Hello Milwee Band!
Congratulations to the students in both Symphonic and Concert Bands on their incredible performances this past weekend at our MPA. Both bands were awarded the highest ratings at the festival: Straight Superior ratings from all four judges! Milwee band students were highly focused and very musical on stage; they were also encouraging and supportive of the other bands they listened to this weekend. Those kids made our school look GOOD!
The recordings from this weekend were released and I've uploaded them to YouTube. Feel free to share and distribute to all - music is to be shared! Check out what our kids can do!
I’ve included a brief description of what to expect out of each selection, so proud of these kids!
Concert Band
Andalucia by Victor Lopez (Spanish Style March, called a "Pasodoble" meaning 2-step)
Chorale and Canon by Anne McGinty (Canon means "call and response", you hear it in the second half)
Monticello Memoirs by Gary Fagan (based on American traditional hymn)
Symphonic Band
Newcastle March by Johnnie Vinson (British Style Sea-Shanty Mach)
Suite from Bohemia by Vaclav Nelhybel (4 traditional Czech Songs in various stylistic settings)
Yankee Fanfare by Travis J. Weller (It's Yankee Doodle with flair)
