"Arboretum" is a breathtaking exploration of nature's vibrant lifecycle, told through soaring melodies, intricate drill, and an explosion of color. The field will visually transform from a stark, dormant landscape into a magnificent, blossoming garden as the musicians and color guard breathe life into the turf.
This show starts out with a gentle, warm introduction with the keyboards doing a nice melody. The Alto Sax soloist will take the lead to capture the attention of the audience with a nice Golden Hour arrangement and then the full movement going into Golden Hour. It then follows into a fast-paced sequence, (Dance of the Tumblers). Next it slows down a little bit with a beautiful ballad, (Waltz of the Flowers). Then we go with a more familiar tune, (Can't Help Falling in Love). And finally, for the closer is a beautiful arrangement of (What a Wonderful World).
A warm, building introduction that represents the sun rising over the greenhouse. Featuring the sweeping, modern piano melodies of JVKE, arranged for dynamic brass and front ensemble.
A highly energetic, technical feature blending "Dance of the Tumblers" by Rimsky-Korsakov and "Waltz of the Flowers" by Tchaikovsky. Watch for intricate woodwind runs and a fierce percussion feature.
A lush, emotional brass chorale featuring the timeless classic by Elvis Presley. This movement acts as the emotional core of the show, allowing the color guard to paint the field with flowing colors.
A triumphant, full-ensemble closer. Starting softly before exploding into a massive, majestic impact, this arrangement of Bob Theile & George Weiss's masterpiece leaves a lasting impression.
