I’m getting excited! The big concert is on Friday! This is not something you want to miss! This year we have had so much practice, and even played a concert at the Landmark Theater.
Here’s the deal. $5… 7:30 pm… Cosby High School. Buy tickets early, they are known to sell out! There are still plenty left as of right now. Get them at the front office of the school.
Broadway’s Ivan Rutherford will be singing his signature tune from Les Misérables, and two Michael Buble songs! We have 10 tunes we will be doing, and of course, our patriotic finale! …Oh, and your’s truly… will be narrating some lyrical text while the band plays American The Beautiful.
The Fifth Annual Concert of The Titan Band will be held on Friday May 20, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. in the Cosby Theater. This show will be a Hollywood-styled production that promises to be a memorable evening for the entire Cosby community. A celebrity guest master of ceremonies, a professional soloist from Broadway, and the bands patriotic finale will make this a truly special evening. Tickets are available at the school beginning May 16and sell for $5.00 a seat. Due to previous sell-outs, it is highly suggested to get them early.
Our featured soloist for the evening is Ivan Rutherford, star of the Broadway smash hit “Les Miserables”. He will perform his signature “Bring Him Home” from that show, as well as “Sway” and “Feelin Good” as recorded by Michael Buble’. In addition, a wide variety of other musical styles will be covered by the band. Additional highlights for the evening include “Inchon” by Robert W. Smith—a spectacular tribute to Korean war veterans, “The Crosley March” by Henry Fillmore—from the bands unanimous “Superior” rated State Concert Festival performance, “Selections for the Wizard of Oz”, “Song for Lyndsey” by Andrew Boysen, “Sedona” by Steven Reineke, “Pachinko” by Paul Yoder, “America the Beautiful”, and the bands’ traditional and well known patriotic finale featuring the Service Songs of the Armed Forces of the United States and our National March, The Stars and Stripes Forever.
Mr. Rutherford will have his own CD’s for sale and will be available to sign them after the show.
The band will also be presented with their plaques for SUPERIOR ratings at the State Marching Festival (2 years in a row), State Concert Festival (5 years in a row), and their second Commonwealth of Virginia Honor Band plaque.
Mr. Andrew Brock, Director of Bands at Tomahawk Creek Middle, and Mr. Christopher Fens, Director of Bands at Bailey Bridge Middle will serve as guest conductors for the evening. Photos of the band and of the guest artist are available on request.
So let’s see. The Landmark Theater is a pretty cool place. It’s where I saw Lady Gaga a while back. It’s also where John Phillip Sousa’s band, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and many others have performed.
Not gonna lie, this is going to be the best $5 concert at the Landmark. My high school isn’t your ‘average’ high school band. We’re pretty good. Rated ‘superior’ unanimously by all of the judges at our state assessment earning us our Virginia Honor Band title.
