic, given the 4-5 decades worth of marchers that frequent these forums, but that will just make this more fun.

I'll go ahead and start it off....

Some of the tunes I can remember being played a lot on my bus were:

Jungle Boogie

Brick House

We are the Champions (We weren't presumptuous... it's just a sweet tune with an awesome guitar solo and we liked Queen)

Bohemian Rhapsody

Can't believe I forgot Journey! - Don't stop believin..... great suggestion

And carry on my wayward son is great, too.

Nice suggestions, folks. What else? Remember, I'm looking for tunes that you'd be able to play over the loud speakers of the bus to get EVERYONE pumped or excited. What did they play over the speakers on YOUR tour bus?

Thanks again in advance :)

Haha, great recommendations. I'd actually never seen/heard that full metal jacket speech until just now. Awesome lol! Is there a place where I can download an audio version of that speech?
