DLMillard Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I don't think this topic has been discussed yet. We played many tunes in our days in Drum Corp. Which ones did you absolutely love to play? For colour guard members, which ones did you love the routine for? For drum majors, which ones did you love to hear? In 1975 my faves were Black Saddle, El Conquistador, 2001 A Space Odyssey and our street beat. (I can't remember what else we played that year.) In '76 - Oye Como Va, Send In the Clowns, Hava Nagila and our percussion routine The Clock solo In '77 - The Wiz, Killing Me Softly/Feelings, Miserlou/Hava Nagila, Send In the Clowns, A Fifth of Beethoven ('disco' version) and our percussion routine - the Doobie Brothers 'Clear As the Driven Snow.'

Puppet Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 1969 - Pagliacci Overture, Thunder & Blazes Billboard March, Make Our Garden Grow 1970 - Three Blind Mice In Symphony Hall 1971 - Ride Of The Valkyries, Point Alma Mater, Woodstock! Played some great stuff in St. Joe's, too. Dance Macabre and Minnie The Moocher which featured one of the great Euphonium players of our era, Rubin Ariola Just as a side note: I think that the 1970 CMCC Warriors' Voodoo Suite was one of the most innovative and imaginative OTL Hy Drietzer ever created for Drum Corps. And that my friends, is saying something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
