Also so much Disney/Dreamworks music is overlooked. This music was created by professionals to help create a story that often ends up making hundreds of millions of dollars in profit

This music was created by professionals to help create a story that often ends up making hundreds of millions of dollars in profit Not so much overlooked, but oftentimes hard to get copyright approval from, at least in regards to Disney. Not quite as notorious as artists like John Williams or Leonard Bernstein, but still. They definitely do not allow any character likeness though, so it’s a tougher sell on the visual side than the music side.

That's how they were able to make the movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey cuttingforbusiness.com/8-characters-public-domain-crafters/

This might be a dumb question, but how and where do groups/show designers/band directors get the rights to play certain pieces of music that are copyrighted (specifically pieces of music owned by large corporations)? I know that "getting the rights" might not be the correct phrasing or way to refer to what is happening, but hopefully you get the gist. Who do they contact, how do they get in contact with those people, and what is the financial process like for interactions like that?

A single company is now basically the one-stop-shop for securing arranging and performing rights. Which is convenient, you can see if something is available in about 3 clicks and 10 seconds, but... well... It's complicated.

Phantom of the Opera & Wednesday style shows aside... I'm sure there have been some in the past that I either can't recall or haven't heard of, but have there been any well produced horror shows (using actual horror movie themes)? Halloween was on my mind since October is coming up which piqued my interest. I can see the main theme for '28 weeks/days later' arranged with another that's similar making a great ballad. Of course props and costuming would be fun for it as well.

I've always loved this show! Would be cool to see a show pop up with a more 'evil' take on popular franchise themes out there (Exorcist, Silent Hill, Halloween, etc.) to give Cedar Park a run for their money lol

"Love Is in the Air," the John Paul Young hit from 1978, written by Harry Vanda and George Young (no relation).

Yesterday on the radio I heard the last few minutes of the Trio for Sax, Violin and Piano by Nikola Resanovic, and based on what I heard, I think that might be a fun piece to adapt for marching band. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a recording available on Youtube.

Just watched a TikTok of a choral arrangement of this piece. Could definitely make a nice ballad or subdued ending!

Has any band ever played the theme music to the old Clint Eastwood western, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Recently ran across this on YT. Danish National Symphony performing this piece. I was blown away. Take a listen.

Has any band ever played the theme music to the old Clint Eastwood western, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? Recently ran across this on YT: Danish National Symphony performing this piece. I was blown away. Take a listen. That is indeed a very fine performance of some Ennio Morricone themes from Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966), the third Spaghetti Western (following Per un pugno di dollari (aka Fistful of Dollars, 1964) and Per qualche dollaro in più (aka For a Few Dollars More, 1965) in Sergio Leone's so-called "man with no name" film trilogy (this is something of a misnomer, since Clint Eastwood's character is called by a name, albeit a different one, in each of the three films: Joe, Manco, and Blondie, respectively). Yes, many bands have played these tunes before. I just saw a band play the main theme at the Louisville (Ohio) competition on Saturday. Additionally, according to DCXMuseum, at least 19 drum corps have played the main theme. The other theme in your recording, "The Ecstasy of Gold," was perhaps most famously assayed by Carolina Crown in 2016 in a show that won the captions for brass, visual, and color guard. None of that should prevent more bands from tackling these and other compositions from Morricone's 74-year career. In DCI this year, Troopers played Morricone's " L'Ultima Diligenza per Red Rock" from his Academy Award-winning score for Quentin Tarantino's 2015 film The Hateful Eight. And while we're at it, how about some classic Japanese film music? For example, Leone's first Western, Fistful of Dollars, was an unauthorized remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 masterpiece, Yojimbo, whose score by Masaru Sato contains some catchy melodies that support the film's sardonic tone.

In light of the passing at age 87 of folky British baritone singer-songwriter (and talented whistler) Roger Whittaker last Wednesday (but only announced today), I'd like to recommend a few tunes he performed as being adaptable to the football field, including his own "The Last Farewell" (1971, co-written by Rob Webster), "New World in the Morning," "You Won't Believe in 'If' Anymore," "Durham Town," and his cover of "Dirty Old Town" (probably best known from a later version by the Pogues). And as a bit of an amateur whistler myself, I have to note one of his whistling tunes: What are the best examples of whistling in the marching arts? (Off the top of my head, the only thing that comes to mind is the beginning of Boston Crusaders' Les Mis show in 2011.)

Thank you for the education on this piece. I'm relatively new to the marching arts and will have to look for some of the performances you mentioned. Kind of showing my age a little, but I remember many of the movies you mentioned. Big fan of those westerns.

I'd love to hear Festal Scenes by Yasuhide Ito. I played this piece in concert band when I was in high school in the mid 90's. Parts of this would be great for marching and the middle for a ballad even.

Cadets 2005 - "The Zone" opening from Twisted Nerve immediately comes to mind. Although not whistling, the clarinet feature in Avon 2017 "Test4ment" makes me think that.

I should have thought of the Cadets' top-scoring show. And I haven't seen many finalist-caliber bands in person, but I did see that Avon show in Canton; that was a cool effect.

One more: "The Ecstasy of Gold" was both the title of, and a selection in, the show that won the BOA Grand Nationals Class A championship in 2021, by Murray H.S. of Kentucky.

I've been listening to a lot of rock/heavy metal bands because I'm going to Louder Than Life this fall with my son. I keep finding myself imagining how the music would sound if it were played by a marching/concert band. I'll try to list some specific songs, but it's been an interesting thought project. Coming back to this. Songs by bands that were at Louder Than Life on Saturday when I was there. - Sugar by Strange Kids
- Emergency Contact by Pierce the Veil
- Throat by Afterlife
- Afterlife and Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold
A song that I just recently heard for the first time is Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) by Daughty. The entire time I listened to it, I could hear how it could be played by a band. I don't know if any of these songs would necessarily be good in a marching show, but I think they would all sound interesting.
