| You may want to ask the same question in the classical music notes
conference. I'll bet you'll get many answers. They seem to be quite
prolific with their suggestions. Just key in

| 1733.3 | A few suggestions | MIMS::MCCLURE_D | | Mon Apr 19 1993 16:52 | 14 |
| When I taught drill team work (years ago!) we looked for classical
dance music. Polkas are great for trotting drills, John Souza marches
are great (not really dance - I know) for walking, especially
entrances. The snappy march stuff keeps the walks from getting too
lazy in the audiences eyes.
For a canter drill try the Skater's Waltz! It gets everyone in the
right mood, and the flowing sound of the music really involves the
audience. Another good place to look for cantering drills are any
of the Strauss waltzes - again, flowing melodies that get to the
riders as well as the audience!

There is a whole genre developed for equitation - it's a subgenre of
circus marches, referred to under the canvas as "screamers." They
were written to be played for the horse acrobats, and their intended
tempos are right for a cantering horse. (For a 4-H drill team, the
music's tempo might be less important than its style; that's an
executive decision best left to the drill team's leaders/advisors.)
There is a collection of some of the best screamers available on
Mercury Living Presence, recorded by Frederick Fennell and the Eastman
Wind Ensemble. If you're interested I can get you the catalog number.

The CD is Mercury catalog number 432 019-2. You should be able to find
it in a large record shop such as Tower - I assume there's a Tower in
either Baltimore or Washington, D.C. It's most likely to be in the
classical section.
If you can't find it locally, you can order it from H&B Classical
Redords, in san Antonio, Texas. They have an 800 number that youc an
get by calling WATS Directory Assistance (1-800-555-1212). H&B are
courteous, knowledgeable, and reliable, although they are a little on
the slowish side. (They usually take 2 to 3 weeks to come through.)
Good luck.

| re: last few
I have the "Screamers" CD mentioned in the last few replies. The tempo
of most of them is very fast - O.K. for circus acts but much too fast
for walk/trot exercises. I think I used one of the non-Screamer numbers
on that CD for Victory Gallop music when I used to announce at the
Shepley Horse Trials.
The way to try things out is to make a video recording of the drill
team and the movements they make. Then try matching various pieces of
music against the tape and see how it appears. The basic idea is that
the horse's gaits and rythym of the music match. It's all subjective
anyway so go with what appeals to you and members of your team.
