If you were in charge of your school's marching show, what would you do?

 

Personally I think Star Wars music would be AWESOME (why hasnt anyone done star wars before? I mean people did Pirates of the Carribean) John Williams, if you really pay attnetion to his music rights GREAT stuff that could very easily be transcribed for MB. and its usually at good tempos too. not to mention the GE potential etc.

 

what esle?

 

Catch Me if You Can (more john williams)

 

Lord of the Rings (can you tell I like film scores?)

 

Firebird Suite (although I've only heard bits and pieces, besides the finale)

 

Eric Whitacre's "Paradise Lost" - see my other thread on this

 

thats it for now

My ultimate marching show would be:

 

Profination

Lincolnshire Posy - mvt 2

Jupiter

Selections of Appalachian Spring

I would definately watch that, I love all of those

 

If I were to make a show I think a big brassy jazz show would be awesome, I think that'd be so much fun. Dunno what music I'd put in it though

Although none of my pieces fit together very well, this is what I would like to hear:

  • Phantom of the Opera
  • Ballad from Jupiter (The Planets)
  • Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 - Movement 4 (Finale)
  • Dvorak's Symphony 9 "From the New World" - Movement 4 (Allegro con fuoco [fast with FIRE!])

Haha, exactly what I was thinking.

 

Medea = Woman killing her children.

Adagio = Passionate and beautiful.

well i've only heard two things by samuel barber.... and I didn't know what they were about. The thing that sounded the same (this is from LD Bell 2003 and i believe westwood this year) is the drumline/tuba/brass line at the beginning of LD Bell's show and the end of Westwood(?)s

Symphonic Metamorphosis - Hindemith, Mvt I

 

Ballad...hmmm....

 

Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5 - Mvt II

 

Shastakovich Symphony No. 5 - Finale

 

Would be one wierd show, but heck, its all music I love, so what the hey.

 

Edit - I suck at spelling their names, and they are probably still wrong lol.

I think I am in love with you.

 

 

SOOOOOOOOOO many tiems I have said STARWARS! But no one agrees. We need to just forget it is "Starwars" and just look at the music. It is so gorgeous, powerful.... its perfect for a marching show.

 

 

Catch me If you can, too. I hope to play that in concert season.
