Cadevilina Crown Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Recently, I've been getting really into Marianas Trench, a Canadian pop-rock band with some really excellent albums and singles under their belt. In particular, I think the three "interludes" from their 2009 album Masterpiece Theatre would be really cool to use throughout a full show (technically the first is the album opener and the third is the closer, but you get the idea). There are tons of great "moments" in these that would translate really well onto the field. And for something a bit more straightforward, this song from the same album would be a fantastic standalone ballad in the hands of the right arranger. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these tunes have been played before, but I think they're worth revisiting. Also apparently Rocky Point Holiday has also been performed... I actually prefer Sonoran Desert over Rocky Point, particularly all of the slow stuff. Really wonderful writing from Nelson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love all his works, especially as used by BK, Cav, Glassmen, Bloo, and Cadets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExPitster Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) To @Cadevilina Crown Wow, thanks for hipping us to this band! 👏 Even if their tunes never make it to the field, it's terrific workout music...got some quality minutes on the treadmill with that entire "Masterpiece Theatre" album.

Thanks so much! Their other albums are absolutely worth hearing, too, especially Astoria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdaddy Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Just heard this new release of Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis conducted by John Wilson. A great tune that shockingly hasn't been played in world class. This interpretation is pretty speedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
