MARCHING BANDS GOING CRAZY OVER CAR COMMERCIAL TUNE

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (Wireless Flash) – A techno tune from a car commercial is starting a “commotion” with America’s marching bands. The song “Start The Commotion” by the European pop band The Wise Guys is featured on a Mitsubishi TV ad, and high school marching bands are clamoring to get copies of the sheet music. A Milwaukee-based music publisher say it will rush into release a marching band version of the tune before high school football season starts in a few weeks. Paul Lavender of Hal Leonard Music says a staff arranger stayed up all night to make sure the ditty will sound good on trombones and piccolos. He predicts “Start The Commotion” will become the No. 1 tune in the Marching Band Top Ten within three weeks, replacing “Who Let The Dogs Out” as the most popular band tune.
