The Cascade Winds Symphonic Band will present the second concert of their 2008-2009 season, under the baton of new music director Dan Judd, March 8, 2:00 p.m. at Summit High School auditorium. This concert is free of charge, open to the public and suitable for all ages.
This second concert of the Winds season includes a variety of band standards, solo features, orchestra transcriptions and marches that demonstrate the excitement and richness of great wind band literature. The program kicks off with Joseph Willcox Jenkins “American Overture for Band”. The overture’s famous soaring French horn call signals the beginning of a terrific concert experience. “Nobles of the Mystic Shrine” was composed by John Philip Sousa to honor his fellow Shriners (he once conducted a Shriner Band of 6,200 performers in this march!) A trio of Cascade Wind trumpeters will present Leroy Anderson’s very famous “Bugler’s Holiday”. Jerry Bilik’s “American Civil War Fantasy” will lead the listener through the music depictions of that time in our country’s history when brother rose up against brother. As we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, remember his immortal words “the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.”
Flute soloist Stefanie Janin will perform Chaminade’s very beautiful “Concertino”. This lovely romantic work is recognized as one of the great standards for flute literature. “Awayday” by Adam Gorb is a rambunctious frolic as you ‘do the town and see a show.’ Tubist Aaron Moore will perform “Tuba Tiger Rag” with the help of the singers and players in the band. A wonderful transcription of music from Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic opera “Pineapple Poll” will close out the concert.
After an extensive tenure as a music teacher in Washington State, including election into the Washington Music Educator’s ‘Hall of Fame’, Dan Judd is currently Director of Bands at Summit High School in Bend. A co-founder of the Northwest Wind Symphony, an award-winning community band in Western Washington, Judd has served as a clinician and adjudicator throughout the Northwest.
These concerts are free, open to the public and suitable for all ages. No tickets are required. For more information visit www.cascadewinds.org or call 593-1635. Summit High School is located at 2855 NW Clearwater Drive, Bend.
