Needs for the 2008-09 Show “Live At the Met”...   Posted: January 28th, 2007

A Pulley with rope attached – big enough that the audience can see… A student will pull on the rope with the wheels giving the impression that the curtain to the theatre is being opened.

A Viking Helmet – for the End of the show (no need to explain)

A Conductor’s Baton to open the show – with of course a Black Tux Jacket and Wig. There will be two Drum Major podiums on the 50. One directly in the middle of the field – As the band plays backfield as the curtain opens. A great announcers voice – To announce prior to the show about cell phones…It can be taped or it can be live.

2008-09 Show...   Posted: December 28th, 2007

2008-09 Jackson Jaguar Band AUDITIONS are 2 weeks away…. With that in mind:

Russlan and Ludmilla – Opener (With the most musical runs ever attempted by anyone)
Nessun Dorma – Production (Alto Saxophone Soloist with Band)
Pagliacci – Finale (Fluglehorn soloist-duet Introduction, into a very exciting, arrangement,

Below are the MP 3 files of all 3 Musical Selections.

Russlan and Ludmilla Overture
Nessun Dorma
Vesti la Giubba

A Warmup will be announced shortly.

"I think this will be the hardest Woodwind Charts, the Jaguar Band has ever attempted
in 25 years of Marching Band. I am very, very excited about how these arrangements
have come out, and can’t wait to hear them. The audience will be very, very impressed
with these Musical Selections, and it is also something, we have NEVER TRIED before.
When I mentioned to some of the judges at USSBA, they were very, very impressed…
Can’t Wait!!!"

2007-08 Concert Band Update  Posted: December 28th, 2007

New Music for Concert Band…

Mr. McCormick has never arranged for a Concert Band before, and since he bought the “NEW” CD of Sweeney Todd,
that just came out, starring John Depp, Mr McCormick is very psyched.
The Movie has been directed by Tim Burton, and music rearranged by Stephen Sondheim, and is coming out this Christmas.
"I am very, very impressed by these new arrangements, and would like to arrange a special musical selection for this years Band and seniors…."
