K-Swiss Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Buddy of mine did a vibe piece called Midnight Star for his senior recital. I forget the composer's name, but it would make an awesome ballad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 The day Phantom plays the last movement of Bruckners 8th is the day I can die happy They're playing this year...there's been a change J/K LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontwan2know Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 sleep by eric whitacre. When David Heard would be an incredibly powerful and moving ballad, but I understand he has thus far refused all requests to arrange it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Appalachian Spring...Red Pony...West Side Story...Battle Hymn of the Republic...Malaguena...Conquest...Georgia...Call me a geezer... OK...you are a geezer... You just put out a list of tunes I'd rather not hear on the field EVER again. Another geezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 sleep by eric whitacre. We were choosing between that and "October" for the band I write for in 2006...ended up with "October" which worked well for us. Both are amazing numbers.

Ed Boxer Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 A couple of incredible choral arrangements that would tranfer to Drum Corps very well (they have wonderful inner voice writing): Silent Night - arranged by Malcolm Sargent Sometimes When We Touch - arranged by Larry Moore for New York City Gay Mens Chorus - don't knock it until you hear it. Deck the Halls in 7/8 - arranged by J. McKelvy = with a great running bass line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Godspeed! - Stephen Melillo - I always think of a Cadets hornline when I hear this, especially the horns Celebration Fanfare - Steven Reineke Limerick Daydreams - Nathan Daughtry A Movement for Rosa and Watchman, Tell us of the Night - Mark Camphouse All band pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Said it before, blah blah: Lincolnshire Posy, P. A. Grainger. Also, if someone could do it with a straight face and not wink, Forward March by Pat Metheney. And, even though I'm over West Side Story, if someone could examine the less poppy aspects of Bernstein's Mass, like the dance meditations, that might be intetresting.

Dave Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Though I doubt any corps would have the guts to do it, I'd like to see a show based on Prince's Sign "O" The Times album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
va9590jm Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I did too actually. lolIt's really amazing how interactive he was able to get without the score. He's really a brilliant conductor. Just out of curiosity, where did you play it? the George Mason Honor Band weekend at the end of January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
