Show Title: From the New World

Show Description:

The Symphony No. 9 in E minor, From the New World, popularly known as the New World Symphony, was composed by Antonín Dvorák in 1893 while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America. It is by far his most popular symphony, and one of the most popular in the romantic repertoire. Neil Armstrong took a recording of the New World Symphonyto the moon during the Apollo 11 mission — the first Moon landing — in 1969.

Our show presents the first, second, and fourth movements of the original symphony, re-imagined for marching band, with solos from Tyson Robinson on baritone and Chandler Brown on mellophone.

Drum majors Claire Andrus and Denin Koch and color guard captain Courtney Guffey present From the New World.

MUSIC SELECTIONS: Amazon, Rain Forest, Pirahna
SHOW TITLE: Amazon

SHOW DESCRIPTION: This show is meant to depict the many aspects of life in the Amazon Rain Forest. The opener depicts Amazon natives and the darker side of life in the Amazon Jungle. Through primal drumming and wind sounds throughout the band a dark foreboding theme is conveyed as if you are being chased through the jungle. In Rain Forest, the chase is off for now… You are surrounded by beauty and the wonders of the Rain Forest. You are held in awe by the animals that you can see and hear as you venture deeper into the Rain Forest. In Pirahna, imagine that you decide to go for a swim, but you soon discover that you are not alone in the water. There are pirahnas everywhere, and you barely make it out alive, only to find that you are once again being chased by the Amazon natives. Will you make it out…?

The 2013 “Scarlet Tide” presents:
RESILIENCE
In light of recent tragic human events, we have come to realize that naiveté and blissful innocence surround much of our life. Suddenly, we are confronted with difficult, tragic, and often horrible challenges that come to us often at no fault of our own. Through these life challenges we test the mettle of our human spirit, our commitment, our strength. We become better than before, more humble, more flexible, more human. By conquering these trials, we again see hope in the future.
We become RESILIENT.

With original music written by Jeffery Chambers,
Our show depicts three stages of life’s experience:
Naiveté
(A blissful, naïve attitude, a childlike, playful, and carefree existence)
Wrath
(A difficult challenge or tragic event that strikes)
Hope
(The sense of resolve and hope experienced after rising to conquer the challenge)

The “Scarlet Tide” would like to thank the Kamiakin Instrumental Music Boosters, Fans, and School Administration for their support! - Keeping the opportunity to express, create and communicate through Music is a strong component of our school experience.

Special Thanks to
Scarlet Level Sponsors: Tony and Kelli Henson Family

Ron Gerhardstein, Band Director

West Valley High School instrumental ensembles traditionally earn high ratings at adjudication and competitive festivals in and around the Pacific Northwest.   Last April, the WVHS Symphonic Concert Band travelled to the Con Brio Festival in Whistler, BC earning a gold rating. In May of 2013, the jazz program hosted Grammy artist Wycliffe Gordon as a guest trombone artist with our two jazz ensembles. Recent marching awards include 2nd place AAA-large division at the 2012 Cavalcade of Bands and Best Auxiliary. The members of the Ram Marching Band would like to thank our parent boosters, school staff and administration, and our community for their wonderful support of music education in the West Valley Schools.

Show Description
The marching band’s 2013 field show, It Never Ends!, is composed and arranged by Gary Gilroy. Movement titles are Without Limits, The Infinite, Perpetual Motion, and I Have a Dream.
Inspiration for the composition and visual design for come from the never ending pursuit of learning and personal growth as we age and mature through life’s adventures. Hard work, persistence, family, friends, and faith drive us to better ourselves and pursue life with a sense of purpose and passion. To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr., “You don’t have to see the whole staircase to take the first step.” We want to encourage all student musicians to be fearless and keep on stepping toward your dreams!

SHOW TITLE:
Labyrinth

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
From Greek mythology, the labyrinth was an elaborate, maze-like structure designed to hold a prisoner with little chance of escape. As the show begins, our curious main character finds herself trapped inside a living labyrinth that leads her through a path of fear, joy, loneliness, hope, and despair. At one point, she seems to have been swallowed by the evil entity. As her journey nears its end, she emerges victorious from the clutches of the labyrinth.

SHOW TITLE: “Courage and Fear” - The Tale of Two Brothers

Set on Jay Dawson’s music “Invincible”, the University High Marching Band and Fanfare Ensemble’s 2013 show details the interdependence of Courage and Fear. Opening with the Chinese symbol for Yin and Yang, the show explores the duality of Courage and Fear through the interaction of opposing yet interconnected geometric shapes and body work continuing musically though the interplay of opposing sections and themes. The show features introspective moments of failure, self-doubt and defeat in addition to highlights depicting the four main categories of Courage: Bravery (Physical, Moral, and Psychological), Perseverance, Honesty and Zest.

This year, the Golden Apple Marching Band sparks excitement, fear and rebirth in Wildfire. As firefighters work the lines and dig trenches to proactively combat the devastation that fire can cause, flames blaze their path of destruction, obliterating all in their way. A vast, barren space is all that remains. Yet in good time, both nature and humans prevail and a beautiful rebirth allows the beauty of the wilderness to bloom in bountiful glory. The Golden Apple Marching Band dedicates this season to the valiant firefighters who dedicate themselves to protecting others and sometimes bravely pay the ultimate price.
