Working on a marching show idea

So Im coming up with ideas for a marching show, I really like this one. What do you guys think?

Hi @NicholasG!

When I first played this mp3 I turned my head away from the computer for a second and I thought a police officer was somewhere out on the street blowing his whistle at some traffic situation or something LoL!  You've got a great idea and thematic content to build the rest of the piece on.  Keep going!  I would start by writing as many variations on the main theme as I can come up with and using that to develop the piece.  But that's coming from someone who has never written a marching show.  Thanks for sharing!

Hi @NicholasG,

The opening sounds exciting, but the whistle reminds me more a football match than a march! I like the marching rhythm though it sounds more like an advertisement music for me to be honest. The opening C minor passage is great, it reminds me of the background music of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawerence when David Bowie kissed  Ryuichi Sakamoto!
