    What would it be? (Let's assume that the 'band' in question is GOOD... and that the arrangement is straight from Johnnie's music folder.)

    For me, Battle of Hoth, no contest. I love that piece. So much going on... it'd be so much fun. And it's LONG.

    What would yours be?

    That's Flanders to you, Poodles. :p


    I'd go with DOTF, most becaue I know it'd sound SO bad but I'd get an incredible adrenaline rush from playing it!

    The Gungan parade piece. Quality stuff. (We'd play it as heard in TPM, edits, sound effects and all.)

    Or, of course, The Happy Senators' Theme. :D




    Rick McCallum loves you!

    what kind of band are we talking about here? lets say its MY band... if i had a band it would be some sort of combo group, like three saxes (alto, tenor, bari), piano, and a drum set... i'd play the cantina band definitly! also i think DOTF would be cool in that arrangement.

    wow, seeing a post from AdamBertocci with 'the Happy senator's theme', followed by Rick McCallum loves you! is one hell of a deja vu.

    Hmm

    I am planning on doing rock renditions of the important themes in my band. Currently I've transcribed the guitar and basslines for the imperial march, main theme, DOTF and even across the stars. Of course ATS wouldn't be a hard rock song. That would be blaspheming.

    Anyway we've not sat down and practiced them as a band and I have yet to get my drummer to start working on it. having drums in star wars is a bit odd, but i have always pictured DOTF with some very heavy drumming. And there's always the snares in the main theme...

    Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing sheet musis for the Happy Senators' Theme sometime in the near future. :D

    "Zam the Assassin."

    ....of course, our drummer would die of a heart attack halfway through it...

    Since the Battle of Hoth has already been mentioned, I'll go ahead and choose the Trade Federation Droid March.

    lol

    hey Adam I like the fact that instead of bunging 'Rick McCallum loves you!' in your signature you instead take the time to type it out separately.

    If only I had thought of that first. Hmmm

    John Williams Hates You (GL)!

    Hey forgive me for being a moron, but am I correct in thinking that the Happy Senator's Theme is the celebration music of TPM which sounds like a nice happy joy version of the Emperor's Theme?

    John Williams hates you (GL)!

    OK I'll stop that now.

    I meant band as in orchestra, symphony, whatever... concert band.

    But if you could do it, Battle of Hoth would sound awesome with a regular band (electric (x2?) bass, drums)

    "The Happy Senators' Theme" is a joke that grew out of my wondering if Bail Organa and/or his friends would have a theme. Emperor_Dan gave it its name.

    It isn't actually anything, though some believe that it's actually the Imperial March, specifically the rendition at the end of AOTC.

    I personally just use it to refer to generic non-existent SW music when answering questions of the "what's your favorite track?" variety.
