Famed bandmaster Arthur Delamont always started his concerts with a rousing overture, and Front and Center is in this proud tradition. In a non-stop 9/8 rhythm, this piece explodes with energy and effervescence. Full of powerful fanfares, lively melodies, driving percussion and dynamic contrasts, this exciting concert opener moves through different musical colors without ever losing its relentless drive. An exhilarating tour-de-force showcasing all sections of the band! Front and Center is the first movement of A Tribute to Arthur Delamont and was commissioned by the West Vancouver Youth Band.
