2023 Digital Program

Anderson High School Band presents an old familiar story told from a different point of view!

Join us as we embark on an adventure through our favorite national parks and spend our first night camping under the stars!

Our 2023 Timberwolf Marching Band production, “Belle Mécanique”, explores the duality of the “beautiful” (belle) and the “mechanical” (mécanique). The “belle” aesthetic is presented via a floral theme with the “mécanique” aesthetic being largely represented by gears.

Both beauty and mechanical precision can exist in isolation but become truly powerful and engaging when combined. We hope you enjoy our presentation of “Belle Mécanique”!

“Medusa’s Secret World” explores the world of a life that was forever changed from beauty to disgrace, finally seeking the ultimate revenge.

Fugue State is a study of musical and visual counterpoint….reality versus illusion, unity versus individuality, black and white versus color. The soundtrack heightens the contrast between the classical and modern pop genres, featuring music of Brad Meldhau, JS Bach, Bela Bartok, Kate Bush and Son Lux.

Mind the Gap takes the audience on a tour of London aboard the world famous “Tube”!
Mind the Gap features trumpet soloist Jay McEntire, horn soloist Cristina Crozier, and narrator Millie Randall. Please sit back, relax, and… “Mind the Gap” as you enjoy the sights and sounds of the Georgetown Eagle Marching Band and Colorguard!

The Glenn Grizzly Band’s 2023 production is titled “Picking Up the Pieces”. The performance begins with a passionate display of love, featuring intricate formations and harmonious melodies that symbolize the euphoria of new relationships. As the story progresses, the mood shifts, and the performers skillfully convey the anguish of heartbreak with a striking portrayal of shattered formations. Ultimately the show resolves on a hopeful note as the performers mend the broken pieces, ending with a triumphant and heartwarming finale that displays the power of enduring love.

Lake Travis’ 2023 production “AnonymoUS” is about going from being a nameless and faceless member of a group to developing a sense of independence and personal identity, even if and especially when that makes you stand out against the group.

The Leander High School Band is proud to present our 2023 marching band show titled, RIPPLE. Through the use of an incredible soundtrack featuring music from a variety of genres, the continued visual effect of “ripples” in all iterations (drill and choreography), and an aesthetics package utilizing water imagery and iconography, the Leander HS band will draw parallels between a water droplet creating lasting ripples and the value of an individual’s impact on others. One decision, one small gesture, one moment of compassion, one moment of truly listening to another human can and will have a lasting impact. We hope you enjoy… RIPPLE!!!

The expansion westward created a sense of community amongst the pioneers that led the way. They developed the American Folk tunes that often allowed for community comradery and provided a source of entertainment. The existence of the American Folk music is internationally influenced and is as diverse as the American Ideal.

McNeil’s 2023 production is entitled Six° and is based around the idea, that all people are six or few social connections away from each other. There are six note groupings often performed together, six identical shapes at once, impacts are structured in six, visually there are six degree points on the field, and the music is written in six. The emotional and visual themes of this production, from start to finish, are about making these connections in real life and eventually being ‘found’ by our closest friends and family when we need them most.

The Moe & Gene Johnson Jaguar Band’s 2023 production, Long Live the King(s), pays homage to the timeless contributions of musical royalty. From the grand marches of John Phillip Sousa to the infectious beats of Michael Jackson and the electrifying energy of Elvis Presley. The show is set to captivate audiences of all ages.

We can all think of things that bring us joy, that make us smile and that refresh our spirits. For this we often look to the light around us and in others. The world becomes a little better every time we do. Ultimately, we realize that in every situation, we ourselves can be the light, we can be, luminous.

The production will immediately open on a scene of broken and forgotten cathedral windows scattered across the field. The musical repertoire and visual aesthetic will be a metaphorical “requiem” to this lost and forgotten cathedral that abstractly comes to life through the line of the production.

Our show, “SPOTLIGHT” will “illuminate” the individual performer and place them at the focus of the production. The performers travel through an emotional journey of discovering the spotlight, fighting for the spotlight, embracing the spotlight, and we end with everyone in the Spotlight, revealing our love for the art form we create together, and our awareness of the power and importance of each performer’s journey and story.

Join the Chap Band as they reflect on the emotions around loneliness and community. What is loneliness? Have you ever felt alone in a crowd? How do we create connections? We as humans have an intense desire to rely on the strengths of relationships to survive and thrive.
