SHOW TITLE: Introspection

SHOW MUSIC and COMPOSERS/ARRANGERS: Alex Thode, Percussion

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Introspection. Observation or examination of one's own mental and emotional state, mental processes, etc.; the act of looking within oneself. While in the act of trying to find inner peace, one can go through many emotional stages. Self doubt. Hysteria. Reflection. And even Regret. Sometimes your thoughts can overwhelm you and throw you into a panic. While the goal in life is to find your true identity, it is often difficult and sometimes treacherous to do so. Often it only takes a single thought to change one’s life forever.

MUSIC SELECTION:
“Pandora Reopened” by Randall Strandbridge

SHOW TITLE:
“Pandora Reopened”

DESCRIPTION:
The myth of Pandora’s box is considered one of the most descriptive myths of human behavior in Greek mythology. The myth serves to address the question of why evil exists in the world - all the while reminding us that it was our own weakness that released the hardships that plague humanity.

Pandora was given the gifts of beauty, femininity, and industriousness. But she was also deceitful, stubborn and curious. It was ultimately her curiosity, not maliciousness that proved her undoing and in the end she could no longer refrain from opening the box and released the illnesses and suffering that the gods had hidden in the box. As the evil spirts escaped, Pandora desperately tried to close the box – tragically capturing Hope inside.
Please enjoy this retelling of the story of Pandora’s Box. An ancient myth that serves a metaphor for our time and one that begs the question – “Does Hope spring eternal?”

The Instrumental Music Department would like to take this opportunity to thank the University High School Administrative Staff and the UHS Instrumental Music Boosters Association for their unwavering support of music and the arts at University High School

MUSIC SELECTIONS:
Ghost Train, by Eric Whitacre

SHOW TITLE:
Percy’s Midnight Ride

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Percy’s Midnight Ride tells a story that begins the hijacking of a London Underground train back in 1972. The blue train raced along the tracks for almost four hours through the middle of the night with many frightened passengers. As it sped by numerous stations without stopping, witnesses reported the Engineer’s car to be empty. When the train finally came to a stop, the Engineer, Percy Wilshire, was missing. Nobody ever knew what role he played in the hijacking as they never heard from him again. The story eventually faded into London folklore, until 20 years later when the same blue line raced off into the night. Passengers screamed as they wondered what was happening. Some older adults began to recall the story of hijacking from their youth and knew that this must be the Ghost of Percy and his Midnight Ride.

The duty of a knight is to learn to fight and serveth their liege lord according to the code of chivalry. A knight shouldst be brave and fearless but also devout, loyal, courteous and generous. To gaineth knighthood is a long and arduous task, not simply bestow'd purely because a man is a son of a gentle. Our brave knight learns the code of chivalry, falls in love with a beautiful maiden, and embarketh in a crusade to establish his kingdom. Deus vult!

SHOW TITLE:
Flight 19: Lost in the Triangle

DESCRIPTION:
Flight 19 was the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 airmen on the flight were lost, as were all 13 crew members of a PBM Mariner flying boat assumed by professional investigators to have exploded in mid-air while searching for the flight. Navy investigators could not determine the cause of the loss of Flight 19 but said the airmen may have become disoriented and ditched in rough seas after running out of fuel.
