Description

Contemplate the human condition as great thinkers throughout history have done. This marching band show’s dark music depicting unhappiness and suffering seems to examine “The Pursuit of Happiness” in the same way. But can we choose to be happy? Beethoven’s “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” gives us a glimpse that we can. Movement two reconciles darkness and suffering with light and happiness. Life is fragile and can change quickly; unhappiness constantly tries to overwhelm us. Your performers will delve into the reflective notion that despite unhappiness being widespread, happiness is universal and a path to personal joy exists. In the final movement, an uplifting message of change and satisfaction resonates with Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” This marching band music by Joshua V. Hinkel is for the rising and developing ensemble. Audiences will be moved by these introspective and inspirational arrangements.
