MidwestGiant Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Minnesota Brass, Inc. is proud to announce their 2009 program entitled, "Nocturne - Songs for the Night." This dark and rich program will explore various moods of the night. Earle Hagen's "Harlem Nocturne" provides the thematic backdrop for the production. Additional selections will include an edgy and mysterious take on Stan Kenton’s “Commencement" as well as his "Aspect." A lush rendition of “My Immortal” from Evanescence will serve as the ballad while the intense energy of Dizzy Gillespie's, "A Night in Tunisia" is sure to bring drum corps fans to their feet. The music and expressive visual program will transport our audiences through the scariness, the sadness and the playfulness of the night. "I'm thrilled at the direction this show is taking," said Joel Matuzak, MBI Program Coordinator. "This music and concept allows us to continue to innovate in the all-age drum corps activity while presenting a vehicle that will be accesible to audiences around the country. After our remarkable 2008 season, we can't wait for 2009 to begin." In 2008, Minnesota Brass achieved their highest placement ever, securing second place at the Drum Corps Associates Championship. The creative staff from 2008 returns with Joel Matuzak and Matt Ferry as Percussion Arrangers, Matt Kettlehut and Andy Classen as Brass Arrangers, and Gary Swanson as Colorguard Designer. Joel Matuzak will again serve Program Coordiantor. Minnesota Brass is also pleased to announce Ben Harloff and Andrew Angle as additions to our creative team. Minnesota Brass begins its 63rd season at 1:30 on Saturday, January 3rd at Highland Park Senior High School in Saint Paul. All potential members are encouraged to attend!
