I love Blue Shades! I played the bass drum (exciting, I know...) on that piece my freshman year.
Besides playing percussion in my college's Symphonic Band, I played in the pit for Man of La Mancha. That was a fun show!

Ooh, concert band music!
We're playing Armenian Dances in this semester's concert. I'm on the xylophone for most of it. The 5/8 part is weird and sadly, some of our players just don't feel it. The rest of the piece reminds me of circus music!
I love Eric Whitacre's Ghost Train. I can't imagine writing a piece like that, or performing it. He does some amazing things with the concert band.
And I would love to do Hanson's Chorale and Alleluia. I should mention that to our director....

Wow, that was great! I love these transitions between themes! It'd be cool to see this performed.

This is one of my favorite John Williams tracks. SS was the first soundtrack I ever owned, and it's what introduced me to John Williams. I was blown away by the orchestration in this piece, and I'm still blown away today. The harp and glockenspiel add a lot to the section around 2:55-3:00. I also love the rumbling low brass and how it sounds like they're rattling the snares in 3:44.
I too hope this is the music chosen at Islands of Adventure. You'll be able to walk from Jurassic Park to Hogsmeade and hear continuous Williams!

I love these kinds of threads! I've never noticed these "tone rows"
before.
