Geniousness is not a word Especially since the word genius doesn't have an "O" in it

Yes, I'm sure you could teach Beethoven what music's really about.... By the way, I need to correct your grammar spelling. It's "melodies", "melody's" is a possessive noun, implying that the melody physically has a suck....

Wait what? Marching bands are generally high school or college groups with both brass and woodwinds, with a drumline, may or may not have keyboard/concert percussion. They may either play in halftime shows for their respective schools, or perform at competitions, usually high schools do both.

Oh please, everyone steals. You steal, I steal, everyone steals. Christ, there's a part in Star Wars, I believe at the beginning of Return of the Jedi that sounds just like the Mystic Circle of Dancers or whatever from the 2nd act of Rite of Spring. That same section is BLATANTLY stolen from Nuages (Debussy) from Stravinsky. Igor did quite a bit of this as we all know, and we still love him. The point is, John Williams is a great composer, a DAMN good film composer and has done much more creative things and seen more success for his creativity than probably any internet schmuck with an opinion ever will. It's funny, I bet if John Williams, or John Cage or whoever else walked into your room right now you'd all be kissing their asses. Either that, or you'd actually have the audacity of throwing your own scores at them and saying, "gently caress you Cage/Williams/etc, my music's better than yours", then they'd just beat you with their Grammys' and Pulitzers....

40 points is a lot, you would know that if you were ACTUALLY intelligent. I'm like 147 or something, so I doubt I know anyone that's actually 100, not that IQ really means jack scraggy anymore. Oh yeah, stop trolling in my thread

People on this thread are just hoping that through bashing one composer, they might be able to say they are better than them. "Philip Glass is the worst _____, therefore I am better than him, listen to my music that tries to sound like Mozart or Bach with 2 minutes training of counterpoint"

What's with the strings? This should be in the Chamber board... I have a suggestion that you can experiment with. If you're going to repeat rhythms and harmonies and want to keep those same basic key centers, why not experiment with "non chord tones" or extensions or whatever you might want to call them to change the color and build tension through the repetitions. Otherwise, just copy/pasting in Finale isn't going to create much aural interest... Very pretty piece, needs a singer. i before e except after c..........

You also spelled "spelled" wrong. Spelt is not a word, I guess next you're going to say "Irregardless"

oh my god.... IT'S A JOKE!!! JOKE!! JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE Nothing abut this thread is serious at all, how can you not tell. I'll even repeat it... THIS THREAD IS A JOKE

Well I guess that's your problem, isn't it? I'm not in the business of debating semantics, your argument bores me.

I grew up in the wind ensemble, and I still play in the wind ensemble (mostly because I haven't had the opportunity to play in the undergraduate orchestra, aside from the Opera). That being said, I have a question, do you really like marches Justin?

Speak for yourself Also, a smart drill writer would make sure that the trumpet player is standing still, or that the band/corps is standing still. Of course it really depends on the musical context, so yeah, whatever. Anyway, high Es are perfectly playable on the move, if the trumpet player has the note and he isn't a crappy marcher, he should be able to play whatever he can standing still on the move But what do I know, I was only in a top 12 drum corps for 2 years....

Well according to your profile you probably live somewhere in America... I'm assuming you existed during the 90s and are aware of the Bill Clinton trial, you know, when he lied about getting a blowjob (obviously the worst thing a president can do right? Oh...) And that is one of the famous quotes, I mean aside from, "I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky". When he was on trial, at some point he said to the attorney, "That depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is" Honestly, if you didn't understand anything I said in my post, well........I guess I just fear for the future of a country I was once very proud of. I guess you're why gas is $4 a gallon and people give a scraggy about Hannah gently caress Montana for some reason.

Where are you auditioning? For the record, composition faculties are going to rip you apart if you submit this, seriously....
