Our school band has pretty much mastered this song, and we love to play it. It is a pretty nice piece, and we are sure that we will get Platinum in Festival, like my band did last year, when we were in 6th grade. We absolutely love it, and we are so happy that we are playing it! Stephanie Student MA Comments on: Summer Dances I thought it was a very exciting piece both to listen to and play. The imagery the music evokes ranges from energetic to calm, and to its full glory once more. Different from some pieces, this was a challenge for everyone in the band (even the low brass). I love having the piece on our repertoire and hope to get the chance to play it again. Chris Student TN Comments on: Images of Ireland This piece has quickly become one of my favorites. My kids like it because it is both energetic and expressive. I like it because the scoring is masterful – my band sounds very full compared to other pieces we are playing. This ought to find its way onto state lists very quickly if it hasn't already. Wonderful! Devin Middle School Director KS Comments on: The Darkness is Always Soft Wow, I really loved this piece. The percussion sounded excellent. The dynamics gave me chills, they were performed so good. What a difference the beginning is from the ending. The Whole arrangement is incredible. Sarah Student IL Comments on: The Q.C Shuffle This piece was an extremely fun one to play. Especially for me as a bari sax player. This chart always had some surprises. Lots of fun. Amber Student MN Comments on: Through Darkened Sleepy Hollow Wow, this Music is very well done. Yannick Student Comments on: Phantom Ship This piece is very dramatic and exciting! We are playing it for our UIL contest and I just can't wait. I play 1st clarinet part and sometimes play the flute and I just cannot get enough this piece! Brittney Student TX Comments on: Fantasía española This piece was composed very well. my orchestra is playing this piece and we are all sure that it will blow the audience away! Soon Hee Newbold really outdid herself this time... we've played so many of her pieces and by far this one is the catchiest! Student MD Comments on: Kings of Stone This is a gorgeous piece and a great concept, having the easy melody part and a more advanced part for all instruments. I have used this piece at all my elementary and middle schools this year with great success (and the kids love it!) It is excellent for promoting musical phrasing, teaching dynamics and bow speed control, and extremely moving when performed by more advanced students with vibrato. Thanks for a beautiful addition to the Grade 1 level. More pieces using this multi-level approach for all instruments, please! Marjorie Keefe Middle School Director PA Comments on: Nutville This piece has got an amazing melody. Brian Kidd does an amazing job of starting it off with the rhythm section, then going into a trio with the alto, tenor, and trumpet. We are playing this piece in our 8th grade jazz band, it makes us work every time we play it. Austin Student CA Comments on: Luck of the Irish This is a wonderful tune, I got the chance to be the first to perform this at Michigan Tech with the Michigan Tech Jazz Lab Band. Its a great band arrangement, Frank did a very wonderful job. I highly recommend this. Alan VA Comments on: New Dawn Marvelous piece of music. We played it last year for State Finals and it was definitely on of the key factors in receiving a I rating at state contest. I loved the different sections and the contrast between the sections. Also the ad-lib part in the percussion after the "bomb dropping" was a lot of fun to play. This piece has also been a great topic for essays about inspiring music. I absolutely loved this piece of music. Ryan Student OH Comments on: The Forbidden Caverns This is an outstanding piece of musical work. I am a 9th grader in my High School Concert Band and I heard this piece played on a CD and instantly loved it. I play the trumpet and the rhythms and different harmonies together make this piece so great. I like the different tempos and the movements. I recommend this piece to any high school or college concert band.
