"Race Across the Sahara"

The 2009 edition of the Erie All-City Marching Band will perform a show based on Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade in 2009. The show's music will be a soundtrack to a depiction of the famous Race Across the Sahara, which is an annual event in Africa.

The music from Scheherazade is a great way to feature the talents of our hornline, pit ensemble and drumline sections while putting much of the spotlight on the colorguard. Playing a classical program is no easy feat, but through planning and rehearsal, the show will be exciting and fun to play!

Sheet music is being posted via the "Resources" page on the website, and a good litmus test as to what the show will sound like can be found at this link:
