Winter Guard

 

 

What is great about winter guard, is that the directors get to choose the music.  What is even better, is that they can do a winter guard show to just about anything that they would like.  However, keep in mind that in order to be taken seriously, the winter guard show needs to reflect a level of sophistication, and since Color guard is synonymous with DRAMA, choosing a song with a dramatic level of musicality will be more impressive than a show to "Sesame Street".  

There is software that you can buy or download that will enable you to cut and mix music.  You can also add narration to the song of your choice to make your show song truly a one of a kind creation!

Here are some good Winter Guard music selections:

1.  Edwin McCain:  "I'll Be"

2.  Bond: "1812 Overture"; "Gypsy Rhapsody"

3.  Josh Groban:  "Oceano"; "Remember"

4.  The Matrix: Reloaded Motion Picture Soundtrack:  "Furious Angels"

5.  Switchblade Symphony: "Dissolve"

6.  Lorena McKennit: "The Mummer's Dance"; "The Highway Man"

7.  Moulin Rouge Motion Picture Soundtrack:  "Your Song"; "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend"

8.  The Eagles:  "Hotel California"

9.  Coldplay:  "Clocks"

10.  Enya:  "Only Time"

11.  Smashing Pumpkins:  "Tonight, Tonight"
