Devils 2012 Ballad

It is a pretty song. That and the Horner Apollo 13 theme are great pieces of music, and I'm happy to see them use some real long melodic pieces this year. That and the Elfman are awesome pieces. I always knew Corpse Bride would produce some awesome DCI music!!!!

yea when I went to see them practice in May. the first couple times they played it I kept going "hmmm where have I heard that melody?" Then it hit me. Oh yea BS&T.

It is such a great melody, and such a fun piece. Maybe next year some more corps can experiment with more Elfman music? Maybe we'll get a Simpsons show?

Here are some links that I've come up with for some of BD's musical selections. If anyone can provide more that would be great.
