Kamarag Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ... jazz flute... <shudder> Mike Exactly. The whole time I was thinking, why would you waste this on a flute when there's a perfectly good trombone sitting right there? In all honesty, the British Big Band has a *much* better arrangement than the studio version I heard a few years ago. That version was nine minutes of elevator music. The British Big Band version had some really sweet horn parts and a much cooler groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark1 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ... jazz flute... <shudder> Mike Oliver Nelson played jazz flute (and quite well I might add). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 High Brass does a very nice arrangement of Remembrance as well on their album, which includes, as you might expect, a ton of drum corps classics. http://www.drumcorpsworld.com/ocstore/site/product.cfm?id=85E97FE9-013E-4998-B2F8D4BCAA061865 Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. Any chance they have songs on iTunes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sadly, I don't think it's available as a download anywhere. Goodness knows I spent about a year searching. Finally bit the bullet and ordered the CD. A bit pricy, sure, but supports a group of drum corps vets. Very professional quality CD - I'd recommend it if you have the time, inclination and money to spare. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris ncsu Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 How many people saw several marching bands the next fall do that tuba dance from Peer Gynt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 How many people saw several marching bands the next fall do that tuba dance from Peer Gynt? Oh, geez...I had forgotten about that...until now. I had to judge a few programs at contests where that little maneuver was done...poorly. I don't mind bands ripping off corps; but first, rip off something you can do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Most years, one has to work pretty hard to not love a Madison Scouts show. You think its easy throwing babies, Michael ? Thats pretty hard work too you know. ( haha ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Boo Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 You think its easy throwing babies, Michael? Thats pretty hard work too you know. ( haha ) It's a day's work for the fans, but perhaps a lifetime commitment for the babies. I'm working on an initiative to get people to stop using that phrase and replace it with, "figuratively throwing something that isn't babies, even metaphorically" but I've still got some work to do on tightening it up.
