  • 2021 Breeze Show Choir Catalog
    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 2/24/21) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples and cost) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** For songs that do not have vocal rehearsal tracks, these can be created for $150/song. To place an order, send an e-mail to [email protected] or submit a license request on Tresona listing Garrett Breeze as the arranger, Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Most SATB songs, for example, can be easily reworked for SAT. • Remember that show function is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing an arrangement. For example, if something is labelled in the catalog as a Song 2/4, it is probably not going to work as a closer.

  • Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"; Commending Bill Arter’S Life and Career; and Directing Distribution
    ENROLLED SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 38 By: Newberry A Resolution finding Bill Arter the inspiration for "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"; commending Bill Arter’s life and career; and directing distribution. WHEREAS, William "Bill" Bernard Arter was born June 10, 1923, in Woodriver, Illinois, the son of James and Lillian Arter. As a young man he tried out as a second baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals and was told to report for spring training. Instead, Bill was drafted into military service during World War II and reported to the United States Army. He was assigned to the Medical Unit of Company B; and WHEREAS, Bill Arter played the bugle. The Army was racially segregated at the time, and Company C was an all-black outfit. Whenever he had the opportunity, Bill would visit Company C for jam sessions, thus earning him the nickname, "The Bugle Boy from Company B"; and WHEREAS, Bill Arter earned five Bronze Stars during his military service. Bill celebrated his 21st birthday deployed with the third wave during the D-Day invasion where he won one of his Bronze Stars. As a medic he cared for wounded soldiers, but his care was not limited to medical matters as he entertained the troops as well. Throughout the war Bill would join with a few other musically inclined soldiers and entertain what would eventually total thousands of troops; and WHEREAS, Don Raye and Hughie Prince wrote the song, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", which was introduced by the Andrews Sisters in the 1941 Abbott and Costello movie, "Buck Privates". "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Song.

  • Company B Choreography Bypaul Taylor Songs Sung by the Andrews
    Company B Choreography by Paul Taylor Songs sung by The Andrews Sisters* Staged by Patrick Corbin Costumes design by Santo Loquasto Lighting design by Jennifer Tipton Paul Taylor’s Company B is in a class by itself, a rousing modern dance that both celebrates the upbeat optimism that animated the popular music of World War II and reveals the dark realities of war. The music is the songs of the fabled Andrews Sisters — by far the most successful and beloved singing group of its era. Here are the jaunty “Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!” (Johnny - as someone called him, “a wonderful corn-fed Romeo” — under siege by a swarm of besotted girls); the provocative “Rum and Coca Cola” with its beguiling Latin rhythms; the plangent “I Can Dream, Can’t I?”; the explosive "Tico- Tico”; the signature rallying cry, “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy…of Company B.” The dancers are soldiers and bobby-soxers, joyous and carefree, until the war impinges — sometimes fatally — on their fun. Reviewing Company B’s premiere in 1991, The New York Times hailed “the extraordinary appeal of this profound piece of choreography to a groovy beat." Miami City Ballet premiere February 25, 1995 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. *All selections performed by The Andrews Sisters courtesy of MCA Records.

The victory was the tightest since Artie Shaw topped King Benny for 1938s crown in that department. Almost as close was Tommy Dorsey’s lead over Glenn Miller for the sweet band lead. Tommy’s crown was re-acquired in the year of his string addition despite many adverse comments from the critics on the style change. Tommy held the crown in 1939 and then bowed to Glenn for the 1940 and 1941 seasons to recapture the coveted award again this year.1 January 1, 1943 (Fri) 10:30 - 11:00 pm Hollywood Palladium (KNX) (Local) (Sustaining) January 2, 1943 (Sat) M-G-M Studios Culver City, California Soundtrack Recording Session M-G-M Film Production “Girl Crazy” I GOT RHYTHM (Ira Gershwin-George Gershwin) Vocal refrain by Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Six Hits And A Miss, The Music Maids, Hal Hopper, Trudy Erwin, Barbara Canvin and the M-G-M Studio Chorus Continued from of December 29, 1942 recording session Also continued to February 2, 1943 recording session CD: Rhino R2 72732, R2 75290 January

Baseball music, when examined as a group, reveals the remarkable congruence between the evolution of the sport from before the Civil War to the present, and the musical counterparts that have chronicled in song baseball’s greatest moments. While the music associated with baseball has grown to span a number of musical genres since the 1850s, the sport’s intersection with popular music was solidified in New York’s Tin Pan Alley publishing houses. From the late 1800s through
