Spring Sounds in a Stunning Space: A Memorable Mid-South Concert
The spring concert on March 9, 2025 was truly a spectacular event, enjoyed by both the audience and the musicians. Held at the beautiful First Baptist Church of Chattanooga, the venue provided the perfect setting for a diverse program and showcased the talents of guest performers and band member soloists.
For selected pieces, the band was joined by guest organist Jeff Scofield. In addition, eight guest trumpeters accompanied the band in antiphonal style, playing alternately from either side of the stage. These trumpeters were: Pablo Alvarex, Dennis Bauer, Tommy Bluman, Curt Elverd, Dan Hanson, Zac Schmidt, Jim Schwall and Sam White. Band member and oboist Jeff Roueché performed a lovely solo for Morricone’s Gabriel’s Oboe, while band member Pete Fox played a rollicking baritone saxophone solo for Tinturier’s Big Model. Thank you to all of our special performers!
