How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse by Gary P. Gilroy & Aaron Hines

Our culture has certainly seen a surge in monster enthusiasm, but groaning and dragging a decayed foot into first place is undoubtedly the zombie. Popular not because of the monster itself, but the theoretical situation it places humans. With a tongue firmly placed in cheek, Gary's menacingly-playful soundtrack is simply genius. Weather you want to pit guard against band, or use extras for a dramatic twist on typical marching band, this simple tale of survival will be a blast for your staff, students and audience.

This is giving me terrible flashbacks to band camp.

[@GPGMusic]

+Penguinlover555 Band camp flashbacks are the best kind!

[@smooshfanultra]

What about Vietnam flashbacks?

[@drew3918]

Esteban Wants to Die Too far dude

[@owengerber5795]

I marched this my Sophomore Year, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

[@biobiobiobiobiobiobiobio]

Battery percussion is pretty sick in this piece. I played it as a freshman, and as a senior, I still like to go back and play it. (Along with Timepiece).

[@loganschiermeyer6098]

We are playing at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans in December and I am so excited!!!!

[@GPGMusic]

Wow, that's really cool! What an honor!

[@dominabox]

My highschool band played this last year with an add-on of thriller at the end where the band attacked the guard. Me being one of two guard guys, screaming at a high pitch wasn't all that easy.

[@GPGMusic]

Wow, that sounds really fun and exciting! What a great addition!

[@dominabox]

Gary P. Gilroy Publications :O You responded

[@peaches6453]

MY BAND WAS DEBATING ON THIS OR BASEBALL! ;-; we got baseball, tho its fun with the bats/swing flags/and wooden poled flags, id rather this definitely

[@MANROCK130]

Union Grove High School my senior year we performed this show. Absolute goosebumps every time I hear this

[@lanemaddogdowling2014]

I'm a senior this coming up school year I played this show my freshman year and I loves it it's the best show I ever played and always will be the judges loves it

[@GPGMusic]

The first show is always a memorable one! Have a great senior year!

[@robertoramirezgranados5616]

My first High School GPG show, followed by Rise of the Samurai Warrior and then by Spartacus. Now that I have graduated I can't wait to hear this years show Pyramids of Egypt, GPG music has inspired me to become a composer to go along with me teaching in the future, will definitely hope to use some GPG shows for any band I may be lucky to teach!

[@Nexol13]

We played this as our show my Junior Year of high school back in 2013; we had to rename the show Contagion, though, because the band director thought the original title was a tad long. xD

[@GPGMusic]

Sounds fair-it can be a bit of a mouthful to announce!

[@chilixi]

Awww I think the original title is very catchy. I'm glad my son's band director kept it as is. The announcers and audiences reaction to just the title alone was great to see! At the end of the piece one of the zombie dressed cologuards grabs a sword runs and stabs one of the drum majors and takes over conducting! The crowds reaction to that was priceless each time because no one was expecting that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJjMg2V4abtmY80

[@bugleboyize76]

This always my senior year show a couple years back

[@materiathief]

[@loganschiermeyer6098]

I go to Millard south and we listened to Lincoln high play this in Clarinda, IA last night and it must have been hard to chose who would be the winner. We got first place!!! We played A Brave New World and it sounds amazing!!!

[@GPGMusic]

Congratulations!

[@alexandriacantu111]

Ahh I really love this show music. I’ve been listening to all of the GPG shows and I’m glad I came across this one! I am just in love with the second mvt. The pit percussion, with the woodwinds and trumpet solo is everything😍 I think the music as a whole really depicts the zombie vibe well. It’s hard to explain and I applaud Gary P Gilroy and Aaron Hines for being able to give the idea of a Zombie Apocalypse a sound. I think it sounds beautiful... mystical. A little sad even. I really really like it.

[@celestialbomb0998]

This was my first time in a matching show and I was in the Pitt. For the choreography the zombies in pit were able to climb on top of barrels during the performance and play cymbals. It felt really cool and I loved how everything sounded

[@chilixi]

My son's highschool marching band performed this, this past fall in 2022. Was awesome! The cologuard and pit dressed as zombies. This is the link to their performance at WSMA State Marching Championship👇🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJjMg2V4abtmY80

[@GPGMusic]

That's really great to hear how well your band did!
