WOW you got some great memories b/c I can’t remember ANYTHING!! I remember some songs from marching band but nothing else!

Excellent! I think you are correct about Beowulf. After more searching, I also think that we played another McBeth piece called Feast of Trumpets. I’m not able to locate audio files of either piece. If anyone has a way to find them please send them to me.

We definitely played “Beowulf” - I remember distinctly being picked on by Mark McKinley for some reason while playing that one…I would also like to echo Mark’s sentiment concerning woodwinds - icckkk. Was “Phantom of the Opera” concert or marching??? I’ll keep thinking about it.

I do remember the attempt of 1812 (failed miserably). I just remembered that we may have played Fanfare For the Common Man. I don’t recall anything about Lord of the Rings. That could have been your senior year ‘91.

I think I remember now. Didn’t we play the Hobbits Hymn?

Didn’t we play something from the Lord of the Rings. Maybe the name had something to do with “Gandalf”?. Didn’t we also attempt the 1812 Overture once? That was a joke. I’ll forward this to Audrey she’ll remember some stuff. Also didn’t we play to Gustav Holst stuff. I know we played “Mars” in marching band but didn’t we play one of the other planets too. Maybe “Jupiter”? I can’t remember. I only remember not liking woodwinds.
