DaKman Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Those charts were Larry Kerchner charts... Blue's in the Night is a classic. Later, AA Im pretty sure the late Ray Baumgardner wrote Blues in the Night for spirit, Brothers of the Bop, etc. he was also the brass arranger for Madison at the time....notice the similarities between Blues and God bless the child? Future Corps also played this arrangement for their Epcot show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kershner wrote the entire 83 and 84 brass charts. Ray Baumgart wrote ONLY "Concerto in F" for Spirit in 1985. Trust me...I was DM in 84 and 85. And BTW...Madison played God Bless the Child last in 1978, not the same era that we are referring to.

Right on Steve! Kershner re-wrote the '84 'Blues' arrangement for MBI in '88 & '89, after we played one of his originals, "In like a Lion" in '86 & '87 (arranged by Rick Rueckert). I was told Larry freaked when he heard us play that at DCA. Ray Baumgardt's last year with Madison was '79..Jim Ott wrote the '80 show for them..Metzger and others wrote after that until Scott Boerma hooked up with them.

tubacurt Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 In the depths of my mind where I old a ton of semi-developed show ideas there was one I called Something new, blue, borrowed and old, where the opener would be a very modern work, the second number would be Blue Rondo ala Turk, the borrowed song would be a signature song from a different corps, like playing Channel One if your not BD, and then the something old would be a corps standard played on G horns and marching the pit. But heh, it will be cool to see where they go with this idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iplaytimpani Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Dutch Boy's show last year was something to the effect of old borrowed blue and new. They did a pretty good job with it the few times I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
