The "Music Corps Should Do" thread

[Dmlkmen]

 

This is a cover of Tool’s  Schism, performed by the eclectic group Elephant Revival. Of note are a few instruments which could translate or are standard to the field. In particular, the snares playing those Danny Carey polyrhythms at the end of the song. 

As this thread has been going on for years, I believe it was mentioned how Vanguard could cover music from Tool. But I think now with many corps taking a risk on pieces would never expect to hear on the field, this or really any other music from the bands’  Lateralus, 10,000 Days, or Fear Innoculum releases would be fantastic.
 

(Not only that, but any Alex Grey artwork they might want to throw in for visual to go along).

hornline arrangers have so much to learn, borrow and steal from choral arrangements -

Reminds me of Glad's "The Acapella Project" album.  Great material & has been used by a few corps in the past.

Unreal.  People who have followed this thread should really give this one a spin.  Wow.

I don't bump often, but I feel like I need to for this.  I've listened to the "Shall We Gather at the River" arrangement that tedrick posted a lot over the past few days, and that last 30 seconds is just brilliant arranging.  The whole thing is magical, but that add 2 chord at the end is pure bliss.

I cried when I watched the YouTube of them singing “Lux Aeterna”.

I've always like them.  Their rendition of Biebl's Ave Maria is terrific, same with Lux Aeterna as Terri brought up.  

But I love the 4 extra male voices added in this arrangement from the Swedish barbershop quartet.  The 2 extra tenor voices really make it something special imo.

Thank you. Their music is an out of body experience.

Their collaboration on “The Lark Ascending” is breathtaking….but not in a drum corps way. God I love music.

As drum corps has swirled the drain I have taken much comfort in choral and organ music -- drum corps is dying but hopefully we will continue to have choral and organ music, which is really the original impetus of drum corps --
