[0:05] This is going to be the jazz band to [0:07] lead us off. We can we rehearse about [0:10] twice a week uh during the school day. [0:12] And this first tune is going to be [0:14] called Fatburg. [0:36] Don't [0:50] heat up. [1:06] Heat. Heat. [1:35] Heat. Heat. [1:46] Heat [1:55] up here. [2:05] Heat. [2:24] Heat. [2:42] Heat. Heat. [2:51] Heat [3:08] up here. [3:16] Heat [3:31] up [3:38] here. [3:42] Heat. [4:01] Heat. [4:07] Heat. [4:24] Heat. [4:50] All right. Uh, our second and final tune [4:54] is is called Jam with Charlie by Dean [4:55] Sorenson. And a big thing that we try [4:58] and do here at Valley Metal is to [5:01] introduce improvisation or making up [5:04] solos um as as young as we can. So we're [5:08] going to hear from quite a few soloists [5:09] today. Uh, starting out with Molly Con [5:12] on the tener sacks, Abby Sundrage on the [5:15] Euphonium and Mary Herson on the [5:16] trumpet, Janelle Wolf on the trombone, [5:18] Asher Selnis on the trumpet, DJ Stone on [5:20] the trombone, and Hudson Aers on the [5:22] trumpet, Sam Cherman on the trombone, [5:24] Joshua Rasmson on the trumpet, Isaac Jay [5:26] on the trombone, and finally Matthew [5:28] Hemler back on the mallets. And uh, feel [5:32] free to clap as their solo ends. They [5:34] are going to be kind of short and sweet. [5:35] Um, so maybe keep your applause so you [5:37] hear the next person, but uh, should be [5:39] great. All right, here's the truck. [5:52] 1 2 3 1 2 3 [6:27] Heat. Heat. [6:54] Heat. Heat. [7:22] Heat. Heat. [7:26] Heat. Heat. [7:39] Heat. [7:58] Heat. [8:03] Heat. Heat. [8:26] Heat. Heat. [8:46] Heat. [8:58] Heat. [9:07] Heat [9:21] up here. [9:58] The seventh and eighth grade percussion [10:00] ensemble is um combined between [10:04] seventh and eighth. Um, [10:07] so we've got some we got about half half [10:09] and half. Some of those eighth graders [10:11] play instruments other than percussion. [10:13] When when the students are in eighth [10:15] grade, if they would like to learn [10:16] percussion ensemble, even if they might [10:17] play trumpet or or something else, uh, [10:20] we we allow for that. It's a fun thing [10:21] to do. And this first song, this first [10:24] tune is going to be TomTom Foolery. [10:27] Everyone is on a drum of of some kind, [10:30] so it's probably going to be pretty [10:31] loud. I [10:35] >> think I'll just introduce the second [10:36] piece now so you don't have to come back [10:38] and forth. The second piece is going to [10:39] be Mission Impossible and uh it's going [10:42] to be pretty awesome. [10:53] How many? [11:18] Heat. [11:22] Heat. [11:58] Heat. Heat. [12:12] Heat up here. [12:37] Heat. [12:40] Heat. [12:48] Heat. [13:00] Heat. [13:09] Heat. Heat. [13:24] Heat. [13:28] Heat. [13:38] Heat up [13:59] here. [14:03] Heat. [14:23] Heat. [14:28] Heat. [14:40] Heat. [15:16] So, I just want to switch to you really [15:18] quick. Uh, that piece is really hard for [15:20] um for a lot of people. So, uh, we're [15:24] really proud of them for all the work [15:25] that they put in for that cuz it was [15:26] very difficult. So, give that a round of [15:28] applause. [16:33] Daddy. [16:58] This one. [17:21] Heat. Heat. [17:29] Heat. [17:45] Heat. [17:52] Heat. Heat. [18:27] Heat. Heat. [18:36] Heat. Heat. [19:21] Hello, my name is [19:26] My name is Can I play? [19:29] >> And my name is Taran and I play crunch [19:30] horn. Welcome to Woodwind Ensemble [19:33] portion of the concert. In Woodwind [19:35] Ensemble, we have been working we have [19:37] been exploring music that is [19:38] specifically written for flutes, elbows, [19:40] clarinets, and punch horn. This music is [19:42] unique to how it lets different [19:43] instruments play different roles than [19:45] they might in a normal band. [19:48] There are lots of there are lots of [19:50] different styles of ensemble music, but [19:53] we're going to show you two of the main [19:54] ones. Our first piece of music is from [19:56] the classical style, which means it is [19:58] based on an older piece of music. This [20:02] piece of music gave us the opportunity [20:04] to practice using more dramatic dynamics [20:07] and extend our ranges higher than we [20:09] play before. [20:11] Spring break from Four Seasons is an [20:13] arrangement of Antonio Valdi's first [20:15] movement from a symphony he wrote for [20:17] training. This version is arranged for [20:20] wood instead. You'll hear a melody [20:22] you'll probably recognize even if you [20:24] didn't know the name of it. We hope you [20:26] enjoy strength before we leave the [20:28] melody or [20:47] Heat. Heat. [21:28] Heat. Heat. [21:33] Heat. [21:38] Heat. [21:50] Heat. [21:57] Heat. [22:07] Heat. Heat. [22:28] Heat. Heat. [22:48] Heat. Heat. [23:07] Hello, my name is [23:11] My name is and I play French. [23:14] My name is Harper. I play the flute. Our [23:17] second final piece of music is from the [23:19] second most common style of woodland [23:21] ensemble music which is more [23:23] contemporary or modern sounding. This [23:25] next song has more individual parts [23:27] happening at bas in the music complex. [23:31] The journey of invention was written by [23:33] David to be played by any combination of [23:35] woodwinds and the music is about [23:38] Jeremy's inventions have gone on to [23:40] discover things like the wheel [23:42] electricity or the cell. The journey can [23:44] be exciting and challenging just like [23:46] this music show. [23:48] We learned a lot about playing more [23:49] complicated rhythms, having confidence [23:51] with more exposed individual parts, and [23:53] keeping up a fast tempo as a group while [23:56] working on this piece. Thank you so much [23:58] for listening to our portion of the [23:59] concert, and we hope you join enjoy the [24:02] journey as I mentioned by David Mar. [24:14] Heat. Heat. [24:49] Heat. Heat.

Welcome again to the seventh [27:38] grade band concert. We are so excited to [27:40] share everything we've been working on [27:41] so far this season. [27:44] Composer Richard Chambers is highly [27:47] influenced by dramatic films worth of [27:49] creating this adventurous open piece. [27:51] Night aims to portray anthological time [27:54] period full of adventure and excitement. [27:56] to dragons, castles, and other legendary [27:58] creations. [28:02] Imagine a remote castle under the moon. [28:04] A fire breathing dragon fattens the [28:06] kingdom. Knights ride out in defense and [28:08] clash with the mythical beast. How will [28:10] it end? Come find out with us and enjoy [28:12] the epic journey of night fear. [28:45] Heat. [29:11] Heat. [29:13] A [29:36] Heat. [29:53] Heat. [29:59] Heat. [30:13] Heat.

[32:10] >> Well, we have an apology to all three of [32:12] you or really Mr. Cruz. DC. It seems [32:15] like it just snowed just about every [32:17] last every day the last couple of weeks, [32:19] especially morning rush hour, and it [32:21] very well my feelings of what would be [32:24] nice. [32:26] Our next piece is wrong to restored by [32:29] ML Rogers. Mr. Seabird didn't realize [32:31] that this would actually bring on more [32:33] stormy weather than close to performing [32:35] it. But now you all know who to blame. [32:38] Stormy or not, we hope you're staying [32:40] warm during this frosty December. We [32:42] understand if you pull your jacket a [32:44] little tighter for oncoming storm. [33:02] Heat. Heat. [33:50] Heat. Heat. [33:56] Heat. [34:15] Heat. [34:20] Heat. [34:33] Heat.

[36:10] My name is Argie and I play the tool [36:12] back. [36:13] >> Our next piece is titled Colliding [36:15] Visions by Brian Bing. You can hear from [36:18] the title Colliding Visions that it's [36:20] all about slow and fast, loud and soft, [36:23] small and large, round and pointed. [36:27] In order to move between these [36:29] opposites, listen for the carefully [36:31] crafted transition between sections of [36:33] the piece. As the parents of the D can [36:36] understand it, it was rather unfortunate [36:38] or fortunate depending on your point of [36:40] view that the final transition of the [36:42] piece occurs occurs at measure 67. [37:36] Heat. Heat. [38:13] Heat. Heat. [38:22] Heat. Heat. [38:42] Heat. Heat. [39:24] Heat. Heat. [39:29] Heat. [39:43] Heat. [39:51] Heat. [40:04] Heat. [40:12] Heat. [40:24] Heat. [40:33] Heat.

A [47:52] surge is defined as a strong wavelike [47:55] forward rush or sweep. [47:59] >> You will hear several of these waves of [48:01] sound in this piece. Some buildings, [48:03] some fading. The composer may have [48:06] burned the lead with the title of the [48:08] rock and roll baseline pattern that the [48:10] low brass and low woods began the piece [48:13] with really sets the tone for this one. [48:17] Thank you for coming to my concert I am [48:19] being a wonderful audience to share our [48:22] great way to break in holiday season and [48:24] have a safe drive on the way to getting [48:25] ice cream after the concert.
