anyone listen to marching bands?

I can't help it, my blood is scarlet and grey. I love to get up in the morning with the music of the Ohio State Marching Band. The all brass monster that stomps accross the ol Horseshoe.
Maybe you had to be there.

Are there any good quality recordings out there?

Go Bucks!

Definitely get the Blast DVD, it's fun to watch. A friend of mine saw the group perform at the NJ Performing Arts Center and ran out to buy the DVD, which I saw at his home on a big screen with audio played over a Dynaudio Evidence Master/Levinson 33 based system.

"Digital March", Tokyo Brass Ensemble, Japanese Denon release 38C38-7027. Well recorded, great dynamics, stirring as hell.

"World's Greatest Marches", Intersound 3828, 3 disc compilation. Everything from Sousa to Wagner to Elgar to Mendelssohn. Spotty recording/mastering quality but great variety and fun.

I love a march. Marches connect to ragtime; ragtime to stride. Check it out.
