headless horseman could be interesting, we had thought of one recently, but didnt use it. it was a civil war theme. you would play some really famous song for the north used during the civil war, such as the battle cry of freedom, or battle hymn of the republic. then play a confederate song such as dixie, yellow rose of texas, something like that. then finish it out with guns and roses song Civil war, that was against the whole thing altogether.

Hmmmm....
- The Planets / Out of this world
- Tour around the world (but that's pretty common)
- The Jackson 5 (I saw/heard a band that did it and I fell in love with it. XD)
- Voodoo

Headless horseman sounds cool, but how are you going to pull it off as a show?

There's actually a video game half time show, if I happen to find it, I'll post it back biggrin but if I remember correctly, it meshes Mario, Zelda, Halo. Plus a couple others that I just forgot /:
I'll search for it if you'd like, though ^^

My favorite we've done (I'm not in marching band, just concert band, but it was still themed) was Old Rock/Pop. We did a song that was a mash-up of 3 Beatles songs, Louie Louie, We Will Rock You, and finished up with Funky Town.
It was a three school concert, then we had just our school. Louie Louie had a Trumpet solo part but none of our trumpets wanted to do it, so I got to play it (flute) with my friend Kaitlyn (clarinet). It sounded awesome.

My favorite concert piece would definitely have to be Rikudim, although I've never had the chance to play it /:
The best concert piece I've ever played though, would be Inferno from the Divine Comedy. Or Metroplex.
Yeah, Metroplex. smile

With the Old Rock/Pop them we also played 25 or 6 to 4.
Another one I liked was Veterans Day Patriotic. We started with the Star Spangled Banner, played a mash-up (we always play mash-ups) of 3 patriotic songs including: Anchor's Away, America the Beautiful, and Yankee Doodle. Then we played a song called New Orleans Jubilee which had When the Saints go Marching In and a hymn like song. Then we finished with the Star Spangled Banner but this time the audience had to salute the flag and sing. They had trouble singing because we kinda messed up. :/
We do all these songs, and I'm only in a middle school band. I'm not even in high school yet. I really like our BD he's really nice and very helpful. We even have 4th graders playing these concerts, which just proves how well our BD teaches. smile
