triste_marek1357 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I've seen the marching band show with Halo and Kingdom Hearts as pieces, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on other music pieces that could potentially be arranged and used for a marching band show.

Ferret Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Final Fantasy always works well, but if you're going to be selecting pieces to use in a marching band I'd suggest shopping around different genres and titles. Some stuff translates better than others especially given the prevalence of brass in marching bands over other, more melodious types such as strings and woodwinds.

DragonAvenger Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 There's a youtube video of a Californian college doing a marching band video game show (I can't remember which one it is). They did Pong, Tetris, Mortal Combat, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and Mario if I remember correctly. If I wasn't at work I'd dig it up for you, but I'm sure someone will post it.

Schwaltzvald Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Iron Blue Intention - Castlevania - Judgement Septette for a Undead Princess Dear Eastern Blood (perhaps the best choice? Seems like it to me, just replace the strings with flutes) Goodluck on your search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderSlug Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I might've seen that same show. Where was it? Mario would probably work well, since it's fairly well known and usually pretty peppy. Aside from that, I'd also go with Final Fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1uphat Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm pretty sure that it was the University Of California, Berkeley, that did the Nintendo show. Youtube it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triste_marek1357 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks a ton! This will really help with the production of a video game themed Marching Band show. Anyone know where I can find some help with arranging pieces once I pick them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Skye Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I was once at a competition that did music from FF7, including, of course, OWA. And of course, I missed it because my band was warming up at that time. But my friend and I saw the shirts and were like "God damn..."

Kenogu Labz Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 If you take out the strings, Frog's Theme at the end of of the Chrono Series is very much in the style for a marching band. Something like that may work. Hope you can pull this off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
