spring concert


Last night was our dress rehearsal for the varsity band spring concert. We got to play with our guest artists Nat Mcintosh on tuba and sousaphone, founder of the youngblood brass band and Mark Pender on trumpet, from The Max Weinberg 7 on Late night with Conan O'brien. Nat was actually a student here at Madison at one point, and can do amazing things with his instrument. I have always been a fan of Conan O'brien and the max weinberg 7. Mark is the bald trumpet guy, he is hard to miss. They both are amazing musicians and we will be playing a number of pieces with both of them. My definite favorite is a song called Brooklyn by the young blood brass band where Nat will be playing along with us. Here is a music clip of the original song. Tickets are still available for tonight's concert and the weekend so don't hesitate!
