YOUNG BAND CHALLENGE THE FUTURE MICHAEL STORY (ASCAP) PROGRAM NOTES On January 28, 1986, Astronauts Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Rednick, Dick Scobee and Michael Smith perished when the Space Shuttle Challenger 7 exploded after takeoff. As the Nation grieved, President Reagan spoke eloquently: “This sacrifice has stirred the soul of our Nation and, through the pain, our hearts have been opened to a profound truth: The future is not free, the story of all human progress is one of struggle against all odds…man will continue his conquest of space, to reach out for new goals and ever greater achievements. That is the way we commemorate our seven Challenger heroes.” Challenge the Future is dedicate to the memory of the Challenger 7 and celebrates the never-ending drive of the human spirit that encourages to always “reach for the stars.” INSTRUMENTATION 1 Conductor 8 C Flute 2 Oboe 2 Bassoon 4 1st B b Clarinet 4 2nd B b Clarinet 2 B b Bass Clarinet 5 E b Alto Saxophone 4 B b Tenor Saxophone/ Baritone T.C. 2 E b Baritone Saxophone 4 1st B b Trumpet 4 2nd B b Trumpet 4 Horn in F 4 Trombone 2 Baritone 4 Tuba 2 Mallet Percussion (Bells, Chimes) 1 Timpani (Tune: B b , E b ) 2 Percussion I (Snare Drum, Bass Drum) 2 Percussion II (Suspended Cymbal, Crash Cymbals) Please note: Our band and orchestra music is now being collated by an automatic high-speed system.
