You can find me in the Tenor section (on the right in the picture above.) There are four tenors this semester. We are out numbered by the other sections which forces us to sing a little louder sometimes.
We have been working on a Spanish and English version of “Sway” by Norman Gimbel and Pablo Beltran Ruiz, arranged by Kirby Shaw. Kirby Shaw has brought us cool arrangements in the past. There is some nice dissonance in the last chord (Dm69).
Click here if you want to see some pictures from the last tour. Caution, some pictures may get a little silly.

The LBCC Night Big Band is playing two songs from this album.
-Cool School Dropout By Les Hooper Band on the CD “Out of the Woods”
-Miles Back By Les Hooper Band on the CD “Out of the Woods”.
The bass parts are unpredictable at first. It took time for the song Miles Back to grow on me. Miles Back is a fun bass chart to read.
Does this cover make you think of Mortal Combat the video game?
