OBA Interlude

OBA Interlude
By Wesley Cheang
Concert Band: Grade 4
Hello band directors! Have you ever been programming for a festival performance and wished you had just one more minute of music to play? I wrote this one minute interlude to help complete the set for the Albert Campbell C.I. Wind Ensemble's performance at the Ontario Band Association Festival 2025. It was fun to try to tell a story with just one minute of music. The beginning utilizes the Dom7#11 sound. The woodwinds and bells play triplets in five note groupings towards the end. I have always found this polyrhythm to be really beautiful. I hope this interlude becomes a useful tool for other band directors in programming for festival performances.
