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 C. (trumpet) and Will Y. (alto saxophone), Metallica's Master of Puppets with guitar soloist Dominic K., Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill, and Should I Stay or Should I Go from punk rock’s The Clash.
