Star United members departed
Indianapolis early Saturday morning, assembling at Stevenson High
School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. After a dress rehearsal with the
Illinois Brass Band, the corps traveled North to Racine, Wisconsin
to perform a run through for the Kilties at the conclusion of
their rehearsal.
Sunday offered Star United
another opportunity to rehearse and prepare. The corps also had a
unique opportunity to receive instruction from Stephen Squires,
conductor of the Illinois Brass Band and Professor of Conducting in
the Music Conservatory at Chicago College of Performing Arts,
Roosevelt University.
The joint performance in the afternoon
at Waukegan High School included a full performance of Star
United's competition program for 2009, as well as a performance
of Jari Villanueva's
arrangement of Goin' Home, and a combined performance with
the Illinois Brass Band of Respighi's Appian Way.
