Adventure on the High Seas is a
license-free marching band show (partial) based on swashbuckling piracy. The show tells a story of two pirate ships,
the Bass Clef ship and the Treble Clef ship, who eventually meet up with one
another on the high seas with disastrous consequences.
The first movement, titled
High Seas Fantasy, starts
with the ships in port making ready to launch in the form of an exciting
medley of sailor tunes and sea shanties and even quotes the media-popular
Wellerman until it finishes with the ships finally setting
sail with
Hoist the Jolly Roger.
The second movement starts with a calm and lilting sea shanty where the
ships are smoothly sailing along until they finally meet up with each other
in an explosive Battle featuring the percussion section. Which ship will go down and which will be
victorious? The second movement ends
with a victorious conclusion to the battle.
This could be the entirety of a shorter-than normal show, or, as
recommended, the director could finish the show with a stock arrangement of
popular Pirate movie music such as the themes from
Pirates of the
Caribbean or something similar to finish the show.
This price is for the show as-is and includes a percussion book;
customizations are available - contact
