Music You Loved


Recommended Posts

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.'

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 :worthy:

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.

Good one ... and Bobby Winslow's drum charts added to Voodoo's greatness ...
