Is everyone playing Trittico? My band[Donna] is playing that, Rolling Thunder and i'm not sure but last i heard Lux Arumque, but that was a while back.

We sight read Trittico a while back and it was bitchin'. I figure that it was because the whole Cadets doing Symphonic Movement sorta put the Nehybel idea in our director's head- which, by the way, I have absolutely no objection to.

Well i think we have our third piece. im not sure yet if it is the third piece but according to a woodwind player, they sightread southern harmony during their sectional. So if that is true then our the songs we are playing for UIL are:

 

Marche Militaire Francaise by Camille Saint-Saens

Overture to Colas Breugnon by Dmitri Kabalevsky

Southern Harmony by Donald Grantham (i think he is the composer not sure though if he is the composer. Also this is one of the rental pieces in the UIL list according to rbcmusic.com).

We are playing...

 

Eagle Squadron March- Filmore (not too fond of it)

Balkanya- Van der Roost (meh...at least it's better than the march)

Paris Sketches- Ellerby (approx. 15 minutes of sweetness that makes up for the other two)

 

If it weren't for Paris Sketches, I would hate our program entirely. The march isn't too bad, but certainly not one of my favorite, after having played Op. 99 last year and the Circus Bee the year before that. Balkanya just doesn't do much for me, but the parts are somewhat fun to play. Just wish us well on Paris Sketches because it is VERY mentally draining. :wacko:

Well so far this year, i have never heard of any of this piece. so i tried to find a recording of Colas Breugnon Overture, it sounds really cool if played at a fast tempo. The the marche is pretty cool after playing it for our winter concert, just somewhat slower than i thought. I dont know anything about southern harmony at all. anyone out there have any information???

Midway March is a neat little march to play. I'm kinda tired of October, but oh well.

 

But to get to the point of my post, if your orchestra were playing the fourth movement, I would make the drive out to your high school to listen to it. Mvt 4 is freaking BA.

I played Midway March in Middle school.

I love the clarinet parts. :)

 

I actually have a recording of me playing the clarinet soli in the beginning.

Westwood's second band is playing:

 

His Honor - Fillmore (fun march, nice and fast, the way I like it)

Early Light - Bremer (it's a happy sort of song, good euph part so I like it)

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night - Camphouse (11 or so minutes of awesome, slow, but sounds amazing)

 

 

 

What the first band is playing escapes me :blink:

 

EDIT: I lied, we're not playing any Vaughan Williams =X

Blue Shades has been added to our list. We still don't know the name of our March yet. It's undecided.

AHH, not fair, Blue Shades is such a cool piece. I want to play it :(

It sounds really funn! I can't wait till we run through it. Uggh, I'm jealous of our first chair clarinet who gets that wicked solo.

Yea, our band director played a recording of it earlier this year and said we might do it for our last concert, then changed his mind the day after. Needless to say, I was crushed, I've been in love with that piece ever since 1999 Santa Clara Vanguard.

Well, I guess you can go to our concert so you can hear your sister school play it. It shall be glorious. Whenever we decide to play the piece in a concert...probably in May, I'm guessing.
