xtreme0204 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It depends. Are you trying to make a show that the crowd might enjoy? A show players in an Open Class DCA corps might enjoy? A show players in an A class DCA corps might enjoy? A show players in DCI might enjoy? A show the judges might enjoy? A show jazz enthusiasts might enjoy? A show classical music enthusiasts might enjoy? A show pop music enthusiasts might enjoy? A show my grandmother might enjoy? A show my brother might enjoy? A show little kids might enjoy? It doesn't exist. The best thing you can do is create the best show your staff can create and hope it goes over well. I recall sitting in the stands watching a very popular corps play their show and thinking "I'm bored and don't like this" yet the slightly older crowd LOVED them. I also remember playing a show I loved playing and having another member confide in me that he/she hates the music. Just do your best and get good instructors. As long as people are learning on the field and your vision comes to life it's all you can ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wort Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I always thought it wouild be cool if someone tried an arrangement of Edgar Winter's Frankenstein, but you would have to have one heck of a horn line with a lot of intestinal fortitude to pull it off, especially 'cause I wouldn't want to use electronics.. That said, Opener, William Tell Overture, a la Bridgemen Firebird - from the mid '70s Cavilers Closer - Bottle Dance from, well, you know.....

manatee63 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Might be hard to arrange, but I always thought a ska show would be pretty cool to play. Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Real Big Fish just to name a couple, have some great songs with some awesome horn licks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
