Episode 481: Midwest Clinic 2017, Highlights II

Picture
Concert road trips bring thousands of young musicians to the Midwest Clinic in Chicago every December. Maybe for security or safety, they tend to stay in groups, sometimes large groups, as they meander their way through the exposition hall. What an amazing sight. If they are getting ready to perform, you can see the anticipation on their faces. When they’re done the expressions change a little. They seem more satisfied and yet ready to explore. It is a snapshot of pure creative energy, and it is contagious!  ​

Doug, thanks for bringing this episode of amazing high school talent! I'd like to know how to get one the CDs from this Chicago Dec event.
What you played tells me the future of wind bands is bright, and that's good.

Mark

Hi Mark!

Mark Morette will be happy to take care of your interest. Just go to http://www.markcustom.com

The future is strong. Next winter, the band from Stoneman Douglas HS Wind Ensemble in Parkland, FL will perform at Midwest. They will perform "To the Fallen" a new work by Onsby Rose. I met him recently - an excellent new friend.

btw: we'll need you for the Labor Day 10th Anniversary Gala. Kevin Sedatole (DOB Michigan State) is coming down to conduct the Tulsa Wind Symphony! There are 2,000 seats to fill, but I'm optimistic.
