Here's a little something I bet most of you don't know about me. I started playing the trumpet in 5th grade, and I switched to playing the euphonium (it can also be known as a baritone) in middle school.

Band was my main activity throughout my school years, and, I must say, I was pretty darn good. During my junior and senior years, I participated in a group known as the Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony. You can read a bit more in depth about it on its Wikipedia page, but it is essentially an elite level symphony group composed solely of high schoolers. I was placed into Group II both times, and I had a blast. I remembered recently that I had recordings from the two fall concert seasons, and I thought sharing these recordings would be an interesting and fun thing to do as well as a good change of pace for the blog.
Unfortunately, the burned copies of CDS we were given did not provide the track names when synced to a computer, and since it has been 5+ years since I performed these songs with the group I only remember the names for a vast minority of them. Perhaps I'll take the time to find the titles one day, but until then please enjoy!
Expect Part 2 and Part 3 for this concert to be coming soon!

I remember this being a fun piece. It's so purposefully chaotic and discordant, thus it was a nice change of pace.
