3rd Quarter Scales – Symphonic Band

The RHS Symphonic Band’s next performance is at the Music In Our Schools Month Band Concert on Thursday, March 11 7:00 p.m.  This concert takes place in Rutland Middle School’s Keefe Gymnasium and features the Fourth Grade Band, Fifth Grade Band, Sixth Grade Band, Middle School Band and the RHS Symphonic Band.  Admission is free.

All students should report to Keefe Gymnasium no later than 6:45 p.m. so we may do a brief warm-up before the concert begins.  Dress is the usual black bottoms and white tops.

The Symphonic Band will be performing “Synergies” by Robert Sheldon and will also give the world premiere performance of “Four Vermont Prints,” written specifically for the band by Dr. Gene Milford.  Dr. Milford will also be on hand to conduct his composition.

The RHS Symphonic Band has commissioned composer Dr. Gene Milford to write a brand new piece of music for the 2009-2010 school year.  The piece, entitled “Four Vermont Prints,” will be arriving soon and the RHS Band will perform the world premiere at the March 11 Music In Our Schools Month  Band Concert.

Dr. Milford, senior lecturer in music education at The University of Akron, will be in Rutland in March to work with the band, as well as conduct the first performance.

Stay tuned for more details.
