Program Notes

Welcome to Halloween is a musical theatre piece that consists of five pieces of music and a script that guarantees an exciting performance with your advanced student, or training band. The script for Welcome to Halloween was written by Fiona van Heemstra and Nynke Doets, and the music was composed by Thomas Geerts. The story begins a short introduction about what Halloween is. Eventually the script can be filled in with local events, places and facts that can makes the public feel it was really written for the band.

A Hairy Scary Spider describes a day in the life of a hairy, scary spider. In the beginning you aren’t really sure what you are looking at. Is it a ball of wool or a big shadow? It turns out to be a spider sitting happily in his web. At a certain point while the whole band is watching him carefully, he jumps which leads to an inevitable scream.
