We're doing The Planets and Carmina Burana this season in Springfield

[Highams]

A little after the event, but just finished premiering the new arrangent for Euphonium & winds, of the John Rutter Suite Antique, originally for flute & strings with harp.

The masterful adaptation is by John Holland, and the UK premiere was at the Dorchester Abbey Music Festival, Oxforshire, the European one in Ostende/Belgium with the BBC Winds.

At the end of August I will perform the Edward Gregson Symphonic Rhapsody, only recently being made available with piano accomp. by Brian Bowen, long overdue!

[Mark]

We're doing The Planets and Carmina Burana this season in Springfield

Gb!

[Mark]

This is actually still the 2010-2011 season, but I have one more performance of the Baadsvik arrangement of Gabriel's Oboe for our summer POPS concerts. Sorry, it's sold out.

[Wyvern]

I am quite excited about having concert with Vaughan Williams 4, James MacMillan Britannia (big tuba solo) and Strauss Death and Transfiguration in concert this coming Saturday!

[Tuba Guy]

Shostakovich 8, Meistersingers, and La Mer stand out as the big ones that I remember. Although I'm going to try to take the bass bone seat in the spring to let the severely more talented, younger player have a chance in our orchestra.

[Todd S. Malicoate]

My season's over. I got to perform the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2. Exciting times. The orchestra actually fell apart in the third movement a bit before the final cadenza. Had a great seat to enjoy the fireworks.

[Biggs]

I am excited about performing 3 sets of 20 reps on the butterfly press.

I am a 25-year-old powerlifter.

[jeopardymaster]

Two orchestras and a grand total of 4 concerts with tuba, all before the New Year. Both groups are cutting back and I'm one of the guys that gets to sit most of the season out. The only sexy item programmed is the Verdi Requiem. It's on my wife's birthday, and I would have begged off, but no way can I do that under the circumstances.
