ASB's Grand Finale performance at the 1997 Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic was recorded by Mark Custom Recordings, and we are now able to offer CDs of the concert, at a reduced price!

The performance, variously described as "superb," "great playing," "outstanding," "most enjoyable," and "the musical highlight of the conference," closed out the 51st annual Midwest with a enjoyable mix of recently published and standard concert band works. Among the selections:

• Johan De Meij's exciting new "Continental Overture"
• Mark Camphouse's tribute to the late John Paynter, "Whatsoever Things..."
• James Barnes' lyrical celebration of the late Barbara Buehlmann, "All Pleasant Things"
• Two works featuring guest tuba wizard Patrick Sheridan, "Czardas" and "Estrellita"
• .. and much more!
