Following the success of our 2009 Band Festival, pharm
Snowy Mountains Christian School in Cooma is offering an exciting, challenging day on October 23rd 2010. The format will be different this year, in summary, all participants will be organized into two Concert Bands, each band will do two rehearsals before lunch. After lunch, the two bands become one combined band, which will have one rehearsal before our afternoon concert. A third option will be offered for stage band players.
All participants will be asked to wear all black or black & white for the days activities. Following is the list of charts I have chosen for the Festival:
Chart 1 Jazz it up – level 3 ½ Belwin Band from Alfred Arranger: Victor Lopez.
Chart 2 Gateway to the Alps – Ralph Hultgren      Brolga Music, Red Hill, Queensland.
Chart 3 Theme From Family Guy – Level 3.0 Hal Leonard. Arranger: Paul Murtha
Chart 4 Highlights from Oliver – Level 3.0 Hal Leonard Arranger: Ted Ricketts
Chart 5 Suite from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Level 3.5 by John Williams arranged by Ralph Ford, Belwin Band from Alfred.
Chart 6 Disney on Parade Level 2.5 Hal Leonard Arranger: Johnnie Vinson
The Stage Band option will be conducted by myself, Phil Horneman, and it will be included on the concert program.
The Conductors for the day will be:-
- Mr Steve Williams
- Mr Rodney Clancy
They will share the conducting load, leaving all visiting band directors free to mentor, sit in, help out etc where needed.
Knowledge of 4 out of 6 charts would be very helpful to the success of the day. If band directors need practice copies of the charts, please contact me. It may be helpful to purchase one or two for your own use at other events, either way, it will be helpful if players know 4 out of 6 of the charts before attending the festival. Band A will do Charts 1 and 3, Band B will do Charts 2 and 4.
