DrumManTx Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 that keller band is huge. wow. are there a lot of marching bands like that? Keller is a pretty average 6A in terms of size in Texas. Coppell and Duncanville are probably the two largest at the state level competitively in Texas. Coppell with lots of Cadets connections from what I understand.

If I remember correctly, Duncanville is where Will Pitts (Phantom's arranger) was on full time school faculty before being called back to the land of Peaches and Hartsfield Airport.

Eleran Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 For a ballad, perhaps by Cadets or Phantom, I think the following could be tightened into a very nice 2-3 minutes. But please, trust the music to stand on its own simple beauty - no interpolated Crown-esque runs to juice it up.

tesmusic Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 One of my favorites! I wish there was more Jenkins on the field, in general.

Plus much more doable for today's visuals than sousaphones for those lines still wanting to be "unique," "cutting edge" or not publicly admitting to being lobbied by Yamaha and other mfgrs.

Lance Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) SCV did it in 2011 under the title "The Eternal Knot." one of my favorite ballads of the decade so far. i don't like most of his work the way it's orchestrated, especially the choir parts, but it lends itself really well to brass. i really like this cue from the same album, and think it could work with some sort of tribal theme for a dci show Edited November 29, 2016 by Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonchocolate Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Please please please please Fire in the Blood! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llPj1XwxV5U Or also Dark Side of the Moon, possibly my favorite brass band piece ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgZrRENou1U Could work either as a ballad or as a hard-hitting fast piece.

Considering Carolina Crown won a championship with this piece in their rep, I'd agree that it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
