MikeD Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Gotta love marches. Sometimes when I’m driving I put on a CD “Fielder’s Favorite Marches” with the Boston Pops. It may be a bit corny, but I love it. My favorites on that recording are “Up the Street” by Robert Morse and Beethoven’s “Turkish March.” It also has the best arrangement of “Stars and Stripes Forever”, a piece that the Boston Pops end just about every concert with and it never gets old. As far as drum corps arrangements, I loved Crossmen’s “March Slav” in 1977. However, a few days ago I was watching the 1974 Legacy DVD with Anaheim Kingsmen doing March to the Scaffold from “Symphony Fantastique.” The rifle line marches rather majestically. More elaborate routines would come later from Phantom or 27th, but it’s typical of the time and it’s fun to watch. Also, the got good sound from the instruments of the time. Love the Berlioz. It was the King's Regiment's opener in 77. They were a merger of the Wayne Monarchs and Greenwood Lake Lakers. I was their percussion arranger and one of the percussion instructors.

MikeD Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The 1976 Wayne Monarchs, a GSC corps I taught and arranged percussion for, opened with a neat concert march by Vaclav Nelhybel, "High Plains". 1972 Cadets opened with Clifton Williams' "The Sinfonians" concert march...I played 3rd baritone.

ajlisko Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 1971 Blue Rock opened with "American Salute". ... and your very own Garfield Cadets introduced American Salute in 1963 ... ... the CT Yankees hung their hat on The Colonel Bogey March during the 50's and early 60's ... always a fan favorite at the Barnum Festival (which they used to host) ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Doherty Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Elpha and Andy captured a lot of what I was thinking about, but I thought of a few more. Unfortunately Fleetwood did not list reportoires, so I don't know the name of some of these. Early 60's SAC - Lost Army (name?) - their off the line, Late 50s St, Vinnies - El Capitan 63 SAC - Mutiny on the Bounty (may not be a march, but was played as one) 63 Garfield - March of the Olympians (the music ABC uses is not official Olympic music. It comes from an early 60s album called Charge which was played by an ensemble of percussion and trumpets and bass trumpets). 63 or 64 St. Lucy's did a cool march off the line, but I have no idea about the name or origin. The 64 St. Kevin's OTL already mentioned was from Lawrence of Arabia. Cavies did a Hindemith March in 94, Two of three movements in Ralph Vaughn Williams Folk Song Suite are titled Marches - 79-80 27th and probably others. 76 PR 1st Movement, Mahler's 7th. Holst wrote Marches. I would think some have been performed by DC, it's just not popping into mind A lot more stuff out there and some of it is arguable - Glassmen's Kodaly, BK Trittico. Garfield Holsinger in places, but this has been thought provoking. Keith, you said you didn't like marches, but there are so many differerent styles like the Sousa/Karl King variety, the Movie music, Symphonic and Concert Band compositions, that I am betting there is plenty out there that you do like. One last thought for this thread, DC is least successful with the Sousa/King material because the basses are often anemic on the feature 16th note runs - even Madison. Tough with one valve, maybe better with three, but tonguing comes into play (does it not horn players?). Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
