The "Music Corps Should Do" thread


Recommended Posts

Though a portion of this was done once (by Les Stentors in 1999 - thank goodness for corpsreps.com!!) this is a great piece that would be nice to hear on the field. It has a ballad portion in the middle and some nice brass moments near the end (horn rips at 8:35 scream JD Shaw).

One of the most fun pieces I ever played in wind ensemble (when it's played at this tempo).

One of the most regal pieces of wind literature I've ever heard (and played). Could see a corps using this as an intro or a closing tag.

Hi. When you post please include the composer and orchestra. Often I'll click and see below. If you write the details, I then can search. Thank you. No worries. I visit but rarely post.

Can you hear this as a fluegel or mello solo/duet backed by front ensemble, lower battery and contras/tubas as a pre-show or a transition piece more than an ensemble ballad? I think it has possibilities for more than those who would stereotype it to Pioneer (no slight to them at all.)

If you don't understand the irish Gaelic, ask "The Wink" to translate it for you while on his trips between Bloo and Blue Knights. I promise no pot of gold if you catch him, ha.

Thanks for posting this.  Nice piece and I agree with you that it has lots of sections that would shine with a good corps.
