The show continues with the soft and elegant melodies of “I Dreamed a Dream”. Next comes “Master of the House” with a buoyant and amusing flare. The show concludes with the soft yet spellbinding piece that is “On My Own/Do You Hear the People Sing”.

“DRUM CIRCLE”
1.       Opener – “Awakenings”
2.       Percussion Feature – “Village Dance”
3.       Ballad - “ Prayer Ritual”
4.       Closer – “The Return”

“DRUM CIRCLE” represents the simplicity of life in the village. The geographical location or ethnic characterization depicted through the artistic rendering of “drum Circle” resonates, as inconsequential, in comparison to the common plight amongst tribal communities to sustain life through daily rituals including; awakening at sunrise, the work of the day, the thrill of the hunt, the blessing of harvest, the reverence of life, and celebrations at end of day.

The Hanford High School music department is proud of its tradition of excellence in every component of the program. The marching band is recipient of numerous placing and caption awards from competitions around the Pacific Northwest. The band also won the visual caption award at the Bands of America Western Regional in 2009. The Jazz program at Hanford offers four levels of Jazz instruction including our top jazz band which has won several sweepstakes awards at competitions throughout the Northwest. The concert band program regularly receives superior ratings and band members have been recognized by receiving WIAA solo and ensemble awards and placements in All State and All Northwest honor groups. We would like to send a special thanks to our Administration at Hanford for their continued support and creativity. Our success is a reflection of their leadership.
