On Oct. 4, both the wind orchestra and the symphonic band will have a concert revolving around a specially composed piece commemorating the events of 9/11. Though the 10th anni- versary of 9/11 has already passed, the emotion and confusion of that day will surely never be forgotten. The piece was composed by professor of music theory and composition Dr. Benjamin Boone, who incorporated the thoughts and comments from music students of that tragic day. The wind orchestra will perform this two-part piece called 9/11: Voices Echo, Attack and Aftermath. Director of bands Gary P. Gilroy said he remembered Emily Willingham, the principle flute for the wind orchestra, speaking quite emotionally of 9/11 as an undergraduate, one of the many echoing voices in this two-piece compo- sition. Photo courtesy of Director of Bands, Gary P.
