The premise is that listeners are usually surprised to hear the variety of sounds composers have titled as marches. When we think of a march, we usually think of music played in parades. This concert demonstrates the many occasions - celebratory and solemn - we use marches. It reminds us of the shared experiences and emotion which music can bring to our lives on these occasions. David's excellent narration and use of orchestral excerpts opens the music up a little further for the students. And twice during the concert the students are enthusiastic participants: they march during the Thunderer March, and clap along to the Radetzky March.
