Bass Drum Journal March 2014 of the Harvard University B and Vol THE BASS DRUM JOURNAL March 2014 of THE HARVARD UNIVERSITY B AND Vol. 94 No. 1 TO THE AGE THAT IS WAITING BEFORE ’ve always wondered how much of my love of the Band is tied to my family. IWhich is a little funny when you consider just how far away I travelled for school to avoid my family (although just in case my mom and dad are reading this: I’m only kidding guys! Love you both!). At this point in my life, still not yet even three- quarters of the way through my college career, it’s already incredibly difficult to imagine back to my freshman year to a time before I felt like I was a part of Band, which I suppose just reinforces my point. I can try and hazard some guesses, though. The Band Room is the closest thing to my living room that I have experienced on campus. Everything about it harkens back to my upbringing, from the comfy couches where I relax or do homework, to the abundance of pictures across the walls, to the memorabilia strewn about the room, to a TV for group movie nights HAVING A JOLLY GOOD TIME! THE BAND FROLICKS IN FRONT OF and video games, and more importantly, MEMORIAL CHURCH BEFORE THE GAME AGAINST DARTMOUTH. to an ever-present group of people who I love to be around and who make me feel known as reunions for generations of people to with them over the course of the year. at home.

The Reunion of my family, part of that may have been about the 95th anniversary of the Band, and with it, will be just one highlight from what looks biological obligation on their part (still our 95th reunion.

The Men’s Basketball team made headlines with their first ever NCAA Tour- nament win in a massive upset of the New Mexico Lobos, and the football team finished their season off strong with a rout of TyAle and a serendipitous share of the Ivy title. All the while, the Band marched, or should I say, walked at roughly the same pace, steadfastly forward. We continued to support Harvard both on and off the field, as the Band has done throughout its storied 95-year his- tory. How did we do this?

Electric Horizons: Advancing the Wind Band in Modern Art Music A research project by Joseph R. Bozich Introduction The dominance of the Symphony Orchestra in Western Art Music is a fact clear by even the most superficial observation. The best classical performers of today and yesterday have been judged in part by which orchestras they have performed solo with, which large orchestral concertis they have tackled, and which conductors they have collaborated with. For better or worse, "classical" and "orchestral" music are essentially synonymous for a great portion of the population, and the great majority of classical masterworks known to the larger population—the opening of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, the "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's 9th Symphony, the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th Symphony—are (as their names would suggest) symphonic in scope. In recent decades, the Wind Ensemble as a form of high-level music-making, mostly in the music schools of large universities.

Boston University went 35-6-4, winning the national title in dramatic fashion last Saturday night in Washington, DC. Trailing by 3-1, with just over a minute remaining in regulation, the Terriers struck twice within 42 seconds to tie the game, the latter goal coming with 18 seconds to play. The game-winner came at 11:47 of over- time, giving Parker his third NCAA crown and the school’s fifth.
