Many years ago a calendar was discovered in Mexico that revealed the ancient Meso-American interpretation of historical and future events. That calendar is believed by many to either end or begin a new cycle on December 21, 2012. The Ferndale Marching Band will present to you their interpretation of events as they lead up to this mysterious and uncertain date.

SHOW TITLE: Triad  A Celebration of the Mystery of the Number 3

3 is the first odd prime number and the second smallest prime. It is both the first Fermat prime and the Mersenne prime, the only number that is both, as well as the first lucky prime. A triangle is the only figure which, if all endpoints have hinges, will never change its shape unless the sides themselves are bent. 3 of the 5 regular polyhedral have triangular faces. Humans perceive white light as the mixture of three additive primary hues: red, green, and blue. Genetic information is encoded in DNA and RNA using a triplet codon system. Atoms consist of three constituents: photons, neutrons, and electrons. We perceive our universe to have three dimensions. Many world religions contain triple deities or concepts of trinity, including; the Christian Holy Trinity, the Hindu Trimurti, the 3 Jewels of Buddhism and the Three Pure Ones of Taoism. There are three main Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judasim. In music, the Roman numeral III is the median. The are three notes in a triad, the basic form of any chord. And of course , the Earth is the third planet in its Solar System!!!

You have no doubt heard the sayings: "Time is of the essence." "Time flies." "Time is money." We are a society obsessed with time, yet we are unable to slow it, stop it, or make it rewind. Our fascination with time has led to the development of varying methods of keeping track of its passage. We have gone from monumental clocks on watchtowers to small watches on our wrists. We have created clocks to wake us in the morning, program our microwave ovens and record television programs while we are away. Chronometry is a musical journey about three of the most visual methods of time keeping.

Show Title - Chronometry
Movements  Grandfather Clock, Hourglass, Stopwatch

This year the Golden Apple Marching Band presents ¡Olé!, which follows the tempestuous, perilous and thrilling corrida de toros in España. In the first stage, the tercio de varas, the matador meets his opponent, and learns of its demeanor and instinctive methods of escape. In the second stage, the tercio de banderillas, the matador reverently acknowledges the sacrifice and honor bestowed upon the bull. And lastly, the tercio de muerte is the culmination of the display of tradition and grandeur full of flair and fanfare. As egregious as the intentional harm caused to animals in the corrida may be, we recognize the cultural significance thereof. Join us as we celebrate the sights and sounds of España...¡Olé!
