84BDsop Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Bernstein comes to mind....especially for Cadets in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elphaba01 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 "Arranger, Composer, Etc": JOHN PHILLIP SOUSA. Yeah: You read it right. In the "Early Days" of the activity (1950's-1960's) JPS numbers were quite common, "National Emblem March" being a "Signature Number" of Blessed Sacrament, and "Stars & Stripes" the "Color Presentation & "Off the Line" of St Kevins Emerald Knights. "Stars & Stripes Forever" is a mainstay of the USMC drum corps, often used as a "Closer" or "Encore" number. Elphaba WWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84BDsop Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 And corps continue to ignore Spike Jones, Weird Al and PDQ Bach. I;ve always thought about a Weird Al show...You couldn't do his parodies really....they're too lyric driven (and the melodies themselves are from other artists), but his original works?? Certainly. PDQ Bach....1712 Overture....right up VK's alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hardware Store" by Weird Al and his take on Bohemian Rhapsody--don't really need the lyrics for that one, just do it as a polka! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
