Trust me , different shows are popular in differnet areas.

This past fall I heard two bands play almost the exact same over-played show;
Fanfare for the Common Man
Hoedown
(one band played Billy the Kid, the other some other Copland song)
Appalachian Spring
Keeping with the over-playing spirit, one of those bands is playing the
king of over-played pieces this next fall, West Side Story.
On top of that, I think I heard Intermezzo from Carmen 2-3 times at every
shows I was at this past fall. I hate that song.

The Firebird is a very cool and very challenging piece. I played it in 1996

It may be boring to hear songs played more than once, but as long as the piece
is played musically and adds to the band's field program, it's fine with me.

In my oppinon, i think every year seems to have a trend with over played shows.
examples: in 95 I noticed West Side Story was quite popular. 96 was definetly
the year of The Inferno, and 97, Evita was the pick for that year. So, after
sitting through at least 3 bands play thoes per year...I'm eger to find out
what I shall add to my "Annoying over played songs" list for next season. Any
ideas?
Note: all of my oppinions are based on what I saw at BOA and local competitions
in the Dayton/Cincinati area.

Les Mis and Phantom are overplayed? I've never heard anyone do them.

Hey! I resent that! The Inferno is not overplayed. Not only was it
just written last year but I only know of one other band that did it. To
call a song overplayed I think I would have to have heard it at least 30
times.

Russian Christmas Music seems to played pretty often. But it's also my
favorite field show tune!

Written last year? I don't think so. You would have to hear it at least 30

change your view on that.

Jaina, you need to get out. In 88, 89, 90 and a few years after, it seemed
that over half the bands were doing those shows.

HAHAHA!! My band program played both Les Mis and Phantom in that time period!!!
I think our band has done a lot of overdone shows though.. we are starting to
move away from that now.. this year we had all new music written for us.. it
was all origion..
here are some of the shows my school has done.. a lot of them are
overplayed....
-The Devine Comedy (Inferno and Ascention)
-Stormorks
-Gettysburg
-Jurassic Park
-Robinhood
-Les Mis
-Phantom
-Swan Lake (and various other Tchykosky)
-Gershwin Show(American in Paris&others)

How about Malaguena/Malaga. That gruesome twosome has to be the most
overplayed duo in history, esp Malaguena.

Jeesh!! Give her a break!! In 88, 89, and 90, she was only 6, 7, 8, years
old!!!!! I surely didn't know any shows at that age!

Judging from the posts I've seen lately, here and drum corps, Star Wars may
soon be left in the dust by Titanic, both on the field and at the box office!

unbelieveable!!
BTW, some shows overdone:
Les Mis
West Side
Phantom
Fiddler on the Roof
Belshazzar's Feast
Planets
Carmen

App Springs

I remember that. My favorite moment of finals was hearing a judge
exclaim "ANOTHER ONE?!?" after hearing the opening "The next band in
conference 5A" announcement for only the third band that played
Appalachian Spring. Pretty funny! All I thought of was "Yep and
there's still one to come."

inferno is a horrible show unless you are a very fine band that can do the
music justice :)

I thought there were FIVE bands that played App. Spring at Texas 5A
finals! I believe the only ones who didn't were Winston Churchill and
Westfield.

This is one of the most difficult pieces ever preformed by a High school
band. This is very tough considering that the music has to be played just
like a regular concert band
To do this you must have great and outstanding players I only seen this
show played once by the National Trail Marching Band in 1994 Located in
New Paris Ohio. These guys were tough and played holst very well and
earning a superior rating at state competition >

Personally, I didn't like Ooltawah's show last year when they used the

Anyway, I think Star Wars is played too much by marching bands, but I do
have to admit...Star Wars rock!!!
