Concert Band takes “On, Wisconsin!” on the road
I
n May, the WLC Concert Band toured Iowa, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Missouri, performing a program of all-American composers. “Our 2011 spring band tour was a huge success,” said Terry Treuden, director of instrumental music. The band performed magnificently for each of the concerts.” Highlights from the trip included the band touring the new Dallas Cowboys’ stadium (below) where band members were even permitted to kick footballs on the field. While in San Antonio, the group enjoyed a day off. Many visited the city’s famous Riverwalk as well as the Alamo. “This was especially meaningful since one of the selections the band performed on this tour was a new composition by Director Terry Treuden donned a cheesehead at the end of each tour concert for the performance of “On, Wisconsin!”
Frank Ticheli called ‘San Antonio Dances’,” Treuden said. “The first movement is a musical impression of the Alamo Gardens located directly behind the Alamo, and the second movement is a musical impression of the Riverwalk.”

This summer’s series featured nine concert dates between June and August, beginning with a Koiné concert and concluding with the Doo-Wop Daddies. The series is an outreach opportunity for the college. “It brings many people from the Milwaukee area to the WLC campus for the first time,” said Dan Schmal, director of arts programming. “I hear frequent comments about our beautiful campus and what an asset WLC is to the community.”
