At Cy-Creek, in the top band we are doing A Movement for Rosa, Southern Harmony, and some march I'm not sure of. For Christmas, we're preparing Russian Christmas Music by Alfred Reed(the same guy that wrote Armenian Dances)

[clarinetchicka]

The symphonic band at cedar park is playing:

Armenian Dances (it looks hard but sounds amazing, lots of clarinet runs! )

Salvation Is Created

Thunder and Blazes

and an Irish tune by Granger based on Danny Boy

 

it should be really cool

wow, Irish Tune and Salvation in the same concert lineup...

 

It would be fun to play:

 

Pines of Rome

El Camino Real

...

Rhapsody in Blue

[bored2damax]

We seguin are working on fundamentals right now. Well the low brass are, the woodwinds are sightreading and i dont know what the high brass is doing. Also we have a chamber concert instead of a band concert. We are going to have groups playing like the Wind Ensemble Brass, Wind Symphony Brass, and Symphonic Brass. All that stuff. Then after that we are going to have a Winter Concert in February, i dont know what song we are playing and then we finally get to pick our UIL pieces for this year.

[MartinHorn]

Yeah it's gonna be all Christmas music for us this time but I'm interested in what we're gonna play.

Just to clarify... salvation is our winter concert piece. for contest we're playing the other three.

 

On another note.... IM JEALOUS OF EVERYONE PLAYING MOLLY ON THE SHORE!!!

I love that song.

[Shiloh Phoenix]

I have no idea what richland is playing, just that it's christmas concert music. last year we played a movement for rosa as one of our christmas pieces. I love the angry tuba ostinato part in the middle. and of course the beautiful french horn solo from we shall overcome at the end. that is a beautiful piece, but I'm afraid I'd get a bit tired of it if I had to do it all year.

Russian Christmas Music....call our band crazy, but we attempted to put that out in a concert with a week to prepare it. It wasn't that bad of a performance, but there were still some minor issues that another week would have helped out...but yeah, I loved that song.

 

We are currently in the middle of band placements, so we still have no idea about what we are playing.

[Serardian]

I LOVE El Camino Real.

[Trumpeter07]

So, i just found out today that the Cedar Park Wind Ensemble is deffinitly going to play:

 

Trittico

Molly on the Shore

and Stars and Stripes Forever

[pianomusicman89]

langham creek...i love pines of rome!! just wanting to hear u guys play that is enough motivation for me wanting to make all-state...jk jk, no but really! (well, not it's an added motivation to making all-state)

i've never heard el camino real...recording anyone?

 

for our winter concert we're playin...

 

southern harmony

olympic fanfare and theme

sleigh ride

Irish Tune from county derry. (i think i read someone else was playing this too...I'm not much of a fan or this song)

[itsstephenyo]

I might be able to scrounge up an All-Region band recording of El Camino Real. I know that one of the 5A State bands played it last year, though. It's a heck of a lot of fun.

You're playing Southern Harmony for your WINTER concert?! We played that my freshman year in Wind Ensemble for UIL. The first movement woodwind runs are crazy... but it's a great song.

[dmcolby]

The Dink hasnt given the Wind Ensamble anything to keep yet...but he hinted at Wagner???

[ClarinetGlissandoInBlue]

we took another read on Molly and Tempered Steel today, but....

 

burke was really angry at the bass clarinet and bari sax, they couldnt play some simple rhythm in Molly and then the bari guy messes up the solo-type part in Tempered steel..

 

idk but for a while, i loved molly on the shore, and then i hated it, but now i kinda like it again...clarinet song i guess - can't part with it

[Serardian]

I love Tempered Steel. I know some marching bands have done it but I've never heard it on the field.

[saul091]

hmmmm....concert season...so fo christmas, we're playing candide suite(auto fa de) or something like that. its "what a day" pretty cool. um...salvation is created, holiday for trumpets, and i think one other one.....pretty cool...

[teh_branday]

...i'm so jealous. i wish my director would even think to play stuff like that...the only time we really have so far was with Heroes lost and fallen...it was at least ...good. but that was last year..

 

we're still working with Playoff stuff since thats in less than two days, we'll see after the first game. we've been working with district music and christmas music for awhile now though. The only thing i can remember that we're playing so far now is Sleigh Ride...which is just fun to play. i wish i could remember the other two though they aren't worthy.

not to brag or anything, but i pwned on tempered steel two years ago lol

maybe we could negotiate a trade of sorts.....

 

today we read and listened to "A Movement for Rosa [Parks]" it was pretty cool, my first impression was that it would make a perfect marching show.

 

it kinda annoyed a lot of us that the last chord doesnt resolve

 

now, we have for our feature piece between:

 

festive overture

molly

tempered steel

rosa

 

we've also been working chistmas stuff - the usual:

 

sleigh ride

christmas festival

and something that was backordered..lol

[bored2damax]

Men last year we played molly on the shore. IT was alright. The year before last year, we played October and Blue Shades. I love Blue Shades and October since then.

[TRtrumpet]

For Christmas we have Russian Christmas Music, Pachabeles Christmas (I Love this one), and Varaiatians On An Old English Carrol.
