Theme from Police Academy (extended version) by Robert Folk
As someone who grew up in the 80’s, and as a film soundtrack aficionado, there are certain themes that come swiftly to mind. Themes from Star Wars, or the first few Star Trek films, or Superman. Iconic themes.
While the name Robert Folk may not be as recognizable to the average person as John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, he is responsible for a piece of music every bit as iconic and recognizable. The Police Academy March.
Themes from the likes of Williams and Goldsmith often get presented in nice, lengthy arrangements, either as “concert suites“ prepared for the soundtrack albums, or as the score written for play over the end credits. With the recent CD release of Folk’s score for Police Academy, I was looking forward to such an arrangement of his iconic march.
Alas, while for the most part I quite enjoyed the album, in this respect I was disappointed. The average track length was only 92 seconds. The track specifically titled “Police Academy March“ was a paltry 66 seconds.
There were, however, excellent snippets of the march spread throughout the score. And so, using my rudimentary editing skills and a lovely program called Audacity, I decided to see if I could assemble a lengthier arrangement of the march for my enjoyment, using elements from five separate tracks as they appeared on the album.
I hope you enjoy it as well. If you do, please consider purchasing the official album, as released by La-La Land Records, and available at these places:
