LOL WUT? Posts: 2,385 Group: Members Member #8 Joined: June 28, 2006 Gender: Male Name: Trevor Location: Edmonton, AB Last.fm: BloodAndBelief	So, who here is a band geek? What instrument do you play? Who are your favorite composers for concert band? Songs? I'm a mega band geek I play Tenor Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, and Bass Clarinet. I've also played Clarinet in band before, but haven't in 2 years. My favorite composers are Steven Reineke, and James Swearingen...but Victor Lopez has written some pretty good stuff. Invicta (James Swearingen), Pacifica (Robert Buckley), Seasons of Love (Jonathan Larsson/Jay Bocook), The Witch And The Saint (Steven Reineke), and Love, Hope, Peace And Happiness (Victor Lopez) are my favorites

We did a song called "Rollo Takes a Walk" by him two years ago and everyone loved or hated it. I loved it, mostly because I got to be part of a kazoo soli/duet with piccolo. There's another guy that's pretty good, we did almost strictly his songs last year. EDIT: Gustav Holst is who I was thinking of.

They're two separate classes that are both full year. And I have marching band practice today for three hours <_< .

I've been thinking of joining the community Jazz band..the only thing that throws me off is that I'd be the youngest in the band.

I've had a wood clarinet for about 5 of them. My favorite composers are Steven Reineke and Frank Ticheli. My favorite pieces are Fate of the Gods (Reineke), Vesuvius (Ticheli), and Fantasy on a Japanese Folk Song (Samuel R. Hazo). In terms of bands unrelated to school, I'm in 3, but I'm the sole member in all of 'em.

I also played bass clarinet for a brief stint last semester until I had enough of the immature people in concert band and got into wind ensemble where I rightfully belong.
