Preston Scout House Alumni Band
Preston, Ontario (Canada)
2010 Program
Parade, concert and field show crowd favourites include many popular Scout House selections from the past including “The Waterloo Fanfare”, “The Standard of St. George / Defile March”, “Waltzing Matilda” complete with a ringing Glockenspiel introduction, “Oklahoma”, “The Maple Leaf Forever”, “Wish Me Luck” and “The Wayward Wind”. The latin-rhythm production number ”Brazil” (key in on the drumline) has been a featured piece as well in recent years.
For 2010, Blue Coats Dave MacKinnon has arranged for the Band a new, up-tempo concert presentation of the classic swing tune, Benny Goodman’s “Sing, Sing, Sing”.
A crowd-pleasing highlight at every Preston Scout House Alumni Band performance is a slick percussion solo that showcases the adept stick work and showmanship of the Band’s talented drumline – swinging tenor drummers included.
