Concert band contest judges three pieces; a march, a piece off of the OMEA list, and a choice piece followed by sight reading, where the band is Text Box: given 3 minutes to view a piece before performing it for a judge. The march this year is entitled Invercargill, composed by Alex F. Lithgow. The music of Songs of Old Kentucky by Brandt Karrick may ring a bell; the first movement was performed at the winter concert. But make sure to come back to hear the entire piece put together and better than ever. Invicta by James Swearingen is the final of the three pieces that are being sent to contest.
