Ooh, I was in the marching band in high school. We never played THAT though. Dude, I would have given anything to have played that music. It's so phenomenal and haunting... I collect movie soundtracks that I like, and my friend finally bought it for me after I kept borrowing hers over and over. I can't get enough of that music. It compliments the story and the entire movie so well... The fiddle music at the fort and at the promentory (where it is repeated and added to) at the end are my favorites. So much emotion in those pieces. I totally lose myself in them when I am listening. Probably look rather eccentric at those times, but I don't care. It's so wonderous to me the way music can tug your emotional hold right out from under you with a few delicately placed and combined notes. I wish I had the talent to write music like that, but I am, alas, more of a player than a writer. I do write stories to it though. It's amazing how inspirational a musical piece can be. Danny Elfman (Batman, Black Beauty, Sleepy Hollow, Nightmare Before Christmas) is my muse and I write to him all the time. At elast, I used to. Need to get back into that habit...
