what modern main stream band would you design a show around?


Recommended Posts

No seriously. i loved that show except the closer that did not go with the rest of the show at all. I hear they added that because they couldn't use the original choice.

it was s total non sequitur. it was just a stupid popular song the dullards would drool over and frankly it ruined their show.

Wow. The is the air thin up there?

I don't consider myself stupid, or slow, or unimaginative, as you suggest (then again, I suppose most of us dullards don't). But ... still drooling.

I totally drooled over it, and I'm reasonably sure my D.M.A. qualifies me as not quite a "dullard." You were born in '62. No one expects you to like hip-hop and that's ok. What we do expect is to show respect to someone else's art form.

I'd love to see more mainstream incorporated into shows. The arrangers & designers are talented enough to present shows in the alternative, country, hip hop, R&B, Pop etc, idioms without "dumbing" the music down. Lyrically and

Phrase wise, a lot of that music is just as challenging, ensembles just do a poor job of pulling it off. I'd also like to to see a corps do a Jazz show that incorporates the major jazz element of improvisation in the music and drill. Wouldn't it be something to follow a corps throughout the season and hear and see a somewhat different show every performance? Maybe a Jazz meets Zyklus type of thing.

Not sure if it's considered mainstream but I always thought the music of BOND would be great on the field.

Gorillaz. Especially the entire demon days album

Not totally sure how you'd start the show, but Dirty Harry would make a good portion of a 2nd movement (starts at 14:20

El Manana would make a FANTASTIC ballad. (starts at 22:22)

FireComing Out of the Monkeys Head and Demon Days write themselves in terms of a closer. (start at 49:00)

Great music.
