Lakota West 2006 Midwest Clinic Tribute - SYMPHONIC OVERTURE by James Barnes - Symphonic Winds

Lakota West High School, West Chester, Ohio. http://lakotawestbands.org. This is a tribute to members of the Lakota West Symphonic Winds and their performance at The Midwest Clinic on December 22, 2006. The band was directed by Greg Snyder, Chris Brandenburg and Drews Mitchell. Anthony Marinello assisted in preparation.

In addition to the members of Symphonic Winds, performers included a bell choir consisting of Lakota School District music teachers; an alumni woodwind quintet; and a 22 member brass choir consisting of alumni, teachers, and parents.

The Midwest Clinic is an international band and orchestra conference in Chicago, Illinois attended by more than 15,000 educators, students, musicians, and industry professionals each year. Lakota West previously performed at the conference in 2000.

This was such a great time. Some of the best memories ever. I still brag about this now, even after I graduated college.

Warren Central High School is performing this. We have a couple months before competition, but we sound like this already. I love your band (:

This overture still gives me chills to this day... The solos and fanfare at the end are amazing!

I was part of the LW Midwest performance in 2001 (I think that was the year?) and remember this piece as one of the best we performed. This performance by the 2006 Winds blew me away! Congrats to all!

Thank you OhioBandDad for putting this together.

When I was a high school student, it performed. I think this tune to be a very nostalgic.

@strong654 That bass clarinet is a piece of JUNK.

I love this piece! My college band played it this year. Well done, it's not an easy piece.
