On Tuesday, November 15, the Hill Country Community Band played a joint concert with the Wallace MS Wind Ensemble at the Hays CISD Performing Arts Center.  I have uploaded the following songs that include either HCCB songs or combined songs.  I’ve posted a few Youtube videos of the Wallace kids and will link to them soon.

OK, this is the music from the April 9, 2011 concert of the Hill Country Community Band held at First Baptist Church Wimberley.

Again, if you are a member of the band and want a ZIP file of the MP3 files, just contact me.

On Saturday, February 5, 2011, the Hill Country Community Band played in Dripping Springs for the “A Grand Evening on Broadway” at DS High School. This was a fundraising concert with multiple groups from Dripping Springs, the Hill Country Community Band, and the Starlight Orchestra. DS High School is attempting to fund the purchase of a Grand Piano.

Our performance was one song – Symphonic Dances from Fiddler on the Roof. This was taken mid-stage with the good recorder (note the difference in recording quality).

Again, if you are a band member, you can email me for the link (if it isn’t sent out in an email).

On December 17, 2010, the Hill Country Community Band performed it’s Christmas concert at First Baptist Church in Wimberley. The following files represent the music performed. I used my older recorder that doesn’t capture the full audio fidelity, but I need to find my original recorder before the next round of concerts in February for both the Comal Community Band as well as the Hill Country Community Band.

If you are a member of the band and would like the full MP3 packages, please contact me and I’ll give you a link.

The following files were recorded at the Hill Country Community Band Spring 2010 Concert held on May 14, 2010 at First Baptist Church in Wimberly, TX.

These recordings are different than my normal ones – I placed the recorder to the rear of the sanctuary and left it running throughout the concert.  Therefore, these recordings sound like they would if you were in the audience.  The turn out was great and the concert went well.

This completes the long concert circuit of the months of April and May.  The  next performance will be by the Comal Community Band at the end of July and then both groups are busy on the 4th of July weekend.

Here is another set of recordings from our concert yesterday.  Please note that these songs are for personal use only and are mainly intended for friends who could not attend the performance.  I will remove the links upon request.

Song Notes:  These songs are from my perspective in the band.  So note that they are low-brass and percussion heavy.  This would be what the concert would sound like if you were a performer.  Also note that the IPhone has a good dynamic range, but some of these songs exceed this range from time to time.  Also, the first two songs were recorded with the microphone in the wrong direction (sorry).  Also note that these songs were performed after a maximum of 4 rehersals since restarting for the fall.
