My main blog is @schofielded and I am MUCH more active there! I won’t delete this one because it’s full of years of old posts and is my ao3 handle, but I don’t use it much anymore!
Here is the list of what I've figured out :) Some of these will just be the inspired music. Some will be marching arrangements that would probably be harder (not high school level lol) + w/o woodwinds. Some are very close to what I'll have listed.
Any songs that are from the Star Wars movies themselves are either known by different names or associations in this AU. For the sake of my sanity lol
Also disclaimer that these are not necessarily in the order the music would be arranged into in-universe
Enjoy!
Tatooine Sand Torrents — The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise
As mentioned in the fic, brought about by Anakin listening to Palps too much lol. Their show incorporates a freak ton of minor songs that have been excerpted throughout the entire thing. S/O to whoever their arranger is for that lol
Since there's so many excerpted, here's a handful of the ones I'd imagine to be in it, plus probably a few more:
Moonlight Sonata Movement 3 by Beethoven (YouTube, Spotify). This part also includes a pit feature because it'd be awesome. Imagine Dogma just absolutely shredding it on the xylo on those runs
Dies Irae (YouTube, Spotify) (as performed by Carolina Crown on YouTube)
Winter from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by Santa Clara Vanguard on YouTube)
Obviously parts of Plagueis' soundtrack throughout the show, though moreso in their sustained notes than by itself for an extended time (YouTube, arranged on Spotify since for some reason it's not on the official ROTS album)
Parts of Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by the ASU Sun Devil Marching Band on YouTube)
Closer is Sidious' Theme, based on the arrangement by Samuel Kim (YouTube, Spotify)
Stewjon Ghosts — Variations on the Opera of Tarre Vizsla
As I've stated before, theirs is based on Phantom Regiment's Spartacus show (seriously, go watch it). Their show is based on the ballet by Aram Khachaturian, so for this universe, something similar happened with Tarre Vizsla. The storylines are a bit different (obviously) and idk how there not being Jedi would impact it, but don't worry about it too much
Since this fictional opera does not exist, however, you can imagine it to be similar to the Spartacus arrangement, just more Mando in the storyline
Specific Spartacus piece I'd like to stay the same across the shows because it sounds cool: YouTube, Spotify
Their closer is an arrangement of the Dha Werda Verda/Vode An arrangement done by Samuel Kim (YouTube, Spotify). Idk how much of the chanting is included (at least a bit), but Wooley (pit member) plays the bes'bev during it and it's SO COOL and the crowd always goes nuts for it
Sidenote but their show title is really long so it gets shortened to "Tarre Vizsla" or just "Vizsla" most of the time
Felucia Stars — Quasar
Keeping with the theme of their corps name, this is a space-inspired show! Some of the songs mixed into their music are as follows:
Also Sprach Zarathustra by Strauss because it's not a space show without a reference to 2001: Space Odyssey (YouTube, Spotify, as played by the Ohio State Marching Band on YouTube)
Jupiter from The Planets by Holst (YouTube, Spotify) (marching arrangement, except they wouldn't have woodwinds: YouTube)
Starman by David Bowie (YouTube, Spotify) (marching arrangement, except they'd have a harder version: YouTube)
Ultraviolet by James Heather (YouTube, Spotify)
Firebird Suite by Stravinsky (YouTube, Spotify, marching arrangement on YouTube)
It is VERY important for all you to know that the Stars are always known for making a star-shaped set (or multiple stars, depending on the year) a la Carolina Crown and the Crown set. It's just extra-applicable this year ☆
Coruscant Guard — Triplet Zero
DCI loves a good pun show name (looking at you, Phantom Regiment "Phantom Voices" show from 1991 and Madison Scouts "MadiSpin" show from this year) and so does the GDC. Thus this one haha. All of the pieces they feature include triplets for obvious reasons or are in 3/8, 6/8, or 12/8 because I feel like a triple meter also counts for the pun and thinking of songs that have lots of triplets that aren't in triple meter is really hard to do without sheet music. Also I think Sly Moore would make it super hard on her band by having them switch back and forth between duple and triple meter the entire show. Songs are:
Mars from The Planets by Holst (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by the Santa Clara Vanguard on YouTube)
Obviously the Star Wars theme is classic for the triplet rhythm soooooo let's just say it belongs to a popular sci-fi movie franchise that is NOT just like their lives lollll (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by the Mighty Sound of Maryland (University of Maryland) on YouTube)
The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Dukas (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by the Ohio State Marching Band on YouTube) (also a part of The Academy's Drum Corpse Bride show but I couldn't find a link of it separated from the rest of the show)
Hold the Line by TOTO (YouTube, Spotify, marching arrangement on YouTube)
King of the Clouds by P!ATD (YouTube, Spotify)
Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears For Fears (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by Southern University on YouTube)
Kel Dor Wolfpack — Search for Destiny
This is a case of dramatic show name that doesn't really tell you what the theme is but still fits. (Which happens a lot with DCI show names haha.) Definitely has voiceovers connected to the theme. If anyone can pull it off without looking tacky, it'd be the Wolfpack. Their songs are as follows:
Brass Machine as played by the Vienna Brass Connection (YouTube, Spotify)
MacArthur-Park which has many different popular covers, so here are the links to a few: Donna Summer version: YouTube, Spotify; Maynard Ferguson: YouTube, Spotify; Vienna Brass Connection: YouTube, Spotify
Thank You For The Music by ABBA (YouTube, Spotify)
Victory by Two Steps From Hell (YouTube, Spotify)
The Theory of Everything by Jóhann Jóhannsson (YouTube, Spotify)
and a soundtrack piece that meshes them a bit better that I have not been able to pin down yet but I wanted to share this with all of you, so
Elite of Mirial — Time Feel
This is more of a jazz based show for sure, with an overarching music theme of time (even if not all the songs fit it). Also loosely pun-related show name based on the jazz term. It looks a little like this:
Out of Time by No BS! Brass (YouTube, Spotify)
Overtime by Youngblood Brass Band (YouTube, Spotify)
Ain't Nothing Wrong With That by Robert Randolph & The Family Band (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by the Pride of Mississippi Marching Band (U of Southern Miss) on YouTube)
Cantina Band (YouTube, Spotify, as perfomed by Carolina Crown on YouTube)
As Time Goes By by Billie Holiday (YouTube, Spotify, as performed by the Ohio State University Band on YouTube)
I highly suggest listening to Overtime and Cantina Band back to back. They're what kickstarted my idea for this show haha. And maybe Cantina Band has a slightly more time-related name in this AU, who knows
Raxus Sepia Tailcoats — Confined in Spirit
Yes, this is the Separatists in marching au form hahaha. Sepia Tailcoats -> Seppies (as they have thus only been referred to so far). And, yes, the show name is a play on the acronym. Songs are:
Dooku's Theme (YouTube collection of all instances in the movies, Spotify from Tales of the Jedi)
Droid Army Theme epic version arranged by Samuel Kim (YouTube, Spotify)
Grevious' Theme (YouTube, Spotify)
and probably whatever else fits that lollllll
And obviously there's other drum corps but we're not following them so it doesn't matter
Anyway! Hope you enjoyed listening through all of this and you see the vision I'm trying to project. If you want this all on a single Playlist on Spotify, click here
This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.
Wha. What do you mean someone commented on my clone wars fic What Died Didn’t Stay Dead and said they found it via a piece of fan art on Pinterest or something. WHAT PIECE OF ART. CAN I SEE IT. I HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I DON’T HAVE PINTEREST. CAN SOMEONE FIND IT FOR ME????
Okay so the good news is that the mystery has been solved (the commenter replied to my comment asking for the link) but it turns out someone just mentioned my fic in the comments of a piece of more general Clone Wars fan art (very heavily white-washed clone fan art), but it wasn’t for my fic specifically. Still wild that it got talked about randomly on Pinterest! Also unfortunate that I think the op artist’s name didn’t seem to be mentioned in the pin!

When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.
Kix sees Kylo Ren at some point in the future and he just keeps comparing him to all the Dark Siders that were around during the Clone Wars and calling him a loser
They hate me for my redundancies. And also for my tendency to say the same thing but in slightly different ways. And for my repetition of phrases. And for my redundancies.
Y’all don’t understand how often I think about this image. Look at the clone on the left. There’s nothing on his plate. He’s cutting at air. In the movie, the camera pans and you can see that there’s nothing on the plate of the clone in the middle, too. They’re all eating AIR
I imagine the conversation being like “do you think anyone will notice if there’s no food?” “No, I doubt anyone will look that closely, we’ll just make it so that the bowl blocks the plate.” And then they completely forgot about the clones next to the clone in the middle
