Fall Band Concert

The Deerfield High School band program will present their annual Fall Band Concert on Tuesday, November 8, at 7:00pm in the DHS auditorium. Featured will be the Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band. The program will include traditional and contemporary band music from 20th-century American composers Vincent Persichetti and Peter Mennin. Lending an international flavor will be a work by Australian composer Percy Grainger and transcriptions of French piano music by Impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. The Jazz Band will play a pair of classic hard-bop tunes by Wes Montgomery and Miles Davis and a recent hit by Roy Hargrove, “Strasbourg/St. Denis.” There will also be a selection performed by a combined band of DHS students and 8th graders from Bannockburn, Caruso, Holy Cross, and Shepard Schools. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
