We played "Wipe Out" in junior high (so not Jazz, but whatever) and that was just fun. I loved playing "Round Midnight," "How High the Moon," and "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy." In Concert Band we had a Mary Poppins medley I loved, but the boys thought it was lame, so they played it badly on purpose so we didn't have to play it. And there was a march called the "Klaxon" (I think) that was so incredibly boring to play while sitting, but became much more fun when actually marching in a parade. It was the march that got me to understand why marches were invented: to make marching fun.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967372439743853589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823861851109958324.post-18153520811543470132014-02-16T22:20:23.713-08:002014-02-16T22:20:23.713-08:00Do you have a favorite piece of music that you pla...Do you have a favorite piece of music that you played, either marching or concert?

Funny how we both crushed like crazy on those boys. I think it might have been the Col. Bogey's March concert where the name Smillee came from... Jody and I were laughing so hard...Sara K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09228051158777330592noreply@blogger.com
