Here's Newman Smith -

Here's two of our contest songs we played this year, the ballad I guess wasn't important enough to Jess to upload . Count Bubba's Revenge - Gordon Goodwin: Body and Soul(Not Uploaded) Got a Match? - Chick Corea arr. Mike Bogle:

Are you guys playing all movements of Symphony No. 3? Just wondering lol Newman Smith is playing: Rolling Thunder Molly on the Shore Slavyanskaya It's a pretty fun program, especially because I get to play the death trombone part on Rolling Thunder

So is anybody here going to the TCU festival this saturday?

We usually go to the UTA festival but we aren't this year because our director started our own festival. We were the guest band last year at UTA lol

Yeah I can't wait for TCU. Hope our luck is as good as it was last year.

Well, I think our director wants to feature our trombone section because 4/5 of us went to area and 2 made state. The other two(including myself) were only 1 and 2 away from making state. So, I think ultimately he wants to feature our section and Rolling Thunder seems like the likely choice for that.

Right now we've been reading: "March" from Symphonic Metamorphosis Molly on the Shore Slavyanskaya (Symphony No. 3) But the past two days we started to read Rolling Thunder(I have fun with this on trombone lol) so we may replace the March with this for contest.

Our UIL Show

I have no idea what our band will be playing this year. The only thing he's mentioned that he wants to read with us is Slavanskaya(*sp*). We read it in years past and it's pretty fun. Last year we played: Easter Monday on the White House Lawn by Sousa Forgot the 2nd piece La Fiesta Mexicana by Reed

Anybody here going to Abilene Christian Univ. January 5th for Area? That's where mine is.

I didn't make this one but I found it pretty interesting! http://www.micromarching.com/show.php?showID=131

Haha yeah they are. We just finished phase II yesterday and I got 2nd, our prodigy child freshman trombone player got 3rd, and his brother(junior) got 5th so we're all going to area in January. Our bass trombone player got 2nd and is going to area as well. For some reason this year the music just wasn't as difficult as it has been in the past for trombone.

This is Newman Smith HS Band 2007 - "Espana" (Music of "Toro" by Key Poulan) This was our last football game of the season with only one day of rehearsal each week for about 3 weeks, so it's not UIL ready but not bad.
