When is Oregon going to die? Ok, it's a good piece, but I'm pretty sure it's showed up at every state and national championship in the last 10 years.

For C Grade, go to http://www.soundclick.com/members/defau ... &id=533662

Aww cmon Matt! Oregon isnt too bad!!! De Haan does some nice stuff! We took his The Saint and The City to state last year. We are actually doing Oregon at our big concert in 3 weeks!!!

Most the publisher websites should either have a sample or say what cd you can find the recording on.

Recording of Open B Grade test 'Evocations' is hardly available anywhere. There is a military band recording around somewhere, apparently, but can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, brass versions are in abundance. Let me know if anyone has a copy or knows where to find it .

Cheers

Hey Nicole

I was looking for it myself, and found 4 -5 different movements for Evocations.

Are there different movements for this piece for the B Grade bands?!

Has anyone played this piece before?

Any info about the horn solo pieces?



I realise that sometimes composers put odd instruments, like harp, cello, bass and piano in their wind band pieces...but is it necessary for there to be string bass solos??
