387 - Children of Sanchez

2008-02-04T02:01:15Z

Drummer52987:

=About the Song=
Words and music are written by Chuck Mangione. This version is arranged by John Higgins, with percussion by Will Rapp.
=Instrumentation Requirements=
Every section should be well represented for this song to sound it's best. Low brass is important for entrances at measures 5 and 53. Two trumpet soloists and a trombone/mellophone soloist are needed for measures 9 and 57, and a strong alto sax/mellophone section is needed for measures 33-41.
=Roadmap=
Measure 14 is in 2/4 time. The rest of the song is fairly straightforward.
=History=
*At measure 63, the conductor and any members of the band that feel so inclined traditionally yell "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2!" to fill in the significant empty space and ensure that everyone comes in at the right time.
*This song was recorded by the band in 2001 as part of the [[America's_Pep_Band_(album)|"America's Pep Band"]] album.
*Starting in roughly 2005, it has been customary for anyone not playing a saxophone to wave a hat, towel, or whatever over their head from measure 33 to 41.
*This song was played for the judges at the Uncle Sam Day Parade in North Troy during the [[2006-2007]] season.
*This song was played with the [[Colgate Pep Band]] when they visited during the [[2006-2007]] season. Their band jumps straight up and down for the first 4 measures of the song.
*This song was played in April 2007 as part of the set list for the RMA Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Concert.

Assistant Conductor

With women's hockey becoming D-I in the [[2005-2006|2005-2006 season]], the strain on a conductor grew, both physically and temporally. In order to relieve this stress, the position of assistant conductor was created. Each year, the newly elected [[conductor]] appoints up to three assistant conductors, who can fill in at events when the conductor cannot.

I'll suggest more as jwpepper is updated, but here's what I think is worth looking at after a quick run through the site:
*Dr. Feelgood: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10009598.ram
*Free Bird: http://www.halleonard.com/dealerAudioTerms.jsp?myName=J.W.%20Pepper%20%26%20Son%20Inc&mp3=03745149.mp3

And apparently I broke the site and it's not working anymore right now. So I'll definitely have more suggestions later. [[User:Trick trickster|Trick trickster]] 02:01, March 25, 2007 (EDT)
Working again....here's some more
*Layla: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10008621.ram
*Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10009227.ram
*Rebel Yell: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10009605.ram
*Seven Nation Army: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10017910.ram
*Spirit In The Sky: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10017911.ram
*Stayin' Alive: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10008625.ram
*Superfly: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/10017913.ram (I like this one a lot I think....the bass line is beefy)
*Johnny B. Goode: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/2437523.ram
*House of the Rising Sun: http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/2477674.ram

Thanks, those are some great suggestions. I'm going online soon to see what I can find. I now declare this page the idea box of pep band songs we can purchase/play. [[User:Drummer52987|Drummer52987]] 09:17, March 25, 2007 (EDT)

Of those songs, I like these the best (just my $0.02):

Johnny B. Goode 
Layla (if we can make it crisp) 
Rebel Yell 
Seven Nation Army (except for the ending, which is just weird) 

[[User:Gary|Gary]] 21:38, March 25, 2007 (EDT)

The ones I like are:

*Dr. Feelgood
*Layla
*Rebel Yell
*Seven Nation Army
*Spirit in the Sky
*Superfly
*Johnny B. Goode

I'm also going to see what I can do about arranging "Limelight" or finding it. [[User:Drummer52987|Drummer52987]] 21:49, March 25, 2007 (EDT)

Not that I'll get to play much of any of these songs, but sure, I'll throw in some thoughts. I liked these:

*Freebird - If they have the guitar part optional, and the solo written somewhere else, it's worth a shot. Otherwise, forget about it.
*Layla (I'm with Gary, only if it'll be clean)
*Rebel Yell
*Seven Nation Army - This sounded like a great song; then it ended. I listened to it three times before I was sure there wasn't something wrong with Realplayer. Not only does weird not begin to describe it, it's going to be damn near impossible to pull off. If the trumpets get ambitious next year, this'll be a great song otherwise.
*Spirit in the Sky
*Johnny B. Goode
*House of the Rising Sun - While I'm a fan, a lot of people are going to think this isn't very peppy, and they're probably right.

All in all, with a couple of these songs, we'll have an excuse to bring the gong to more hockey games ;) [[User:HLPXX|HLPXX]] 22:28, March 25, 2007 (EDT)

Out of the ones listed, the ones I like best are Dr. Feelgood, Superfly, Rebel Yell, and Seven Nation Army(except for the godawful ending). I also really like Johnny B. Goode, but we need to go to the library to make sure the one we have isn't the same arrangement (I think it's 150 something). [[User:Trick trickster|Trick trickster]] 23:35, March 25, 2007 (EDT)

About the seven nation army ending: it does suck. But I think it can be easily fixed by having the trumpets play the normal chord and adding a good stinger. [[User:Drummer52987|Drummer52987]] 00:08, March 26, 2007 (EDT)
