  • Show Design and Wind Arranging for Marching Ensembles
    Show Design and Wind Arranging for Marching Ensembles Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John Michael Brennan, B.M.E. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Professor Daryl W. Kinney, Advisor Professor Timothy Gerber Professor Thomas Wells Director Jonathan Waters Copyrighted by John Michael Brennan 2014 Abstract The purpose this study is to illustrate current trends in show design and wind arranging within the marching band and drum corps activity. Through a comprehensive review of literature a need for further study on this subject was discovered. Specifically, texts from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s focused primarily on marching band arranging practices with minimal influence of show design. Since the 1980s, several documents have been written that discuss show design with some degree of detail, but have neglected to thoroughly address changes in marching band arranging. It is the aim of this thesis to discuss current trends and techniques in marching band wind arranging, and the higher level of detail placed into show conceptualization used by drum corps, competitive, and show band. ii Dedication To Rachael, the most patient, loving, and caring wife a husband could ever ask for. To my daughter Ellie Ann, who I cannot wait to meet in the coming weeks. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, my family has helped me immensely both in my personal and professional life. It is without their support, witty commentary (especially from my brother’s), and encouragement that I have been able to work in a field I am passionate about.
