Immediately following tonight’s concert, please join us in the cafeteria for an afterglow and chamber ensemble performances SYMPHONIC BAND CONCERT ETIQUITTE FLUTE BASSOON FRENCH HORN A performer's intense concentration can be interrupted by little things that may seem Keelie Cottick Chandler Foote*# Jamie Bartkowicz trivial to audience members. The following suggestions will help audience members Erin Healy Courtney Sykes Courtney Batchelder show respect to the performers on stage as well as other members of the audience. Elizabeth June Elizabeth Buckner* This will help the performers to do their best. Sierra Kemp ALTO SAXOPHONE Katie DeWolf Kaitlin LaFeve Ken Beierlein*# Jennifer Donnellon* When To Applaud - Performers always appreciate applause, but there are appropriate Molly Monte* Kayleigh Butler Rachel Kuss moments to applaud. In a multi-movement work, applaud after all movements are Laura Pokorski Joshua Makar Andrew Miller completed. This allows the continuity of the piece to flow from one movement to the Shelby Reed* Zack Murray Rebecca Strobel next. “Hooting and hollering” is not appropriate in the concert setting. Lauren Schmidt Kelsey Parsons* Bryan Piepenbrok TROMBONE Arrival Time - Leave early and allow enough time for parking and traffic. If you do CLARINET Michael Quinn Marci Bratkowski arrive late, wait by the doors until the first piece (not just a movement) is finished, then Katie Bartholomew Tyler White Lauren Ellis discreetly take the nearest seat available. Alexis Collica* Brandon Jewell Cory Juresich Ashleigh Dahl Madison McClintock# Entering and Exiting the Auditorium - Never enter or exit the auditorium during a Sarah DeRita TENOR SAXOPHONE Jenna McQuiston* performance. If you must enter or exit, please wait until the performance on stage has Kari Harvey*. Zach Chuckran Brandon O’Bryan* been completed. The most appropriate times to move about are during audience Sarah Hensley Troy Foster* Alex Price applause or set changes. Cassie Hinderliter Steven Hromek Steven Salmen Krystal Hoxey Jennifer Kensicki* Talking - Talking should not be tolerated. It is not only distracting to the performer, but Julia Kinter EUPHONIUM to every person in the audience. It is just plain rude to talk (even whispering can be Taylor Miller BARITONE SAXOPHONE Josh Beck heard) during a musical performance. If someone around you is talking, ask them Samantha Parisi Adam Coppa* Kari Caretti nicely to please stop. Rebecca Piotruchowski Dayna Diebold* Sarah Bradley-Kosanke*# Alyssa Ranilovich Harold Reintjes Ariel Gostovich Other Noises - Avoid rustling your program, tapping your foot, bouncing your legs, etc. Rebecca Saelens Holly Miller*# Pagers and cell phones should be turned off. Watches set to beep on the hour should Courtneay Smith TRUMPET also be turned off. These high-pitched beeps are distracting to the performers and Rachel Vredevoogd Jacob Beach TUBA audience members. Adrienne Woodall Greg Cluney* Chris Buckner Melissa Esser Keiffer Heino Coughing - It is hard to avoid a spontaneous cough. Be prepared with some type of BASS CLARINET Zack Grashik# James Rowe* cough drops or candies. Avoid cellophane wrappers. Many come with a soft wax- Cassy Bridges* Megan Hill Randy Schehr paper wrapping that will be much less noisy. Alyssa Gaglio Jennifer Kowalski Angelo Gutierriez Brittany Martin PERCUSSION Taking Pictures - Refrain from taking any photographs during a performance. The Brittany Smith* Shawn Moore* James Barber* click of a camera and especially the flash are very distracting. Pictures should be Lauren Vardon Ben Parenteau Daniel Bowron taken after the performance. Eric Root Scott Demers OBOE Derek Dunsmore Children - Children need exposure to good music and live performances. If your Alexa Bidigare* Duane Gaedcke young child begins to get restless in the middle of a performance, it may be best that Anthony Petix Michael Ingrao you exit the auditorium until calmer times prevail. Evan LaPensee* Justin Martin Evan O’Hearn By following basic edicts of respect and consideration, performers and the audience Josh Ross will have a more pleasurable and meaningful experience as they perform and attend Justin Smith* live concerts. Because they have worked so hard for their performance, the students on stage deserve to be treated with respect. * Denotes Section Leader aOakland Youth Orchestra ◄ Michigan Youth Band/Orchestra # East Shore Honors Band ~ MSBOA All-State Band x MSBOA District XVI Honors Band ^ Detroit Symphony Youth Ensembles hMichigan State University Honors Band + Central Michigan University High School Honors Band PROGRAM NOTES WHAT IS MUSIC?

As the title implies, the metallic sonorities of the wind band are tensities, volume changes, melody, and harmony all at once and continually explored and developed throughout the work, while the “tempest” is a symmetric hexachord that is exposed and developed through a variety of juxtaposed with the most exact control of time. gestures and themes.
