-Prelude, Siciliano, & Rondo (Arnold)
-Pomp & Circumstance (arr. Reed)

This isn't very good.

In fact it stinks.

What composers are the directors looking for that they'd like to include in their band repertoire?

The SU Wind Ensemble's program from last night's concert was:

First Suite in Eb--Holst
Come Memory...---Grantham (written in response to attacks of 9/11/01, premiered in 5 or 6 places in the country--SU was the school chosen for the Northeast)
Trumpet Concerto--Neruda (soloist Ron Modell)
Nessum Dorma from Turandot--Puccini, arr. J.M. Laverty (soloist Ron Modell)
Suite of Old American Dances---Bennet

I can't remember if we played another one too, but I don't remember what it was if we did! Wow, one night ago and I can't even remember that!

I miss band. =( My college doesn't offer a fall concert band program (that I'm aware of), and the spring band is, for all intents and purposes, totally composed of music majors. I only get to play by myself, or drive an hour and a half to a job with my community band. Even those have only been marching jobs, though...
=(

Should be getting winter season music in the mail soon enough, though, so perhaps I will be able to contribute later.

A college that offers majors in music and doesn't have a 1st semester band???? Unbelieveable!! It would be too expenseve to justify maintaining an inventory of expensive wind and percussion instruments, not to mention a music library, music stands, chairs, and perhaps a band room for just a second semester incidental offering. You should check your colleges class schedule more closely under performance classes, or some such similar description. What about orchestra or voice performance venues?? And music majors only???--Even a college the size of the University of Wisconsin could not run a band program admitting only music majors. I'll bet there is something for you for 1st semester if you look more closely. Check with the school of music directly. Again, I would be amazed at a college (even a two year affilated center)that did not offer full year performance opportunities. Good luck.

Impressive band music y'all, our Tulsa Band in working on 3 pieces of Khach's Gayne, my favorite is the beautiful Lullaby. We played the Wagner Meistersinger and Mussorgsky's Bald Mtn and others at last concert, and are getting acquainted with "unusual" marches to "assist" Tulsa's 15K runners soon. Fun, Don

Eugene,

>what part of Canada are you in I"m in Calgary

You never specified who that was directed at, if it was directed at me, I live in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario.

We're performing
*Fervent is my Longing (Prelude)-Bach
*March "BSO Forever" from Divertimento for Band-Bernstein
*Lincolnshire Posy-Grainger
*"Cinderella" from Postcovers by James Territo, which we commissioned & played in its entirety last spring (we're playing at convention in a week and a half)
*Blue Shades-Ticheli

I feel like I'm missing something, but I don't remember. I don't know the order, either. I'm not sure what we're playing for our December concert.
