The Fall Season for 2023 is here! We meet at the Meadowcreek High School band room on Monday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00 when Gwinnett County Schools are in session. We look forward to our new season with the addition of some new musicians.
If you want to join a community group, please attend a rehearsal and try us out. We have openings in the following sections: Alto Sax, Percussion (Mallets, Accessories, Set), Bassoon, Tuba, Clarinet & Flute.
This Fall, we will have several new songs to learn. Here is a list of some of our selections:
- Girl I Left Behind Me
This song is an English folk song from the Elizabethan era. Legend has this song played when soldiers leave for war or set sail on a naval vessel. The melody is from a traditional Irish melody known as An Spailpin Fánach, meaning “The Wandering Labourer”. Arranged by Leroy Anderson, this will be an audience favorite. - Waltz #2
This piece was originally scored for symphony orchestra Shostakovich’s “Jazz Suite No. 2”. The addition of saxophones, accordions, and guitar is noteworthy. - Nathan Hale Trilogy
This work is inspired by three significant points in the life of this American hero. - Star Wars Heroes
For decades, the music of this saga has entertained us with melodic lines that draw us back to the well-known story. - The Hounds of Spring
Composed in 1908 by Alfred Reed, this concert overture captures the youthful exuberance and the tenderness of love. - Danny Boy
Warren Barker arranges this popular tune into a gorgeous concert ballad. The Textures and lush harmonies are blended into a stunning program piece. - Africa
The infectious groove of this chart-topping hit from the band Toto is timeless and will surely please audiences of all ages. The percussion section is featured in this song.
