Holiday Band Concert

We enjoyed a very festive Holiday Band Concert at Westview High School.  The Jazz Band, Concert Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble played.  To make transitions not so boring, each section of the Wind Ensemble played carols from different locations of the autitorium while they reset the stage.  It made for a very nice concert.  Here are recordings we made of the groups Melissa and Rachel played in: 

Wind Ensemble, Melissa on Tuba
Sleigh Ride

Wind Ensemble, Melissa on Tuba
Auld Lang Syne
Traditional Scottish Melody
Arranged by Chip Davis as recorded by Mannheim Steamroller

The Low Brass (Invisible) Trio

They also played Carol of the Bells but we weren't ready to record that one- bummer it sounded really good!
