One For All and All For Fall - Featuring the Works of Percy Aldridge Grainger
50 years after Grainger's death, the USU Wind Orchestra performed a concert of his works on Friday, November 4 at 7:30pm, under the direction of Dr. Thomas P. Rohrer.
The USU Wind Orchestra has approximately 45 members and is made up of the finest wind and percussion students in the school.
The program on Friday's concert was as follows:
Mock Morris
Ye Banks and Braes O'Bonnie Doon (Our very own Keri on flugelhorn, making the piece!)
Country Gardens
Lincolnshire Posy (Some amazing piccolo-ing from our very own Megan)
Scotch Strathspey and Reel (Reel as in UN-"reel"istic euphonium runs at the end)
The concert was FANTASTIC. Audience members were invited to sit on stage with the musicians in order to give them an idea of the interaction that happens between the performers (you just don't get that from regular audience seating).
And OF COURSE, thanks to Tau Beta Sigma girls, there was a reception set up in the band hall for after the concert. Cookies and "colored water" (Root beer and Apple Juice).
A BIG thanks to Tori for ordering the cookies and making sure other materials were purchased. Also, thanks to all the TBS girls not in Wind Orchestra who set up during the concert and to everyone who helped clean up afterwards. :)
Sisters who played at the concert (great job to ALL):
Elena, Megan, Sarrong, Sarah, Tori, Keri, Sherrie Lynn, Kellie, Betsy, Janet, Emily "giggles", and pageant-winner Emily S.(who played Piano for the concert AMAZINGLY. Thanks to her, the band didn't go flat when singing).
Hopefully I didn't forget anyone. If I did, someone will edit this post and it'll appear as if I never did. :)
