bacara Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 i was curious about what parts of reagans 2005 show was original, there was one melody i thought might be original but then i heard it on the pride and prejiduce trailor, and then then i hear some stuff from springs 1993 show, so what parts were actually original?

Moose Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 The beggining.... Aaron Guidry = Two to Four measure little eighth note passages carried usually by the piano/pit, and sometimes the woodwinds. Usually at the begging of a show after some type of intro, and usually reappear later. See Reagan 03, 04, 05... Quote
Band Of Champions Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 All I got to say about Reagan's show is... BRAVO! Quote
the_DRUM_MAJOR Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 would anyone happen to know the flute part to the ballad of regans show?(the slow movement) Quote
QuadraticBeats Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Personally, being a drummer obsessed with competing, I'm more interested and jealous of Marcus High School (Their percussion director was a 3 time P.A.S. Collegiate Snare Champion, Adjunct Professor at University of Arlington, and apparently has a vast number of connections to very good percussionists... in other words, it's very, very hard to possibly compete with that. Dallas drumlines are scary and make we poor Austin area lines look like crap). Quote
Band Of Champions Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 ^ Did you hear about Martin winning Best Percussion Award over Marcus at the Birdville competition? Quote
Fortisimo Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Yeah, no kidding, and we won the Lone Star Drum Line competition. Our drum line owns Marcus's; our percussion director works with Phantom Regiment's percussion line like every summer. Quote

The arrangements of this year's Reagan show were so unigue, you could almost call the entire show an original composition. At the very least, a "Fantasy on the themes of..." But if you want to get techincal: Pre-show - Original Themes of Aarron Guidry, and themes from Profanation, Love Actually, and Symphonic Metamophosis. Front-Ensemble/Trpt. Feature - Original Music by Aaron Guidry W.W. Feature - Profanation and Blue Rondo a la Turk Main Opener - Symphonic Metamorphosis, Profanation Techo - Symphonic Metamorphosis, Symphony in Bb, Original Music by Aaron Guidry Front-Ensemble Transition - Blue Rondo a La Turk, Symphonic Metamorphosis Ballad - Jeax d'Enfants (not sure of the composer) Front-Ensemble Transisition - Original Music by Aaron Guidry Closer - Original Music by Aaron Guidry, Profanation, Symphonic Metamorphosis, Prime Minister's Love Theme from Love Actually (Craig Armstrong) ...and some other little things thrown in there for good measure!

They can not say they actually played Symphonic Metamorphosis and Profanation. They played a couple of measures of each piece that was spread over the entire show. No, I am not dogging them for their musical selection. I just think it is wrong for them to say they played the pieces when they didn't. edited: the quote Quote

Its like taking the words "Baby Got Back" out of that respective song and not explaining whe she has a huge butt. And what does not giving the composers their respective credit have to due with this conversation? I respect Paul Hindemith and Leonard Bernstein for their fabulous pieces. Quote
Skippy Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Yeah, you're right. Creative arranging is something that needs to stop, becaue I really love seeing the same shows over and over again. Quote

Plenty of bands take cuts of songs and put it in their show. We don't have to play the whole peice of music before we announce that it's in our show. "And what does not giving the composers their respective credit have to due with this conversation?" No. What I'm saying is, whether it be 'a couple of measures' as you claim, or the whole peice of music, it was still in our show.... so... we're going to annouce that it's in our show. You're not supposed to just play a melody from a song and then act as if you didn't at all. I'm done with conversation. Quote

Creative arranging is something that needs to stop, becaue I really love seeing the same shows over and over again. Agreed with you and Kinsey. Which reminds me.... The Glassmen performed a modern arrangement of Dvorak's 'New World Symphony' this past year. And, Westfield HS performed a ROCK and RAP rendition of Hindemith's 'Symphonic Metamorphosis' in 2002. IMO, it was still 'Symphonic Metamorphosis' and 'New World Symphony' to me be it rock, rap, classical, country, techno and etc.... Quote
nnelsonbsn Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Euro_euph06 doesn't know what he is talking about, just ignore him. If his statements were correct, everyone is playing excerpts, because I can tell you that no one plays a piece of music straight. Everyone arranges it somewhat, making it different than the original. Take our show from this year. Did we play Feste Roman mvt. 2 straight through? No. We took a piece of it and played that. So if Euro_euph06's statement holds true, no one should ever give the composer credit. Quote
bacara Posted December 15, 2005 Author Posted December 15, 2005 reagans show was still cool, i think thats all that matters right now Quote
Fortisimo Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Exgerm said: doesn't marcus host that competition? so they don't actually compete... Yes, but the one competition we faced them in we took the percussion caption strongly ahead of them. Quote
euro_euph06 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 I am withdrawing my previoius statements because no one is understanding my position. Quote

Maybe you're going for more of a "They should've said excerpts from......." as opposed to saying that they played the pieces, thus giving the impression that they played a good portion of the piece, or even the majority of it? I don't think arranging is part of euro_euph's arguement, I think it's more along the lines that Reagan played small excerpts from several (dozen?) pieces of music, and made it seem like they played more than what they did. No disrespect to Reagan, I'm just trying to clarify. Quote
