SUMMARY:WTAMU Concert Band performance honoring the late band director Darin K. Johns
DESCRIPTION:WT Concert Band to Debut Piece Commissioned for Late Andrews Band Director; WT Symphonic Band Also Set to Perform  \nCANYON\, Texas — A piece honoring the legacy of a Texas band director killed in a November car crash will have its regional premiere during an April 27 West Texas A&M University band concert. \nThe WT Concert Band will perform “The Essence of Memory” by Dr. B.J. Brooks\, WT professor of theory and composition\, during its 6 p.m. April 27 concert in Mary Moody Northen Recital Hall on WT’s Canyon campus. \nIt commemorates the life of Darin K. Johns\, the Andrews High School band director who died in a Nov. 19 bus-pickup crash near Big Spring. Also killed in the wreck was Marc Elbert Boswell\, an Andrews High math teacher and director of data information systems\, who was driving the school bus. \n“In the weeks following the tragedy that took the lives of Darin and Marc\, we were all awed by the outpouring of collective tributes that spread out like waves on a still lake. First local\, then in neighboring communities\, then further throughout the state as people shared Darin’s story through social media\,” Brooks said. “His story touched so many because his story is part of us all. As musicians\, educators\, parents\, and community members\, we well understood the commitment to the school and its students that is personified in a band director.” \nThe piece was commissioned by Association of Texas Small School Bands and premiered in February during the Texas Music Educators Association 4A All-State Symphonic Band concert. \n“We are so fortunate to have a composer of Dr. Brooks’ caliber on our faculty\,” said Dr. Russ Teweleit\, professor of music and conductor of the WT Concert Band. “It’s sobering to recognize the loss of one of our band director peers\, but Dr. Brooks’ piece is truly exceptional.” \nThe concert band will include two of Johns’ former students in its roster: sophomore Anthony NovoGradac and senior Landon Proffitt. \nThe concert band also will perform Brooks’ “Willows of Winter\,” conducted by student Shelby Easley-McPherson\, a graduate music performance student from Odessa; “Galactic Empires” by David Gillingham; “Xerxes” by John Mackey\, conducted by student Emily Henson\, a graduate music performance student from Hereford; and the finale of Vasily Kalinnikov’s Symphony No. 1 in G Minor. \nThe concert band’s performance will be followed at 8 p.m. by the WT Symphonic Band. The ensemble’s performance will feature Dr. John Shanks\, WT professor of trombone\, on John Mackey’s “Harvest: Concerto for Trombone.” \n“This exciting work is considered to be one of the most challenging works from the trombone repertoire and also is a tour de force for the winds and percussion\,” said Don Lefevre\, associate professor of music and WT Symphonic Band conductor. \nThe concert also will feature Percy Aldridge Grainger’s “Children’s March\,” “Frank Ticheli’s “Lux Perpetua” and Alfred Reed’s “El Camino Real.” \nAdmission for both concerts is free. Call 806-651-2840. \nFostering an appreciation of the arts is a key mission of the University’s long-range plan\, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World. \nThat plan is fueled by the historic\, $125 million One West comprehensive fundraising campaign. To date\, the five-year campaign — which publicly launched Sept. 23 — has raised about $110 million. \n  \nConcert Band Personnel\nFlute \n\nErin Hinds\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nNatalie Samuels\, Senior\, Monahans\nAmaya Rangel\, Junior\, Odessa\nSavannah Neis\, Senior\, Lubbock\nNalyn Chanthakhoune\, Freshman\, Amarillo\nIsabel Hernandez\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nElena Moreno\, Freshman\, Amarillo\nJasmine Solis\, Freshman\, Amarillo\nCarmella Love\, Junior\, Amarillo\n\nOboe \n\nJocelyn Morales\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nEmily Klein\, Junior\, Amarillo\n\nBassoon \n\nKegan Otoole\, Freshman\, Friendswood\nKat Clark\, Freshman\, Canyon\nEmma Morris\, Sophomore\, Sunray\n\nClarinet \n\nShawn Frausto\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nFaith Powell\, Freshman\, Amarillo\nSkylar Jones\, Freshman\, Dalhart\nAshli Sauer\, Senior\, Dumas\nRobby Sanchez\, Sophomore\, Farwell\nAlbert Spencer\, Freshman\, Claude\nJeran Nolen\, Freshman\, Stinnett\nMason Vincent\, Junior\, Brownfield\nKaitlyn Rubinski\, Freshman\, Amarillo\nShelby Easley-McPherson\, Masters\, Odessa\n\nBass Clarinet \n\nZoe Stovall\, Freshman\, Amarillo\nMaddlyn Worley\, Junior\, Amarillo\n\nAlto Saxophone \n\nJosh Carillo\, Senior\, El Paso\nNoah Reneau\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nCoby Mount\, Freshman\, Coahoma\nEmily Shaw\, Freshman\, Tomball\n\nTenor Saxophone \n\nZach Limb\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\n\nBaritone Saxophone \n\nZeke Roberts\, Junior\, Lubbock\n\nTrumpet \n\nMalik Boyd\, Senior\, Amarillo\nCaleb Hesse\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nIan Whitehurst\, Sophomore\, Smithtown\, NY\nNassir Reyes\, Sophomore\, Shallowater\nJordan Bunn\, Freshman\, Tulia\nConnor McClenny\, Freshman\, Amarillo\nAshlyn Vessel\, Senior\, Lampasas\nEmily Henson\, Graduate\, Hereford\n\nHorn \n\nSadie Rivera\, Senior\, St. Augustine\, FL\nChris Santiago\, Freshman\, Odessa\nJenna Gelinas\, Junior\, Roswell\, NM\nNorrin Hodgson\, Sophomore\, Odessa\nEricka Ortiz\, Junior\, Canyon\nLiliana Rivera\, Freshman\, Humble\n\nTenor Trombone \n\nBrayden Hebbel\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nAlec Jung\, Freshman\, Midland\nWilliam Delph\, Senior\, Wasilla\, AK\nNadia Ortega\, Sophomore\, Stratford\nChris Larney\, Freshman\, Tulia\nVictoria Wilkinson\, Junior\, Amarillo\nCaleb Aguilar-Skeen\, Sophomore\, Amarillo\nDominic Mendoza\, Freshman\, Plainview\nPayton Cotton\, Freshman\, Amarillo\n\nBass Trombone \n\nJames Dewey\, Senior\, Amarillo\n\nEuphonium \n\nAnthony NovoGradac\, Sophomore\, Andrews\n\nTuba \n\nJayce Nixon\, Sophomore\, Mansfield\nCamron McGuire\, Freshman\, Claude\nJacob Mills\, Sophomore\, Midland\n\nPercussion \n\nCharlie Romo\, Senior\, Amarillo\nWilliam Conway\, Sophomore\, Panhandle\nCooper Delgado\, Freshman\, Childress\nSteven Hilton\, Junior\, Amarillo\nHayley Hunter\, Sophomore\, Monahans\nBrogan Lichte\, Senior\, Littlefield\nNoah Lopez\, Junior\, Lubbock\nTristan Mouw\, Junior\, Amarillo\nCharles Neal\, Freshman\, Canyon\nAngel Olivas\, Freshman\, Shallowater
