There's a lot of great material by Smashing Pumpkins. This would make a great slow movement...

 

I'm a big fan of SP. Not sure how it would work out though. 33 is a good one. So is Mayonaise.

Maybe as a standstill performance. 

I really like the idea or BAC doing Boston's music as a show.

Even if not by BAC themselves, "Foreplay" would be a fun piece for anyone to tackle.

Of course, this would start the pre show, with the impact hit to the beginning of that 2nd part right after Brandt says "...PROUD TO PRESENT..." Starts at 2:30

And who could say "More than a Feeling" wouldn't make for a great ballad??

The part at 3:24-3:31, those double tonguing, I'd stage them as a ripple effect from one side of the field to the other. Each of the 4 notes would be played by a different section of trumpets. Maybe over the space of 30-35 yards as to not be too out of sync with sound waves bouncing all over and can't hear each other play.

Would be difficult to pull that off, though, and there's also a very similar phrase in Peace of Mind, which would be the closer.

 

When you're a long haul truck driver like I am, you have a lot.of time to listen to all sorts of music as you drive and imagine it being played by brass on a football field.

The 3rd (slow) movement of Gliere's 2nd Symphony would be delightful (one of the motifs reminds me of something from Star Wars). And I love the fourth movement.

Galactic Empires by David R. Gillingham. This has Phantom's name on it. Phantom Regiment... IN SPACE!!!

 

I know some people here have also mentioned Jaga Jazzist, and I believe that is right up Bluecoats alley

i was going to say that the cavies did galactic empires, but they did something else by gillingham that sounded exactly like galactic empires

Tell me this piece was not made for drum corps. I dare you.

 

"Far from all brother-men, in the weird of the fen,
With God's creatures I bide, 'mid the birds that I ken;
Where the winds ever dree, where the hymn of the sea
Brings a message of peace from the ocean to me."
