Transfiguration by Key Poulan

Ah, our show next season is Key Poulan's, "Heartbeat".

Hopefully we'll be spicin' up that percussion score, 'cause it sounds pretty basic.

I should know mine in the next few days, unless they haven't come up with one yet.

I hate all of you that get to play Key Poulan stuff and whatnot. We're either getting a Latin or Funk.

I want a show that's really intense/epic/whatever, but my director likes "fun" (meaning, poppy/groovy/plain cheesy) stuff. The only thing I see that would be intense is Malaguena in a Latin show, and that's one of the most overplayed songs ever by marching bands. We've gotten a few new charts to check out, but they're all Bossa Nova/Samba stuff, not intense Spanish stuff that I'd want to put on the field.

Oh, and whichever show we get, I'm not getting my hopes up for having an actual drum feature. That'd be the third year in a row without something more than a 2-4 bar break.

Gah, being a corps-style drummer in the showy band in town sucks.

Key Poulan gets really old, really quick. This is one of his charts that didn't sound like the other three we did.

if you go here and then click connexus, this is our show for next year, you can listen to a sample Mp3 http://www.gpgmusic.com/index.php?option...6&Itemid=26

we played pirates for our senior night show... freakin awsome dada dah dah dada dah dah dede dee dee deeeeeee deedah

We're playin' an original show written completely by one of our alum called Chain Reaction.

We just found out that we'll be playing a western-themed show. Our band has actually played it multiple times before, as our band director has been recycling the same shows for the 30 years he's been directing. (A great pet peeve of mine - we do nothing new/innovative.)

Apparently the entire band gets to wear cowboy hats instead of shakos. Oh joy.
