What if there was such a thing as a DDR marching band show? I think it would be fun, say if there was Max 300 for one of the songs and we all march at 300bpm.

(only for hispanics)
What if there was a show with hispanics playing DDR? I think that'd be fun too. Then we can all wear shirts representing our countries.
-.-

I think it would be awesome to have a DDR band show, cause playing the music would be awesome, but marching it, and actually putting any showmanship into it would be pretty hard.
other than that, I would love to do it.

Last year, the band I was in had a variation of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which had a drumbreak where everyone danced... that counts, right?

If I were watching a marching band that started playing a song that came from DDR (not brought into DDR, like the tunes for V and other classical pieces), I would probably immediately leave.

You wouldnt have to march at 300bpm, just match in cut time.

Hah. A DDR show would be asinine. Although it would be funny to do something with a bunch of tempo changes. LOM --> Bag

I love DDR, and I loved marching band while I was in high school. Danced my kiester off.

But don't put the two together. That'd hurt in more ways than one.

I was in the drumline in my high school marching band, and I have to say that the idea of marching 300 bpm is competely and utterly ridiculous. The fastest I ever had to march for any one movement in a show (about 2 minutes) is 168 bpm. And that was with carrying 40 lb. drums (tenor drums) at my waist. And no, it wouldn't be any easier for woodwind or brass instruments. I couldn't imagine marching 180-200 bpm for any extended length of time (oh hi Drum Corps International), let alone 300 bpm.

Other than that, the idea of a (physically reasonable to perform) ddr show for marching band has floated through my mind several times.
