The concert also includes a number of marches, such as “The Thunderer” by John Philip Sousa classic, “Procession of the Academics” by David Maslanka, “San Pie Folk Song March“ from China and the “Warship March” from Japan.Year 13 students were happy to be back in School for the day today as they collected their A level results. The work is played in three sections without pause titled, The Plain, The Serengeti, The People: Masai Dance and The Mountain: Kilimanjaro. Through its inherent rhythmic vitality and strong musical textures, “Kilimanjaro: An African Portrait“ by Robert Washburn, presents a stunning portrait of the East African areas of Kenya and Tanzania, the people who live there and their rich heritage. Its repeated note pattern musically depicts the expression of laughter. The piece ends with “Go, Go,” a humorous, light-textured tune. “Alagyaz,” which is the name of a mountain in Armenia, is a beloved Armenian folk song with a long-breathed melody as majestic as the mountain itself. The song has dance rhythms and ornamentation which make it an impressive, catchy tune. Also published in 1908, “Hoy, Nazan Eem” is a lively, lyric love song depicting a young man singing the praises of his beloved Nazan. “The Partridge's Song,” which was published in 1908, has a simple, delicate melody that seemingly depicts tiny steps of the partridge. Its declamatory beginning, rhythmic vitality and ornamentation make this a highly expressive song.

The Apricot Tree consists of three organically connected songs which were transcribed in 1904. “Armenian Dances” is built upon five Armenian folk songs and arranged by Alfred Reed. “Dance of the Imp” by David Samuel is written in a style reminiscent of Edvard Grieg's March of the Dwarfs, this masterful work utilizes playful themes, creative harmonies, chromatic scales, and very colorful orchestrations to create a fun and light-hearted musical experience. It rushes to the end before concluding with fanfare.

It is full of the rush to return to the unwell sweetheart, broken by anxious brass interjections. The second movement is a dramatic tale of an attempt to rescue their ill sweetheart. The composer notes that he attempted to retain the emotive freedom of “Belle” by changing time signatures to fit the melancholy melody, which is made all the more bittersweet with an additional countermelody. It is two of these recordings, “Le Belle et le Capitaine” and “Belle,” that appear in “Cajun Folk Songs” written by Frank Tichelli. Various Westernized variations of their traditional music arose, leading the Lomax brothers to record many folk songs from the South. The Cajuns were a group of early French colonists who settled in modern-day Nova Scotia before relocating to Louisiana after a British invasion. The band will also perform pieces with origins in Cajun folk music.

The band is dedicating this to all men and women serving in the military. The composer intends that this work should display the fervor and virtuosity of the Marine Band and the musical spirit and integrity of its conductor, Col. Full of energy and drama, the composition has both solemn and lighter moments. Based on “The Marines' Hymn,” this work is a kind of fantasy-march, as well as a tribute to the United States Marine Band, whose group had commissioned the work. The concert will open with “Esprit de Corps,” an original march written by Rober Jeager.
