Pre-Midwest Concert @Murchison/UNT-Sunday, Dec 11

[smusic]

Anybody going to the Pre-Midwest concerts at the Murchison on Sunday? Both the Middle schools and Duncanville are performing. Downing Middle School from FlowerMoundB performs at 2:30, the middle school from Birdville performs at 4:30 and Duncanville HS performs at 7:00. I heard Dville is playing the Verdi Requiem and Blue Lake and that is reason enough for me to go. See ya'll there.

I will definitely be going for Duncanville and will try to go for all of it.

 

Here are the program listings:

It has School for Scandal and Lux Arumquelisted as grade 3's, but those are crazy hard pieces! That is quite a program they are playing. I am sure they are going to be quite awesome as always. I can't wait! The Federal is a ****!

[DaoDeJn]

Heck yes! That's funny because the last time i went to a concert at the Murchison i was thinking about how kick-a School for Scandal would sound in the Winspear. No joke. Wow. Awesomeness.

If I can, I'm gonna go catch Langham Creeks pre-midwest concert this Sunday. Not too sure of the details, it's at cy-something I believe. I know they're playing Don Juan, but I don't know what else.

I went to the Midwest Clinic 2 years ago. and this year we went to the western international band clinic

 

midwest was definitely the best band trip ever. I enjoyed it more than nationals. because it was a smaller group so we had a lot more freedom.

 

And i lovvveed the music we played.

All I have to say is WOW!!! I am jealous and Duncanville is truly amazing. The Verdi was way cool. They have the most awesome clarinets. The first chair guy sounded awesome on School for Scandal and I found out he is only a sophomore. All these groups sounded very good and will represent Texas very well. Best of luck to these groups!!!

You don't know freedom till you've been on an all-state trip. It's basically, they drop us off at the hotels and say "Ok, we'll see you in three days."

amen skippy.
