The music genre I am focusing on is 'college marching bands' who play at American football games. It is tradition to put on a big show at half time and the marching bands are there to do this.
I focused on Harvard University as there was too much information to process when looking into all of the bands.
My initial ideas:
- I have looked into Harvard's merchandise and I have considered designing my own t-shirts which will be given out at the matches.
- I have also done research into their anthems and I have considered creating a song book which has the lyrics as well as a brief history into the song. Also some songs have subliminal messages which secretly tell the team what to do.
- Another idea is to redesign the drum's side panel and to make my own.
- Creating a poster/ banner to advertise the band/ the football
- Doing something relating to the pranks that go on at the matches.
Feedback from the crit:
The t-shirt idea could be developed further, possibly have the subliminal message of the song on it.
Possibly create a t-shirt cannon like would be used at the match.
Watch Lemonade by Beyonce as there is a part in it with a marching band. You could potentially re-create an item of their outfit.
Designing the drum and making it an interactive piece.
White gloves are often worn by bands, could you potentially have a secret message in them?
