Joliet Central H.S. Symphonic Band - 1986-1987 "Mayflower Overture"

[@Loco4Locomotives]

We played this in a Joliet Central concert about 1969 or 1970. This and March of the Steelmen are some of my favorites.

We played this at Chicago Vocational High School in 1974. It was powerful.

This is great. I remember when I played this in high school. My favorite part of the song is a 6:18. Such a great piece of music.
