FHdork Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I thought I was the only Don Gillis fan...great music - Paul Creston - Symphony No. 2 - the opening (of 2) movements could be arranged for a fabulous opener that would build and build and build - the climactic moment could also be brought back for the ending (love cyclic form in drum corps...) I mentioned R.R. Bennett Suite of Old American Dances - it really is one of my favorites, and would make a GREAT Madison show, imo. They wouldn't need high note artists...just fine training - and there are tons of C.G. opportunities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
