Powhatan County, Virginia was named after the great Native-American Chief Powhatan, whose confederacy of tribes once dominated the costal Virginia plain. He is most remembered for being the father of Pocahontas. His people are best known as the Native Americans who helped the Jamestown colonists survive. Several of these original tribes still exist today. The composer was inspired by the essence of this region and the James River which borders the northern portion of the county.

Your band can boldly go where no band has gone before with James L. Hosay's imaginative tone poem SPACE PROBE. Since the 1970s NASA has been launching long-range, solar-powered probes into space. This composition provides excellent opportunities for cross-curriculum teaching with science -- over the past 30 years, the Voyager, Pioneer, and Galileo series probes have sent back incredible photographs. The data sent to Earth by these probes (along with photos and information gathered by the Hubble telescope) has helped astronomers chart the ever-expanding universe all the way back to its origins. A scintillating musical spacescape ushers in a bold thematic statement in the trumpets and alto saxophones; French horns join in thrilling variation. A boundless contrasting espressivo theme soars through to the reprise of the initial ideas. Explore this inspiring work with your band this year.

The mainly unison, easy chorus parts in BATTLE HYMN 2000 mean you CAN prepare James Hosay's imaginative and inspiring version of The Battle Hymn of the Republic for performance, even though opportunities for combined chorus and band rehearsals are hard to find. In fact, the dress rehearsal may be all you need to put on the finishing touches. It makes a spine-tingling finale for a combined choral/band concert (it can also be used as a stand-alone band piece). For a thrilling addition, consider having the chorus surround the audience while the band remains on stage. The surround-sound effect can be magnificent and it gives each member of the chorus a little personal stardom.Don't forget, having one piece at the end of the concert which includes everyone always helps to make sure you maintain a full house for all your performing groups.
