Highland 5 Update

Well, Highland 5 is now complete, we are no longer 4. As of Sunday, our new oboist is Brendon Bushman. He is going to join us for our rehearsal on Sunday, and we are really going to do some serious planning for the group. Nicole is going to be working on our website, so check for updates www.highland5.org. We are going to do a photo shoot and record some audio clips so that she has something to work with. We are all big fans of Imani Winds (www.imaniwinds.com), we really like their look and their music. Check out the website, it's very cool. Check this piece out, it is awesome, we hope to play it in the future: http://www.zephyrosquintet.com/ZQ%20sound%20samples/SchifrinSample.MP3
It is called "La Nouvelle Orleans" (we wanted to do it long before Katrina), it's by Lalo Schifrin, the guy that scored Dirty Harry and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Em-
Tried to listen but got a weird web site about encryption and some other math stuff! Imani Winds is very cool and they have been to the Virginia Arts Festival! I want to see you and Audry dressed in those slinky outfits for your photo shoot!!

Anyway, I am glad that the agony of selecting is over and you all are settled in and ready to play and work on some challenging stuff. Sunday afternoons in the Highlands will be lovely for those in your neighborhood within listening distance!
