MikeD Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Doesn't THAT say it all about the state of the art? That a really good movie musical can be reduced t a twenty-minute live tab version just like that?Woe to the republic. There is also a full-length Broadway musical of B&B running. I am guessing that the one at Disney is just some of the best known songs and plot points of the film. Don't forget...when a drum corps "does" a musical...they too are boiling down a 2-hour event into 11 minutes. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malibu Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm surprised that no one has tackled 'the Lord of the Rings'. Some of the soundtracks could have been written for a top 12 corps. I agree....some intense music there! Also the sound track from King Kong sounds interesting too. I think it's the same person who did LOTR.

Orpheus Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 1999 - As far as I can tell, this is the last time movie music *wasn't* in the top 5. Well ... there was a (slightly corny) movie version of "Jesus Christ Superstar." Does that count? And yeah, I think that a show of Howard Shore's "Lord of the Rings" music could be absolutely superb. There are enough different themes to provide plenty of variety, too. Out of the, what?, ten hours or so of music from the movies there's got to be 11 minutes that'd work for corps!

MikeN Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Madison wasn't top 5 - doesn't count. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRyder_FMM Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I love Skyryders and all these shows, but all these shows, except OZ, were written for the stage (later made into movies.) Wizard of Oz was a scrore writen for the screen, and the best movie-music Drum Corp show EVER! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed our Oz production.

Cop Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) "J.C. SuperStar" was not music written for the screen. SCV "Phantom of the Opera" was not movie music (before someone names that show). Edited December 2, 2005 by Cop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
