True Believers,
I canโt wait for Spring
Concert this year! Iโve been itching to do a movie themed concert ever since I
became the conductor of the community band. The last movie themed concert
performed by the band was in 2016 with Jennifer Levanduski conducting. That
concert featured such classics as โOfficer Krupkeโ from โWest Side Storyโ, the
theme from โThe Godfatherโ and music from โTombstoneโ. Just like Hollywood, I
wanted to do that concert again, but bigger! This concert features only music
that has been found in movie sequels, hence the title of our concert, โA Night
at the Movies: The Sequel!โ
All of the music selections
feature music from movies that have sequels. Movies like โJurassic Parkโ,
โSupermanโ, โStar Warsโ and โBack to the Futureโ have many sequels and feature
their main themes in all of them. Some of the more obscure movie sequels in our
concert include โBlue Danube Waltzโ from โ2001: A Space Odysseyโ and โWizard of
Ozโ. Some might remember their respective sequels, โ2010: The Year We Make
Contactโ and โReturn to Ozโ. โReturn to Ozโ might be one of my favorite sequels
to a beloved classic because of itโs very dark tone and memorable scary
moments. Some of our selections will feature themes that are only found in
their sequels, such as โYodaโs Themeโ from โStar Wars: The Empire Strikes Backโ
and music from โLord of the Rings: The Two Towersโ.
To celebrate our 30 year birthday we have invited our founding conductor, Don Cushman, to conduct a special piece.
This concert is going to be
a blast! All of the musicians have been working real hard to bring the power of
cinema to your ears. I canโt wait to see you at The Center Theater on Cinco De
Mayo!
OH MY! Free Halloween Concert for the Kids. October 27, – 3:00pm Teton Village, WY at Walk Festival Hall
This is my favorite time of the year. The leaves have changed colors. The wind is howling. All manner of superstitious creatures are making their way out of the shadows. Halloween season is here!
To celebrate, the Community Band is performing itโs annual Halloween Concert for the Kids at Walk Festival Hall. Children, adults, and musicians will be dressing up as their favorite characters and listening to the haunting sounds of winds and percussion. Weโll be playing such classic Halloween tunes such as Danse Macabre, Bachโs Toccata and Fugue and music from the movies Dark Shadows and Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Special Appearance by Dancers Workshop Student Performers
This year will also feature a collaboration with Dancers Workshop. Our performance of Saint-Saensโ Carnival of the Animals will have Lions, Elephants, and Swans dancing alongside the band. I would like to thank school director, Eric Midgley, for organizing and rehearsing the dancers for this event.
It wouldnโt be a Halloween concert without our Addams Family sing-a-long. Audience members will be singing the classic tune at the end of the show with a guest singer to lead them. Weโll also invite costumed kids to march their way along the stage to the militant sounds of Gustav Holstโs Mars from his most famous work The Planets. After the show, children will have the opportunity to seek local Teton Village businesses for some trick-or-treat candy.
This yearโs Halloween concert is shaping up to be the most challenging and fun that I have ever conducted. I canโt wait to see the ghouls and goblins make their way to the show and have a haunting time!
