I guess it's a little hard to put a jazzy tune like this onto a field for DCI. The structures don't go very well together, not that I've heard yet at least.
Very nice! This is the first adaptation of Strawberry Soup I've heard that actually hung together as a piece. The drum and bugle corps arrangements I've heard carve the original up so abruptly that unless you've heard the original, you have no clue what's going on.

Always love "Strawberry Soup". First heard the Scouts perform it back in the early '80's... great job with the marimba version!

Almost as good as the composer (Don Ellis) did it himself...
