nummy1 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) I had purchased the 1993 Star show from iTunes (orchestral).. funny to see how much star pulled from the original piece... Edited July 29, 2006 by nummy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Anello Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) I couldn't begin to tally all the pieces of music I bought as a result of hearing arrangements first on the field. Chuck Mangione, Kenton, Arturo Sandoval, Verdi Requiem, Britten's Young People's Guide - those are just a few. In 1976, I loved Phantom's Opener, but I couldn't remember which symphony it was from. So I looked around. Symphony of a Thousand sounded like the right description. What a great mistake to make. Back to the drawing board. Titan - that sure described what I heard that summer. Again, what a glorious mistake. By that time I thought "to heck with it!", and bought the boxed set conducted by Solti. Regiment made a Mahler fan of me.

Morgoth Bauglir Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 What?!?!? 86% of the people didn't need the music to be "accessible" AKA something they have heard before, for drum corps to be entertaiing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all in the presentation and design. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cire Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 for me id say no.. half the music i personally have no interest in, and the others ive probably heard before, or at least know who its by. there are a few songs that ive heard performed that i never heard before.. and there are a few songs that i listen to and think, man.. i could totally see X corps playing this.. and later i find out that they already have. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyTenor Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I can't say I "use" drum corps to find new music. It just kinda happened along the way! Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mello Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 No, but then again I have well over 5,000 CDs so I've been exposed to quite a bit. I do feel corps plays a valuable role in exposing the audience to music they would not have heard otherwise. When I was younger I definitely learned from drum corps and to a lesser extent marching band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Coming from a non-musical family and a neighborhood where it was R&B and hiphop all the time I found alot of great music from D&C. It started with mostly Phantom and Vanguard, I found alot of music I liked in the late 70's and 80's. I haven't found too much that makes me want to run out and buy a CD in the 90" and 00's.

JimF-LowBari Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Forgot before - Chops Inc 2005 closed with "Freebird". (Get the lighters out...) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssorrell Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Just think, if Spirit hadn't played Interstellar Suite, the drum corps world would otherwise have never heard that bit of music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
