Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Hello, my name is Sophia Richard and I our first piece this evening evening is Nightwolf composed by James Sur and Jim. As the sun begins to set, the night time comes to life with spectacular displays that can that work. Barely noticed by a human eye is the invasive netcohawk who soarses above the wooded treetops. In that warning, he dives through the ground and knock while directing his attack toward unsus unsuspecting train. In just a matter of seconds, the hawk is there and we hope you Help. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Hello, my name is Fury and I'm my name is Ji and I our next thesis evening is I the arranged by Gerald Sebast. I have the treasure by Survivor became a massive hit after being commissioned by Sylvester Stallone as theme song for Rocky 3 in 1982. Strone originally wanted Queen's Another One Bites the Dutch to be the theme song. However, Queen denied Stone. Stone then left a voice message for Survivor to call him back because he thought their song Poor Man's son might work for a movie. At first, the band wasn't going to call Stallone back because they didn't believe that it was Stallone. Eventually, they returned the call and came up with the famous guitar mode to prevent the actions of Boxing. >> The tongue The song was originally titled Survival, but they changed the name of the song because of Apollo's line in the movie telling Rocky to find the eye of the tiger within himself. The songs driving inspired and sound written was perfect for Rocky's training sessions powered it to be number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, making it the number two song of 1982. We hope you enjoyed Daryl Sebasty's arrangement, I the Tiger. It's pretty impressive, too. You can watch Joie and Oliver and Clayton. They're pretty good at rotating through this drum set thing. So, it's pretty good. >> They make it look smooth. Sometimes it's not that smooth. Heat up here. Heat up here. Heat up here. Heat up here. Hello, my name is Hannah Ericson and I play the clarinet. >> And my name is Mrs. Sam Burton and I play. Our next piece is called Stormchasing by William Owens. This music is meant to depict the adventure of chasing a storm, specifically a tornado. The hobby of stormchasing was popularized in the 1950s and has continued to be an exciting activity for thrillsekers and weather forecasters. Just like a storm starts calm before really taking off, this music will start. Listen for a really unique instrument called the rain. This instrument is used in many cultures around the world to make the sound of gentle falling rain. After the gentle rain, the storm gets stronger and more intense. This piece is full of things we learned this year, such as new articulations, midsummer repeats, and the busy house. We hope you brought your umbrellas as you enjoy stormchasing. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. So, we got we got to the last song of the concert.

So big thank you to our custodial staff that's here at Valley and you can uh thank them by after the concert's over by just folding up your chair and setting them against the wall and they'll take it from there.

So a huge thank you to And then another huge thank you to our students behind me. Um they've really really come a long way. Uh if you would have heard them, well I'm sure some of you maybe did hear them at home in September.

By the way, parents, they do have a job to do tonight before they go. Um they need to take the stands back. So every student needs to put their stand back in their spot in the band room and then they can come back and help with percussion and all the percussion help get the percussion back and then once that's done uh they can go. The chairs actually are going to just get stacked on a rack so they don't have to worry about the chairs. But just so just a heads up there parents.

Um, it's just another way for kids playing over the summer. Um the summer pops band is actually with the upper classman this year. So they actually combine with them. And then we always have um about I don't know 18 or so students 20 students that come over from Apple Valley High School and they actually play along and work uh in that within that too. Um and so it's a great uh time to play. We usually just play all kinds of pop music. So um it's really fun. It's it's just a time to get their instrument out and play. And uh so we do encourage them to do that. And then just a huge reminder when you look at that, everything's at Epo Valley High School this year, this summer. So, uh, Valley is going to be closed for construction. They're going to have to water off and everything. So, um, Apple Valley is going to be the place for summer band.
