1983 IUP Marching Band, ELP: "Benny the Bouncer" (1 of 5) 

I 💖💖LOVE💖💖 the interpolation of Dvorak's New World Symphony. They just defined my 70's musical world when I was in the band(s)!

Superb! Very unusual, too.

Nice arrangement! Dr. C. Casavant must have been quite an ELP fan!

Good tune

I'm not a big fan of marching bands, but that was a good job of one of my favourite songs. The solo was no emerson solo though.

@thorsteele69 1982--ELP's Jerusalem 1983--ELP's Benny the Bouncer 1985--ELP's Toccata (loosely based) probably others as well...

no... you got to. KEEP THE GREAT VIDS COMING!!!!!!

Love this song, so I decided to look it up on youtube. I see this video...and i go to IUP and am currently a student. Total coincidence....weird

my iup mb video vault is almost empty. come on marching band alums, other folks must have vids from before this and from all the other years since! i'm waiting to see all that good stuff that i missed... i love to see how the band has grown and evolved, sweet stuff.

ROFLOL, who doesn't love flashdance?? okay, then i won't post our rendition of footloose either ;)
