xandandl Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yes, it most certainly does... Jim Prime should write it and Donnie Van Doren should teach it. They both marched the last years of the Chessmen from Easton, PA before the corps folded and they aged out as Muchachos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchcoffeeman Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Just heard Tigran Hamasyan's Shogher Jan (link is to Google Play Music), and found myself imagining Crossmen or maybe Madison really giving it a workout. Or maybe one of the blues: BD, BK, Bluecoats. The last 60 seconds or so are especially suggestive of drum corps.

sagemode67 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I wish a corps would do some anime music, I know Blue stars and Mandarins did some in 04, but they did not play it too well. I hope someone comes out with an anime show soon, there is some really good music in the anime world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snare_guy_83 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I don't care who, but someone needs to play some music by Two Steps From Hell. Pick just about any song and you have a kick-### piece of music. This please! Would love to heard a drum corp arrangement of any Two Steps from Hell piece.

N.E. Brigand Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 For the first time in my experience, I recently saw a marching band perform a John Cage piece: "Living Room Music", including the Gertrude Stein quotations. They weren't a great band by any means, but I rather liked that aspect of their show. People joke a lot about having a corps or band perform "4'33"", but I wonder if anything else by Cage would work on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 One of the bands at BoA's grand nationals, Dublin Coffman, performed Jonathan Newman's "Blow It Up, Start Again", and while the band scored in the middle of the pack (I thought they just might make it into Semifinals, but alas, no: 39th out of 95), that particular number was very catchy. A jazzy orchestral piece. Here's Eric Whitacre conducting the European premiere: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornTeacher Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 For the first time in my experience, I recently saw a marching band perform a John Cage piece: "Living Room Music", including the Gertrude Stein quotations. They weren't a great band by any means, but I rather liked that aspect of their show. People joke a lot about having a corps or band perform "4'33"", but I wonder if anything else by Cage would work on the field. it would take one heck of a leap for a paying audience, and I fear that such would not be met with a whole lot of popular approval. But, I'll bite... Show Title: UnCaged Program: 1) Sixteen Dances (1950/51) 2) Works of Calder (1949/50) 3) Imaginary Landscape No. 3 (1942) 4) Fads and Fancies In The Academy (1940) Imagination would have to be used in orchestrating/scoring/producing the tonal sounds explored by Cage to an ensemble consisting of brass instruments. And I cannot imagine a single Drum and Bugle Corps attempting such a risky program. But...it's an attempt at answering your question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
