Our show is titled “Welcome to Hawkins” and based in themes from the popular Netflix series Stranger Things. The band presents existing arrangements of The Who’s Baba O’Reilly, the theme from NeverEnding Story with feature players Noah Collins (trumpet) and Will Yost (alto saxophone), Metallica's Master of Puppets with guitar soloists Dominic Kipe, Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill, and Should I Stay or Should I Go from punk rock’s The Clash.

Paige Crawford conducts from the podium to start, Wren Forberger will transition in, and Claire Yost serves as backfield conductor.
