Our 2002 show is an abstract view of the life that comes alive after the sun goes down, which we have entitled "The Dark Side of Day." The music has references to darkness or evening, comes from classical repertoire we are certain you will recognize, and is set in three movements. The show opens as the sun sets and the night takes on a life of it's own with "THE AWAKENING," featuring Shawna Yoffe on flute and alto saxophone, and Sean Boyce on baritone. Following this energetic opening, the band presents "SHADOWS," a serene and plaintive reflection on the more peaceful side of the evening, featuring Sam Maurer on mellophone, Janelle Pham and Alex Bender on trumpet. As the evening goes on, the third movement depicts the playful side of night we like to call "MIDNIGHT DANSE," featuring Shawna Yoffe on flute, our percussion section, and all the sections in the band. The danse takes us through the evening and to an unexpected and "thrilling" climax to the program. We hope you enjoy your visit to "The Dark Side of Day."
