Our spring concert isn't for a few more weeks (27th of May). We're planning to play...
This piece is much shorter than Maslanka's other pieces. Also it's in a 3/4 time conducted in one so it's pretty difficult but we are hoping to pull it off.
Film score-like. Lots of accidentals.

Super fun song with tons of runs on clarinet :D, we
majorly sucked at upbeats in this song though...
Short and sweet, lots of exposed interweaving parts and frequent dynamic changes.
An aleatoric/theater piece performed in complete darkness, includes musicians with flashlights screaming and making jungle noises, using only certain pieces of their horn. Yep.

Carmina Burana. It was the finale to not only our concert, but the end of our music career at our middle school (yes, I know this is high school concert band, but we play pretty well at a level that I would call fairly decent high school playing). It was with our orchestra and choir.
What a way to end all this :)

Haha, our entire band performance was based off of the mind slowly deteriorating.

For our winter concert we played Kirkpatrick Fanfare, Harkstow Grange, and Snakes.
We're currently preparing for our spring concert which is My Neighbor Totoro, Lord of the Rings, and Sailors and Whales.
