Three decades later and a new generation of Band of Blue musicians will once again perform this timeless classic. The show will be in 3 sections: Opener, Ballad and Closer and each part lends itself to both musical and visual elements. In the opener you will instantly hear “The Hut of Baba Yaga and the haunting “Promenade” theme throughout this strong and electric opener. The “Ballet of the Young Chicks and Gnomus” adds to the ferocity and playful nature of this movement. All of this is a very “NEW and FRESH” approach to Mussorgsky’s classic. The Ballad section we hear the haunting “Old Castle” theme from the front ensemble as it transitions into a woodwind choir of the Promenade theme. The Closer is a fast paced arrangement of the Great Gate of Kiev. The Band of Blue once again breaks new ground this year with their 2011 show PICTURES 2K11 - PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION Through great music and drill, we will tell a story. Our show will be very different! Enjoy! We Are Proud Of You & Big Blue! Love Mom & Dad Only $25 Sample Ad: Please feel free to bring in a picture to place in the ad.
