Last 36 Hours

The last 36 hours have been interesting.

I was not going to Myrtle Beach, then going, then definitely not going. So I ended up at the Koger Center for the USC Symphonic Band concert. The USC Band Clinic and Conductors Symposium is this weekend. Copenhaver's group played...

Summon the Heroes, John Williams - a piece for the 1996 Olympics that has that famous trumpet part we all know. Very good.

Symphony no. 3, Vittorio Giannini - a 4 movement piece that was quite nice.

Concertino op. 107, Cecile Chaminade - a piece that featured the new flute profession, Donna Shin, it was a glorious perform ace and I was dazzled as she played what appeared to be an enchanted beam of sunlight.

Baron Cimetiere's Mambo, Donald Grantham - featured a lot of neat percussion

Redline Tango, John Mackey - fun piece

Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna, Franz von Suppe - a good closure

The concert was delightful in general. Nice to hear a good group play. Shortly I am off to see the USC Concert Band and the Palmetto Concert band. Also expected to be a good show.

This morning I was up early, talked to Mom, and packed a few things before heading to Animal Mission to check out cats, visiting the zoo, sitting on the rocks at the river, and checking out cats at Pets Inc.

So long for now!
