The Tusculum Band Program invites audiences to enjoy a Sunday afternoon filled with music as it presents its spring concert on April 30.<\/p>\n

The concert will begin at 2 p.m. in the auditorium of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building. The local community is invited to the performance, which will feature the Concert Band, Jazz Band and Handbell Choir.<\/p>\n

A sense of place is present in the repertoire to be performed by the Concert Band. That sense of place is readily evident in \u201cAn American Fanfare,\u201d \u201cGod Bless America,\u201d \u201cMarch of the Belgian Paratroopers,\u201d and \u201cMars,\u201d a movement from Holst\u2019s symphonic masterpiece, \u201cThe Planets.\u201d Two places are brought to mind by the jazz standard \u201cTuba Tiger Rag,\u201d first, New Orleans as the home of Dixieland Jazz and second, Canada, as the tune as become synonymous with the Canadian Brass. Jeff Bennington, who shares his talents in all three of the Tusculum groups to perform in the concert, will be the featured tuba soloist on the song.<\/p>\n

Less familiar to the audience may be the beautiful \u201cIn Perfect Silence, I Often Gaze at the New Stars,\u201d a musical tribute written by Richard L. Saucedo about those who lost their lives in the May 2011 tornado that devastated the city of Joplin, Missouri, and the heroes that sacrificed of themselves to help the victims.<\/p>\n

Special guest string musicians under of the direction of Galina Timofeev will also join the Concert Band for performances of \u201cGod Bless America,\u201d \u201cMarch of the Belgian Paratroopers\u201d and \u201cMars.\u201d The string musicians will also be performing \u201cThe Star Spangled Banner,\u201d \u201cFor the Beauty of the Earth\u201d and \u201cAmerica the Beautiful.\u201d A professional violinist, Timofeev performs as part of the Johnson City Symphony Orchestra and teaches violin at the University School at East Tennessee State University, as well as in private lessons to students of all ages.<\/p>\n

Those attending the performance of the Pioneer Jazz Band during the Old Oak Festival on the Tusculum campus got a preview of some of the tunes to be performed during the Spring Concert. Toe-tapping \u201cMack the Knife\u201d will feature vocalist Amy Saxonmeyer, and vocalist Sandi Moore is featured on the soulful, \u201cGod Bless the Child,\u201d a tribute to the late Al Jarreau. In another tribute to the late Chuck Barris, the Jazz Band will play \u201cJumpin\u2019 at the Woodside\/Two O\u2019Clock Jump,\u201d songs featured on Barris\u2019 television classic, \u201cThe Gong Show.\u201d The Jazz Band will also be performing \u201cCopacabana,\u201d Herb Albert\u2019s \u201cTijuana Taxi,\u201d Quincy Jones\u2019 arrangement of \u201cFly Me to the Moon\u201d and \u201cFeeling Good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spring is the subject of the first movement of one of the pieces to be performed by the Handbell Choir. In addition\u2019s to a handbell arrangement of Vivaldi\u2019s \u201cFour Seasons,\u201d the Choir will be performing some popular music classics, \u201cEleanor Rigby,\u201d Floyd Cramer\u2019s \u201cLast Date,\u201d the 1960s pop hit \u201cThe Lion Sleeps Tonight\u201d and a Neil Sedaka-penned tune made famous by the Captain and Tennille, \u201cLove Will Keep Us Together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band program began in 2010 with the formation of a pep band and has grown to include a Marching Band, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Handbell Choir and various small ensembles. The Band Program hosts three concerts each year, a Christmas performance and programs in the winter and the spring. In addition, each of the major groups as well as small ensembles have performed in community events such as the Greeneville Christmas Parade, the Old Oak Festival, Music on the Square in Jonesborough, the Laughlin Hospital Foundation\u2019s Derby Days event.<\/p>\n
