December 12, 200718 yr Arrangement/composition based on national anthems sounds like a smashing idea, and one I would like to take part in. :D
December 12, 200718 yr As a flautist, I'd be up for doing a wind quintet composition with a few others.
December 18, 200718 yr So would I.... concentration in marimba here. ;) Maybe just percussion ensemble in general? It looks like that, or a wind quintet... How about.... Bells Vibes Xylo Marimba Timpani Snare and bass Tenors and cymbals Auxiliary How would we do it?
December 18, 200718 yr I can write the battery parts if ye'd like. It also helps I lead a battery section :)

December 19, 200718 yr Ahem.... NOT Caribbean.... even if we include a steel drum part. Anybody listen to DCI?
December 20, 200718 yr Yeah, I've heard a couple DCI shows. The only thing that I'd recommend against from this year is the horse themed show...
December 20, 200718 yr I love DCI! And I love percussion ensembles! Especially mallet parts! Count me in for sure!
December 21, 200718 yr Well, Here it is! I actually kind of like it... I'll love to see what you guys do with it! Theme.mid
December 21, 200718 yr If you guys don't mind. I took the liberty of putting down a few lines. There is only pit parts right now. Hope you like it. I took the theme and put it in a minor key. And it is written in double time of the original. Collaborative Percussion Ensemble.MUS Collaborative Percussion Ensemble.MID
December 21, 200718 yr Sweet! I like what you did with it! By all means, get the second guy to work! ... Then again, can you make the melody louder? I would like to hear the melody instead of the timpani... But you can do whatever.
December 22, 200718 yr We can work with that theme. I think we should write for indoor percussion ensemble. For those not familiar with this genre, think of marching band and drum corps. Indoor percussion ensembles feature a full batterie (drumline) and front ensemble (pit). The drumline actually marches, performing more intricate forms and motions then they normally would in marching band or drum corps, since here they are the main visual focus in place of marching wind instrumentalists. Indoor percussion ensemble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Here is an example of indoor percussion, sometimes called percussion theatre: (I know they're practicing outdoors :P (Actually indoors, this one is more interesting in my opinion)Those are two shows by Music City Mysitique (Indoor Percussion Ensemble) Even if you're familiar with the genre, listen to those, get this stuff in your mind. Is this what we want to do? This would add a snare line, tenor line, 5 tuned bass drums, and 4 to 6 tuned marching cymbals. We could come up with something really cool if we put our minds to it. Everybody up to it? :cool: Alright, how many people? If enough, we'll start a thread for this. P.S. I'm good in batterie, too, don't worry. ;)
December 22, 200718 yr I love indoor percussion ensembles! Count me in! And can we work with what I already have started?
December 22, 200718 yr If you want to join and do it, we can help. ;) You really don't have to know that much, as long as you can write okay music, I think you should be fine. :happy:
