brassomaniac Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Playlist for this concert is pretty much settled. A couple of the new ones, programmed for Rochester, will depend on whether they are ready, come the dress rehearsal on 7/15. Our intention is to present a corps-style ensemble that fits seamlessly in with other community music organizations. And this great Community Band Festival is wonderful venue for this purpose. Last year's CB! group was well received, and instantly invited back. And for 2009, I believe that we'll deliver a more polished and musical group. Our program will include the drum corps competition material that we've used this Spring, as well those which we'll be performing in Rochester: Hallelujah Chorus The Brass-O-Maniacs Cartoon Capers Bohemian Rhapsody Black Mamba Sing, Sang, Sung Sway America, the Beautiful Plus: My Funny Valentine Batman A Nightengale Sang on Barkley Square Family Guy Peter Gunn Everybody's Everything and 3 new Quintet pieces, which we just read thru last night: Stardust Georgia, on My Mind Seize the Day (from "Newsies") It's a little more than we need for this concert. We'll see what's ready to go, at the dress rehearsal. Edited July 16, 2009 by brassomaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
