Choice Piece??!!!
Young Band The Light Of Dawn
James Swearingen
Published: 1998 Grade: 2½ Performance Time: 4:27
Bright and energetic, The Light of Dawn is a unique and enjoyable James Swearingen composition written for junior high or middle school bands. The allegro section features easy mixed meters and the lyrical section displays Swearingen’s ability to write sensitive melodic music that “connects” with young musicians. A perfect choice for concert or contest.
Band on saturday : first holiday practice
Early one morning Mr Yea greeted us with warm-ups and suggested this song to be our choice piece. Upon getting the scores, we found out that, the song is easier and is a piece to sight-read instead. AND for young bands.
Do you guys really want to play this song? If some Bandsmen from other bands actually ask what choice piece you are playing, do you have the face to tell them " Oh, I am playing The Light of Dawn!" and would receive a sightly disheartened "Oh." as an answer instead of "Wow, you are playing Blue Ridge?? Its a really nice song!! I look forward to hearing you play! XD"
I am not saying that its not a nice song, its just that you guys should know you can do better than this. It is not easy to get that silver with a grade 2 piece but it is possible if you wake up and start practicing now. You guys should know by now what would happen if we never meet up to the conductors' expectations.
Okay, if this is really gonna be our choice piece, then we only can depend on the set piece to get that silver. Are you guys gonna wait until 12 november, and upon getting the piece, complain how difficult it is?
Its time for everyone to change their thoughts about band being a slacking CCA. Band is fun because you guys can slack and laugh and talk?? dream on man.
* edit: um dont get me wrong, I found The Light Of Dawn quite a nice piece but its kinda pathetic that we cant even sight-read a grade 2 piece well. We ought to do better than this. and we will prove to everyone especially to the conductors. ;)
PRACTICE RAWR!!!
