^_^

Humor aside, some shows come off REALLY well. My first year in NMSU
PRIDE, we marched Disney's Fantasmic (anyone who's seen the Fanstasmic
stage show at one of those parks has heard it), and in the Rock and Dance,
we did it just like it was done at Disney...er, World or Land. Opened
with a blazing guitar solo (the theme from Fantasia's Sorcerer's
Apprentice) backed by two electric basses. The brass had back up chords
and counter melody - really smashing stuff.

If you've got a ripping battery/pit section, some guitar players who can
REALLY put on a show, and a good
mello/trombone/marchybaritoneuponiothingees (I'm not starting THAT thread
again ^_^), give the show a shot. It's a LOT of fun. ^_^
