Adventure on the High Seas

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 [email protected] for a quote.
