The "Music Corps Should Do" thread


Recommended Posts

Considering their current style, Spirit of Atlanta doing an abridged arrangement of this musical number would be the perfect way to open or close a show (although in the original musical, it is the prologue). Plus, we've never heard this Tony-winning composer's music performed on the field.

Every time that I hear Rush's 'Natural Science', I always would like to hear a corp do it. It's more than likely outdated by today's standards but I still think it would sound great.

For the win! Natural Science has so many levels of cool. Arraigned well for Brass, this has Bluecoats written all over it.

A piece by Rush that would work well in today's electronic driven trend is a from 1977 called Xanadu. Have a listen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RnDSfDKJGAo

I think Fire Dance by Allen Vizzutti and Jeff Tyzik would be a fantastic addition to a latin drum corps show. If I had to pick which corps would play it, it would definitely be the Madison Scouts.

I love the piece, and saw a performance of it live with Vizzutti in Syracuse a few years ago. JMHO...but there's no way I imagine it being done (DC-wise, that is) by any other than Jim Brady and the Bridgemen. (Quite a year for my daughter, who at the time was a developing trumpet player. She was able to see Vizzutti and Severinson live in the same year. Not together...on separate concerts.) As good as the modern-day players are, I'm not sure any of them could pull it off with the same effect as Brady might have.

It's pretty disjointed, but I could see Crown and Klesch having fun with some of the cues in this track:
