Elmo Blatch Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) As a horn player, I remember making up lyrics to the music we were playing, particularly if we were working in visual rehearsal or just plain horsin' around. Sometimes the words were funny, sometimes obscure, sometimes disgusting, and sometimes they made absolutely no sense. I even remember certain parts of shows when I watch them on DVD too. For example, even though I didn't march the 1994 PR, there is a drum part that my friend would say "Gobble Gobble Gobble da Gobble Gobble Gobble" every time she saw it. Now, that is stuck in my head everytime I watch/hear it and I find myself saying "Gobble Gobble Gobble da Gobble Gobble Gobble" along with the music. There are many more, so lets hear them.

Elmo Blatch Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Ok. Which person on here with Admin Rights went in and fixed my topic? I refreshed it two or three times just to see. If you are trying to pull a Charles Emerson Winchester III pants stunt on me, it worked.

Biff Hornmello Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Closer of Colts 05: We actually had this whole story one of our techs created, where the baritones were this old uncle guy telling his kid about this theme/amusement park, and then the mellos chimed in with excitement about the park, then we had that building excitement when the corps flips backwards, mellos have this high thing: "we're gonna go and ride the rides we really wanna ride the rides we're gonna go and ride the rides." Then we get to the big hit, and we're like "We're here!!! To Ride the rides! And we're gonna ride them all day long, etc etc." Yeah. It was amusing, anyway.

Malibu Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I do remember in '79 after working past our lunch break, in the middle of the opener the hornline sang; "Lunch Break Lunch Break Lunch Break WE WANT FOOD......NOW!!! (Big loud chords) They won't give us food (Sops soli) Guess we'll have to starve..." That's all I remember.....it was so long ago, but funny at the time.

euphonium96 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 1994 Regiment Cadets - Battle Music from "Beauty and the Beast" - the music builds to a climactic "eighth, half note" thing - sounded like "BAT-MAN" from the 1960's TV series theme (You know; na-na na-na na-na na-na, BAT-MAN!) which is what we refered to it as, even to the point of singing "BAT - MAN!!!" duirng that part in visual rehearsals. Within my group of horn playing friends, we made up goofy words to the drum solo too. I distinctly remember a part that, in our minds anyways, went "Ta-Co <rest><rest> TACO-SUPREME!" Anyhow... now that I've outted myself as a total crack addict... -TGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps_forever07 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Haha good thread...Too bad the words we made up in CR 04 are too bad to post on here. They were to the Exaltare theme in the opener and closer and to Scootin' on Hardrock, our transition piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capregrookie05 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 There was one part in the middle of the opener of Chiaroscuro, where the entire corps went Duh-duh-dut-dut-dahhh ... before a hit. "Ab-bey has wrong gloves." "Here comes gold-en-fish." I know there were more. I'm sure everyone has done the "Are we running sets H to O?" thing too.

capregrookie05 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 ALSO, am I the only person who sings "Goooing home, goooooing home" to the New World Symphony baritone solo of PR '89? I SWEAR I heard some kind of song sung to that tune with those words, but every time I say that people look at me weird! *expects more weird looks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
show_mellow Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I'm sure everyone has done the "Are we running sets H to O?" thing too. What's my dot? H 2 off the thirsty-five? :sshh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
