Sayre Kulp Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 So I was just wondering to myself as I spent the day snowed in with my wife... What are your all-time favorite drum corps tunes. I mean individual pieces. So don't tell me you like '94 Devils. I want to know what SONGS everyone considers their all-time favorites / drum corps classics. The idea is junior corps, senior corps, whatever. ANY song(s) in the vast history of the activity that you consider the epitomy of what drum corps is. HAVE AT IT!

TomMoore Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Several tunes from the Balance in Blue quickly come to mind for me: Sylvia Adagio for Strings Farandole Russian Christmas Music Festive Overture Novorrosik Chimes (Fire of Eternal Glory) I'm sure there are more from farther back that I'm forgetting pre-coffee!

buzzgok Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Kilties - Auld Lang Syne SCV - Russian Christmas Music Sky - NY NY Brigs - If ever I see your face (only played one season, but WOW, what an arrangement!) 27th Lancers - Danny Boy Bucs - Festive Overture Westshore - Love for Sale Bayonne - Big Noise There is alot that the Cabs have played through the years that I like, but I don't know the names of the tunes. Just to name a few Edited February 15, 2007 by buzzgok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spcbrass Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Brigs - If ever I see your face (only played one season, but WOW, what an arrangement!) That song is back for our 2007 program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander71 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Some favorites might include; Man of La Mancha Flamenco Cha Cha California Dreaming Tenement Symphony Brazil Rampart Street Parade Elk's Parade Fire of Eternal Glory A Place to Stand (Ontario) Stars and Stripes Forever What about the dogs? Those horrible pieces they MADE you play against your better judgement? Any terrible tunes that just didn't work out for drum corps? I often thought that you could always tell the piece a corps loved to play as against one that they hated to play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Nat said!!!! Other Sunriser faves of mine: Evergreen, Procession Of The Nobles, Come Follow The Band, Folk Song Suite, An American In Paris, among others. Skyliners' "Little Ol' New York" might very well be my all-time favorite opener..... or off-the-line, as we called it back in the day. :) Fran Edited February 15, 2007 by Fran Haring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
