"Original Gangster" is our show's title.
The visual themes are going to be mostly gangster-themed, i.e. fedoras, pinstripes, tommy guns, and the like. Our tubas are trying to convince the directors to swap their hats for fedoras or do-rags.
The music is a huge melting pot of jazz music, orchestral music, and hip-hop. Some of it is "Lex" by Daugherty (sp?), "Asphalt Cocktail" by John Mackey, music from The Godfather, Usher, Cypress Hill, I think I heard some Kilpatrick Fanfare in there... it's going to be so awesome. I'm really excited and my freshly-graduated boyfriend is so mad that he isn't getting to do the show. x3

Electric Impulses NeoRaptor99 well our band is doing the "video game experience" we are playing halo theme from the the 3 i think bounty hunter theme (advent rising) i had heard of the game but had never seen it before kingdom hearts from the first one i think they are very interesting arrangements and it's probably just me but its really annoying when me being a freshman has more memorized then alot of other people in the low brass
A band from my city did the exact same show
: P
They were really small.
haha we are probably smaller than them

Our show this year is titled "Spectrum" because we are using different colors and music to portray emotions. Our music consists of selections from Gustav Holst's "Planets"

Our Theme is "The Way of the Samurai," an original arrangement. It's broken into 3 movements (Obviously, opener, ballad, closer.)
The drumline is smaller, most in the pit which is very prominent. There's a section where the pit goes onto the field and becomes part of the battery, and we have a whole lot of visuals concerning the pit.
Even the guard is going to have fun doing it. Considering the rest of the band (wind and battery) doesn't have the option to dress as Samurai. Kickass, right?
