The Sheridan College Music Department is presenting a mid-semester band concert featuring the Community/College Jazz and Symphonic Bands under the direction of Dr. David Knutson on Sunday, March 16 at 7 p.m. in the Sue Henry Theater at Sheridan High School.
The jazz band will begin the evening with six selections including a Dave Barduhn arrangement (featuring the saxophones) of Jerome Richardson’s “Groove Merchant,” Dave Wolpe’s arrangement of “How High the Moon” by Morgan Lewis which features the trombone section, and Mark Taylor’s trumpet section feature “Brass Machine.” Gary Mcknight will also be a featured soloist on tenor saxophone as he performs a Mark Taylor arrangement of Jerome Kern’s “Yesterdays.”
After a brief intermission, the symphonic band will take the stage and perform four challenging works including W. Francis McBeth’s “Masque,” the three-movement “Incidental Suite” by Claude T. Smith, and a relatively new work by Brian Balmages aptly titled “When Spirits Soar.” The concert is free to the public.
FMI: Dr. Knutson at 307-674-6446, ext. 3009.
