Hi, folks!
The photo above is from our latest rehearsal just this last Saturday. Things are coming together and I can't wait until November 11! (My fiance can't wait, either...she says I'm not spending enough time with her! It is definitely an enormous amount of work and stress to put together an event like this, but I hope you'll agree it's worth it after hearing the band this Sunday!)
We've settled on the program...though we may pull a couple of surprises for you, yet!
Here's what you'll hear on Sunday:
"Royal Fireworks" by Handel (classical transcription)
"Candide" by Bernstein (classical transcription)
"The Shepherd's Song," (traditional melody) arr. by G. Richards
"My Strength, My Tower" by Dean Goffin (a brass band original!)
"Toccata in D Minor" by J.S. Bach (classical transcription)
A Sousa march for our veterans (don't know which one, just yet)
"Londonderry Air" (a flugelhorn solo)
Fugue from "Falstaff" by Richard Wagner (classical transcription)
"Peace Like a River" (trombone feature) by Stephen Bulla
"Symphony of Thanksgiving" by Dean Goffin (a brass band original)
You may not be as excited as I am looking at this list on paper...but when you hear these 30 brass & percussion musicians actually play these pieces...well...that's where the fun is at!
See you Sunday!
