Subj: Re: [kl] Tualatin Valley Community Band Concert
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 19:44:41 -0400

I was just in Tigard this past summer. I grew up in Portland. I didn't
know they had a group like this. The music looks good - the Texidor is
one of my favorite marches - as long as it is played at a very fast pace.
The West Side Story must by the Selections, arr. by Duthoit.....also good.
I would like more information on the Reineke piece if you wouldn't mind?

Sincerely,
Roger Garrett
