Brian Ngo Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 What are some songs that you guys think that marching bands play way too often? I would say Medea, Symphonic Metamorphasis, and A Young Person's guide to Orchestra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Rhapsody in blue is overused, although when its good (Like Phantom this year), ITS GOOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Ive also heard alot of bands in my area play a song called "Jamestown Brigade" ... Ahhhh I love that song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWPTrumpet Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 It'd be awesome to do the "Masquerade" part. That dude dancing on the stair is pro. Especially that part of Masquerade after the long instrumental part where the vocalists come in again, but at a slower tempo, and a trumpet plays fairly high. That would be very cool.

RVMello1 Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 We did a star wars show about 2 years ago... it was great. Really, What band r u in? and what year did u guys do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 during marching season, pirates of the carribean is WAYYYYY over played in my area... I remember the time when the movie Gladiator came out. Every band around used it! Don't it seem odd that all the best music is overplayed?
