LISTEN TO THIS!

"LISTEN TO THIS" is a weekly feature in our newsletter where I challenge each member of the band to listen to some great music. This week is the third in new series that will go through all of February, where we feature African American composers in honor of Black History Month. This week's selection is a piece by composer Quincy Hilliard. You may remember Dr. Hilliard if you were in the SCHS Band last year; we played one of his pieces. This is another of his works, entitled Africata.
