Welcome to Gaia! ::

Into the Storm is luff. D:
And Milking Song, from Hebrides Suite. It's so.. fun.

I have to say my favorite piece is Variations on a Shaker Melody. It has been turned into a marching band piece before for the Blue Devils which was awesome but I think it just sounds awesome with an entire symphonic band.

We played that, it was SO BEAUTIFUL!
Well my favorit five are:
Southern Harmony
Watchmen Tell of of the Night
Tudor Psalm
Hammersmith
October

My band is playing an awesome piece by Jan Van der Roost called Puszta, it's fairly evil in some places (especially if you're 1st flute gonk ) but it is incredible once you've got it going. my other fave is Havendance by Holsinger, as many people have mentioned.

There was this one last year we played that made me want to cry everytime we played it, I mean it was one of those that you could really feel.

Watchman Tell Us of the Night

It turns out that its through the eyes of an abused child. It was probably one of my favorite pieces. Also, you can't forget:

Chorale and Shaker Dance

Thats another of my favorites. I'm the piccolo of wind ensemble, so I got the fun piccolo part (you try sustaining that high A I believe it was), but then Bi-county came, and to me it was a little more relaxing because I was a flutist for once, not the piccoloist, the only piccoloist. So, I was second chair, and first chair got the pic. part, and I got the solo! Actually, that was my first time with a solo in some kind of band, one was because the school I used to go to didn't pick band pieces that had solos, and when I moved, I had to kind of prove myself, and I got piccolo.

Oh, almost forgot, this wasn't my favorite, but it had our whole band in stitches of laughter, Godzilla. Ok, it expected my piccolo to go to a C. It only goes down to a D. But it was funny because they had certain sections doing weird things, like the saxes had to bark like dogs xD.
