Rhapsody in Blue-I recommend you find 19 minutes and listen to this with your music if you have time. North Texas State Band directed by Jerry junkin. Pianist Anton Nel. This is superb!
March From 1941
1941 by Stephen Spielberg is a farce and Spielberg’s only attempt at comedy. The Plot: After the attack on Pearl Harbor Califrnians are on edge expecting another attack. The film didn’t resonate with audiences but the score is typical of John Williams…outstanding! This march has a few tricky rhythms but is very accessible for us.
Mambo from West Side Story. We’ve rehearsed this before but never performed it. It will fit nicely in this program.
