Cache_Money Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I want to hear some kansas, Carry on my wayward son... NOOOOOO! (Sorry, but our high school band played that we were forced to (gulp) sing the chorus (a capella) at the end of the piece. Bad memories.)

tubacurt Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I think Coheed and Cambria has some great stuff, espeically in the way of openers/closers, not so much ballads, but it would still be sweet. Cluadio has the crazy falsetto(sp?) voice for the sops to scream out, and they proabably have the best guitarists in modern rock, so it would make for some ridiculous mello licks, and the bass parts would be bring some pretty meaty stuff for the contras and baris.

Iplaytimpani Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 As was already mentioned Northern Aurora 1992 with ELP and 93 with kansas was some good stuff. I wonder when someone is going to bring back some good old ELP?! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 There's some good Ska music out there that corps could do... hey, they already have trumpets and trombones... it would make for an easy conversion. :P Trombones? Anyway, didn't the Quad City Knights rock out for several years in a row? 1988 "The Music of Chicago", 1989 "The Music of Yes", 1990 "Tommy, the Rock Opera". If I remember correctly they even had a large 80s concert drum set on a stage for a few of those shows. (show info from www.corpsreps.com) Hey, as the Geneseo Knights (before name change to Quad City) in 1987 they did "The Music of Emerson, Lake and Palmer". Rock on!!

posaune10 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I want to hear some kansas, Carry on my wayward son... Maybe a bit obscure, but Northern Aurora 1993 coes to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourouttheforty Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Wow, imagine someone like the Cadets marching an all ska show, you wouldn't even see their feet they'd be moving so fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Time for someone to play music from the Scorpions. ^0^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocko the Wonder Llama Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Geez, this is nothing new. Conquistadors did the Beatles "Abbey Road" back in '79. SGT Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Golden Slumbers Carry that weight The end I know, I know a coprs named Conquistadors playing a British rock band?? Stranger things have happened.

bluecoats88 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) let's see: Crossmen did "Something" by the Beatles back in 79? or 80? Bluecoats did "Walk between the Raindrops" by Donald Fagen (of Steely Dan Fame) in 1985 Suncoast 1984 drum solo was changes by yes with a little YYZ thrown in I believe. Didn't Blue Knights do YYZ or changes in 1984? Bluecoats in 1991 did "Whiter Shade of Pale" Cadets did Van Morrison That's all I can think of right now. And Bluecoats 1984 drum solo was a Kansas Tune (Father Padilla meets the perfect Gnat) I think that's the name. - It was Magnum Opus, but the piece is segmented into movements and the part we used was mainly from the movement titled Father Padilla meets the perfect Gnat.

Iplaytimpani Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 well if we want to bring up the beatles, I dont remember the year but 'coats did it I do believe and KK did it in 2003. You'll just never be able to see a video of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
