On Thursday, November 15, the Upper School Band performed its annual fall concert.

The band’s impressive setlist followed with “The Light Eternal,” “First Suite in E Flat, Chaconne,” “Go Vikes!” and “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.”

“Go Vikes!” isa new version of Academy’s fight song, which was composed and arranged by junior Simon Iobst, who felt honored to have his first performance of a piece.

Following CA’s band performance, the Central Ohio Brass Band (COBB) played “Candide,” “First Suite in E Flat” and “Zirkus Renz.” Sneeringer is in her fifteenth year as the director of COBB, of which she is a former a player in the trombone section.
