This is what is on the concert, next week: (Williams-dominant) :smilie6:


- Williams: Midway March (4.5)

- Williams: Theme from Schindler’s List (4:00)

- Bernstein: Candide Suite (12:00)...no. not the overture

- Sousa: People Who Live in Glass Houses (11:00) a set of four humorous drinking-related pieces from the El Capitan operetta

                -Intermission-

- Gershwin: Second Prelude (4.5) a piano prelude, originally in C-sharp minor, transposed to C

- de Meij: Hobbits (9.5)

- Williams: The Jedi Steps and Finale (9.5) (Star Wars jazz)



It's nearly an hour's worth o' tuba playin' ...but (being "band") a good bit of "mezzo" and "piano", so...

Jealous and wish I could come up and listen. Midway is my favorite March by a long shot.

And the rest looks to be quite enjoyable.

Have fun, Bloke!

Williams changed up the bass line in Midway when it started becoming monotonous, so it actually has to be read.
