The first highlight of 2007

Welcome in 2007! This year is just one week old, but the first highlight already happened. Yesterday it was time for our traditional annual New Years Concert. Compared to last years edition I was really looking forward to it because somehow I knew that we would perform very well this time. And the concert was a complete success! Until now I heard no single negative feedback but many many congratulations. For those of you who are interested in music – this was our program:

The Earl of Oxford March (William Byrd, arr. Philip Sparke)
Titanic (Stephan Jaeggi, arr. Edy Kurmann)
Jazz Suite #2 (Dmitri Shostakowich, arr. Johan de Meij)
We played all 6 pieces (March, Lyric Waltz, Dance 1, Dance 2, Waltz No 2, Finale) and were supported by an accordion.
Unter der Admiralsflagge (Julius Fucik, arr. Jan W. Singerling)

Mont Blanc (Otto M. Schwarz)
Gladiator (Hans Zimmer + Lisa Gerrard, arr. Erick Debs)
Santana, a portrait (Carlos Santana, arr. Giancarlo Gazzani)
Here my brother had a nice solo with his saxophon – he did it really well
Tiger Rag (N. La Rocca, arr. Pi Scheffer)

That was our concert. I’m really looking forward to listen to the CD we produce every year (we always make a live record). Afterwards we were invited to a restaurant for some good food and some drinks (for me it lasted till 5:30 am) *g*

Next week I have to drive to Klagenfurt for supporting the carinthian military music. Let's rock Klagenfurt.
