[16:48] Overure [applause] [17:01] and f a song written by a composer named [17:04] Annie McGibney connects individuals and [17:06] communities to the values of musical [17:08] education and cultural exposure. This [17:10] song is specifically designed for [17:12] American education culture which [17:14] emphasizes learning development and [17:15] participation. Overure and F is a song [17:18] written to show the values of practice [17:20] and practices of musical education and [17:22] Western American heritage to newer [17:24] generations.

Fireball connects to [20:36] history and culture primarily by way of [20:37] its place in the tradition of school [20:39] band music. It reflects how modern band [20:41] pieces have shifted through time to [20:43] emphasize rhythmic drive, dramatic [20:45] flare, and modern harmonic language that [20:47] today's students relate to, marking an [20:49] evolution in educ educational comp [20:51] composition. [20:53] This piece also adds to the musical [20:54] heritage of school programs. Since many [20:56] young musicians perceive it as one of [20:58] those big or significant pieces they [21:00] remember playing because it's often [21:02] performed at concerts and festivals, it [21:04] helps bring the school and community [21:06] together. In that way, Fireball becomes [21:09] part of the shared memories and culture [21:11] of the people who play and hear it. With [21:13] its commanding percussion and soaring [21:15] melodies, Fireball has a highly [21:16] energetic soul we hope to capture at our [21:18] concert.

[24:18] He's also a very accomplished composer [24:20] and arranger in many different pieces [24:22] for orchestra. While the song Junkyard [24:24] Jam has no clear meaning, I think it's [24:25] about making even trash something new [24:27] and exciting in ways that people might [24:29] not always think of.
