Favorite single DCI songs?


Recommended Posts

I don't even listen to whole shows anymore, so I've got a whole playlist of single songs.  #1 for me is always "Johnny One Note" by BD in '89.  However, from more recent stuff:

  • 2016 Bluecoats - Todo Tiende
  • 2016 Troopers - Fix You
  • 2017 BD - Everything Must Change
  • 2017 SCV - Into a Virtual World
  • 2017 Bluecoats - Psychopomp
  • 2017 Bluecoats - Zombie Woof
  • 2018 SCV - My Body is a Cage
  • 2018 Cavaliers - Oh What a World
  • 2019 Bluecoats - Eleanor Rigby
  • 2022 Bluecoats - Whatever that #### Keytar Song is Called

Cadets "Moondance"

Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights great closer "Free Again" (69 and 70)

Regiment Symphony #3 (Organ) by Saint Saens

Skyliners "Little Ol' New York" opener many times

Bloo '14 second to last movement- no clue what it's called but I love the low brass lines that are reprised just before the "tilt" moment

Bloo '22- "Taizo", the opener. Love this song, favorite part is the pit rolls up the keyboard into the chords and then the big brass hit. So crispy.

Edit: Mmm, also Crown '11 opener, from Bohemian Rhapsody. Hits you so hard, and it's just so beautiful.

Throwing a few more random thoughts in here - try to mix up the eras a little bit this time - with some more off-the-beaten path underrated ones:

-Scouts 98 “Rememberance” closer

-BK 15 “I’m Alive/Fly to Paradise” closer medley

-Bloo 06(?) “Distorted” opener chart

-BD 94 “Night Streets”

-SCV 91 “Fall of Saigon”

-BK 99 “Trittico” opener

-BK 93 “LITTLE GREEN MEN!!!” 😎

 

Again, too many more to mention, but Ill come up with some more I’m sure.
