The annual fall instrumental concert, titled “Twilight & Petals,” was held on Nov. 13th and 14th. Concert Band began night one with “The Cave You Fear” by Michael Markowski, conducted by Instrumental Music Director Matthew Distante. This piece was followed by “Dawn by the Salley Gardens,” arranged by Michael Sweeney, which showcased the Concert Band's harmonies. Together, these pieces reflected the concert’s theme of contrasting light and darkness.
