BAND, WIND ENSEMBLE PRESENT HOLST AND DEBUSSY


Eighty students in the HHS Concert Band presented Holst's "First Suite in E-flat" and Ticheli's "Shenandoah" at the annual performance in the auditorium on March 5. Curnow's "Three Colonial Ballads" and Smith's "The Great Locomotive Chase" were also featured.

The Wind Ensemble, an auditioned group of 25 student musicians, performed "Overture For Winds" by Charles Carter, "In Moonlight" by Claude Debussy, and the 3rd movement of Dello Joio's "Satiric Dances" for a comedy by Aristophanes. Above, students offer thank-you gifts to Band Director Norman Wolfe, in bow tie.
