All the fans love Final Countdown...I personally hate it because all the flutes have is whole notes through the whole bloody thing. I like December 1963, but I think I'm the only one

Among the top would have to be Time Warp, Get it On, Vehicle, and maybe In the Jungle. If anyone says YMCA, there will be death...

I would absolutely die if we could play Eye of the Tiger as played by Arizona State University's marching band. It's my favorite version of the song. www.asuband.org/sounds/Eye_of_the_Tiger.mp3I also love the Iowa State University Marching Band's (the ISUCFVMB) version of Carry on My Wayward Son. www.music.iastate.edu/org/marching/tunes/98CarryOn.mp3We play both of those, but not those arrangements. I also like: - Hey Pachuco! - Mortal Kombat (that's a one-liner) - The Hey Song - Iron Man - Call Me - Centerfold

LOW RIDER!!! The trombones would play it at football games and pep rallies, the drumline captain played cowbell and one of the senior drummers would dance around with the biggest bass drum. But then the director's wouldn't let us do it anymore b/c they said it was bad for the trombones' embouchre (sp?) . Shout it Out, b/c the DM who conducted it would do this awesome dance; even the football team loved it! And Iron Man, even though I almost went deaf every time I went to hold cymbals for the snares whenever we played it.

I wrote it out by ear in Finale from this: www.jmu.edu/music/mrd/media/2004/16.mp3I really hope our BD/my section leader will let us play it at football games!

My favorie used to be Build Me Up Buttercup..but our directors hated it My list of favorites that we actually play are: ~Jungle Boogie ~The Hey Song (only because we shout things other then 'hey') ~a remix of Imperial March from Star Wars ~...and just because it's fun to play, Roll Call (rap song, that sounds like crap) ~Frankenstein ~Pretty Fly for a White Guy

We played an arrangement of the musical WICKED in a community band I participate in. I love the musical, so I of course loved the arrangement. It was a ton of fun to play.
