A beautiful evening of musical voyages is planned for you by the Band majors under the direction of Michael Paulez. The Concert Band will lead off with a rendition of “Celtic Voyage,” a touching piece inspired by the ocean journey of irish immigrants. The music represents the sounds of the ocean and the hardships of the journey itself to their first joyful glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. This will be followed by Waltz No. 3 from the Suite for Jazz No. 2 and Cafe 512 which features the distinctive sound coming from the 512 area code of Austin, Texas. They will finish with “Homeward Bound,” an anthem often used by soldiers returning home, an elegant, simple, and touching piece.
The Wind Ensembles will start their program with two pieces by Grainger – “Australian Up-Country Tune” and “The Gum-suckers March.” Both pieces capture the spirit of early Australian folk tunes as Grainger seeks to emulate the spirit of his country as Stephen Foster did for America. A gum-sucker was a native of Victoria county where Grainger was born and refers to those who used the soothing taste of the edible eycalyptus to cool themselves in the summer.

The program this evening will feature the Middle School Orchestra in a lively set of pieces. The first by Rimsky Korsakov is called CAPRECCIO ESPAGNOL, an orchestral suite based on Spanish folk melodies. It will be followed by the popular PEER GYNT SUITE written by Edvard Grieg as incidental music to Henrik Ibsen’s play of the same name. The four movements represent Peer’s travels around the world. A change of pace brings us SWAMP THANG, a syncopated contemporary piece by Richard Meyer that conjures up images of the Deep South. The final piece is called PERSEUS by Soon Hee Newbold. It explores the adventure of the Hero Perseus as he enters the cave of Medusa who can turn men to stone with her glance to save the Princess Andromeda
The High School students work will highlight the VIOLIN CONCERTO IN C MAJOR by Joseph Haydn written in 1760 for a well know violinist of the time, but tonight will be performed by soloist Erik Peterson. Dmitri Shastakovich’s SINFONIA FOR STRING ORCHESTRA, Opus 110 was written in three days in 1960 after he reluctantly joined the Communist party of his Russian homeland. It was said he intended it as his epitaph because of his rocky relationship with the government. But he lived comfortably for another fifteen years.
An interesting variety of musical styles for your enjoyment.

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing
great-great-grandfather and has followed generations of Yalnatses ever since. Now Stanley has been
unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day, digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes.
It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize that Camp Green Lake isn’t what it seems. What could be buried under a dried-up lake? It’s up to Stanley to find the truth.
