NORTH SAANICH CONCERT

feat

BY ROSEMARY OWEN

“A case of virtue finding it’s
own reward”’ was the explanation
of Austin Scott, band conductor,
for a notable improvement in the
quality of musicianship displayed
at. the. North Saanich Junior
Secondary School band concert
on March 26.

“Both - bands have worked
very hard, with particular
emphasis on team work and
intonation: I find the junior band
particularly. rewarding as they
‘are fresh material with no
preconceived faults to correct,’
he said.

The Osling arrangement of
‘The Wood Chopper’ was made
realistically effective by the
grade 8 band with the use of
claves and wood blocks, followed
by ‘The Happy Bugler’ (Davis).in
which the trumpet sectionearried
the theme without the usual

~ breaks. associated with junior

musicians of brief experience.
TONAL QUALITY

The senior band swept the
audience into a rollicking mood
with two sea chanties, and in
contrast the theme from the film
Roemo and Juliet. Here the flutes
and clarinets shone in- tonal
quality against a well balanced
bass accompaniment. The
challenging five-four timed
arrangement of ‘Mission Im-
possible’ was proven possible in
the hands of this older group. ‘A
Very Good Year’ (Drake) lacked
the necessary joyous lilt and
seemed to drag at times.

The Junior band showed good
control in handling the theme
from the Haydn ‘Symphony in G,
familiar to many as the hymn
tune ‘St. Albans.’ An unrehearsed
experiment. deploying trum-

Bland to different parts of the
hall to achieve ‘Twin Echoes’
(Davis) earned the juniors an
enthusiastic burst of applause,
followed by a cheery beer garden
“One, Two, Three, Oompah-Pah’
in which the timpany excelled.

Drums and saxophone (that
bastard instrument, some purists
term it!) led in a toe tapping
syncopation with the senior
band whose sense of timing is
well developed. As their director
mentioned, ‘‘all band music is
written either for the dance or
march and the precise definition
of beat is essential.”

The controversial ‘Aquarius’
taken from. the Tribal Rock
Musical ‘Hair’ defeated the older
group in a sticky start, but they
were able to recover the difficult
dissonant passages common to

Announcers Pat Taylor and
David Lawrence presented
programme notes, with an in-
teresting commentary preceding
each number. —

Don McKinnon, school prin-
thanked the Parents’
Committee under Mrs. Alger for
their faithful. daily service and
home ‘cocking in the cafeteria,
the proceeds from which help
with an annual expense of $2,000
for instruments and music.

The band will visit Vancouver
-after Easter to play at Point Grey
junior secondary. school .and
again at the McPherson Theatre
in June.
