After Dr, West was introduced by Director of Bands and Assistant began. The first piece the ensemble was Chorale and Alleluia (published in 1954) by American composer and conduc- tor Howard Hanson. This was an uplift- ing piece to begin the performance, audience's attention was captured during this piece and was held throughout the concert. The second work the ist Erling Mostad.

I felt like [ was being swept into a dif ferent place, It was like a movie score, and I felt like i was on an adven- ture.
