Marche Slave is outstanding. I'd love to hear you guys play it. When and where are those performances?

Is your Armenian Dances the piece by Alfred Reed (inferior) or the two movement piece by Aram Khachaturian (superior)?

we'll be performing marche slave one last time at the Western Band Association Concert Festival Next Saturda, March 29th, in Long Beach. I don't know exactly where, but I know it's at a really great concert hall, and it might be on WBA's website but i'm not sure.
As for Armenian Dances, it's the "inferior" one. We haven't really started playing it yet, but we will next week. It's not one of my favorites, but it's ok. :)

Chant and Jubilo f'n rocks! For the rest of the 1st semester, Sierra Vista's Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band are going to play Variations on a Shaker Melody (I have a duet with an oboe, and I get to play the Eb minor part!) and Washington Post. This is for someone's Senior Project, and he chose these 2 pieces. I don't know what other pieces we will be doing, WE and SB together and separate.
