"Three Intradas for Band" is a collection of very useful "openers" for your band concerts. Each of the three Intradas (while having the same format) has a different musical twist. The general scan on each is as follows: Drums start a soft cadence, crescendoing into the first fanfare statement (generally brass) followed by another soft drum cadence - over which YOUR ANNOUNCER would say something similar to, "Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the XYZ School/College/Community Band!" - another drum crescendo to a second fanfare statement - and then soft drum cadence under the 2nd annoucement, "Conducted by (your conductor's name here)!" - a third fanfare statement (this time adding woodwinds) tags off the opening. Then a subdued martial melody underpins the announcer's overview of the concert, solists and the pieces to be played (about 30 to 40 seconds). After the ensemble plays a slow reprise of the opening statements (embellished by woodwinds and percussion) the themes reach their final statement - followed by a soft timpani roll over which the announcer introduces the first work on the concert. You then segue into your next piece.

These Intradas truly add a touch of class and professionalism to your concert opening. And since you get three different Intradas you can alternate between them - or pick a favorite one of the three to use. These have all been performed and received an enthusiatic response from the audiences!
