Brian Ngo Posted July 14, 2005 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
itsstephenyo Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 appalachian springs, the planets suite.... even though SFA and Cedar Park did veeeery good arrangements of both these pieces, respectively. Quote

TX Suh-nare Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Even though I love it, I have to say West Side Story. Good stuff, but I guess I'm not alone. Quote
arundo Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 If the music has been in a movie, It's been overplayed...Although I have never seen a Harry Potter show lol. Has anybody? Quote
TRtrumpet Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 nope. I've never seen or heard of a harry potter show. Quote
TRtrumpet Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Nope... I've never seen or heard of a harry potter show Our band was gonna play a song from harrry potter though about 2 years ago but it was sooooo boring Quote
RVMello1 Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 YEha and i never heard anyone do a "Lord of the Rings" or "Star Wars". but i think star wars will probably show up somewhere eventually. Quote
TRtrumpet Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 We did a star wars show about 2 years ago... it was great. Quote
arundo Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I need to see your schools band...thats 2 shows of yours I want to see.. Quote
TRtrumpet Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 yep...lol. Our BD makes sure we never have boring music or music everyone doesent like. haha. It's kinda easy when you have a 30 piece band... Quote
Dynasty Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Rhapsody in blue is overused, although when its good (Like Phantom this year), ITS GOOD! Quote
TRtrumpet Posted July 25, 2005 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

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. Quote

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? Quote
