Future marching band ideas
Moana- Where we are- opener Let it go/Hallelujah for closer. Let it go with counter melody from Hallelujah for short little closer to wrap up long af show.(Get good at composing cause you're on your own for this one buddy.) I'll make a man out of you-Mulan- second song. Expressive DM is a must. Theatrical so guard must be on point, all of guard cross dresses for this. Multiple soloist. Some to younger people to give them a chance in spotlight. Dark side of the moon gets banners ran across the field. The rage of war band separates before and comes together. Melody at end has three separate sections from the band with a few guard mimicking movie. End with someone running from goal to goal with "weights". Be our guest-opener. Show off guard capt. Show off woodwind soloist or woodwind selection. Add in another song like Knowles did junior year with ending of Les Mis. for middle section before all of band comes back in. Visuals for 2 drum breaks. Leg jump thing you did in exit 1 for near ending. Leg kick company front for ending. Then full time into next song. Preshow-Do you wanna build a snowman. Pit and Soloists only, focus on guard. Key change for ending. Major rit. Really pull at emotional display. How far I'll go- All seniors solo. Closer. All seniors have choreography. Center around their journey through high school. Banner at ending for very last show saying we'll miss you guys! Have band sign it. In summer-mid show visual song. Nice little cool down. Have band yell out puddle super confused before they play again. Half the band says I'm gonna tell him, other half says don't you dare. A girl worth fighting for- midshow. Comedic relief to be fun silly. 4 Soloists. Strangers like me- opener. Fun upbeat 80's type show. Maybe lead into MJ. I won't say I'm in love- midshow. Show off guard. Soloists in middle of band. Represent Hercules and Meg. Have guard after soloist but it's unrequited until end. Colors of the wind- closer. Pull out seniors and have them dance through band. Ribbons. Different colored plumes. After show of the Disney theme that Jon Cozart does at end of Paint. Zero to hero. Opener. Have it as a song written by leadership. Belle- opener. Band is the city. Guard capt. Is belle. DM is Gaston. Junior DM conducts and changes into Beast. Have Soloists step out in front of "Belle". Choreography of them moving around each other in cirlces. Middle solo is color guard capt. Walking across the top of band as they make a flower that moves with her. Gaston and dudes solo with them facing Belle while she's looking off towards judges. Ending has band closing in around Gaston and Belle making them focus.
