Star Fox + Drum Corps....


DZComposer

Recommended Posts

I've made some changes to the ballad.

For over a year, an idea has been brewing in my head: Star Fox music for Marching Band.

Finally, I decided to make it a reality. However, instead of going to full bands, such as what your school may have, I decided to do Drum Corps instead.

Don't worry, I haven't quit on the musical. Its going slow. A lot of work for one person and help is not as easy to find as I had hoped.

Anyhows, back to this project. I am using music from Star Fox SNES, Star Fox 64, and Star Fox Adventures.

Please note that I am not writing this to conform to any drum corps organization rules, so it may be illegal in DCI, DCA, or any other organization.

Musical Numbers:

Opener: Star Fox 64 Medley (SF64)

-Theme

-Fortuna/Sector Z

-Meteo

-Area 6

-Boss 3

-Corneria

Ballad: Krystal's Theme and Game Clear (SFAs and SNES)

-Krystal's theme (needed altering to make brass and marching-friendly)

-Game Clear

-The drums aduring the last chord of Game Clear are based off of the Cape Claw BGM (SFAs)

Percussion Feature: Title Screen (SF64)

-SF64 Title Screen

-Original Stuff

Bridge: ANDROSS!!!! (SF64 and SFAs)

-SF64 Andross

-Andross Brain

-SFAs Andross

Closer: Staff Credits (SNES and SF64)

-Credits (SNES)

-Credits (SF64)

Drum Corps instrumentation:

Trumpets (I used a Flugelhorn solo in the ballad) [Called "Sopranos"]

Mellophones (Horns) [Called "Altos"] NOTE: I used F Horn sounds as I have no Mellos.

Euphoniums [called "Tenors"] NOTE: I used Trombone sounds as I have no Euphoniums

Tubas [called "Contrabasses"]

Snare Drums

Tenor Toms

Bass Drums

Marimbas

Xylophone

Vibes

Timpani

various drums

cymbals

various percussion accesories

I have some samples ready. The Opener is about 45% complete. The Ballad is about 95% complete.

New stuff! The bridge (ANDROSS!!!) is now 80% complete.

Thre is no battery yet. This is susposed to lead straight into the closer with no pause, so the ending feels a little open.
