The Members & Staff of the East Pennsboro Area High School
“Panther” Marching Band are proud to present their 2011 program:

Climbing the Alps has captured the imagination of man since humans first inhabited Europe, in folklore, literature, art, film, and song. This year’s production portrays the climb of one such alpine mountain through music and visual imagery.

The adventure begins with mountain peaks rising over the horizon, as the climbing party reaches the base of the mountain during an introduction featuring soloists Trent Deverter, Allison Rakocy, Andrew Petit, and Becky Rhoades. Richard Saucedo’s “Snow Caps” forms the first part of the production as our performers begin the long climb up an alpine peak. Precarious moments soon abound, however, as an avalanche interrupts our ascent.

After barely surviving the avalanche, Barry Milner’s “An Unending Legacy” brings our adventurers to a rest, as we stop to take in the majesty of the mountain at twilight. The adventure comes to a rousing conclusion as our performers race to the summit.

The band wishes to thank all of the parents, volunteers, teachers, and administrators for their continued support.
