Scott Coulson, director of bands at Poteet High School (TMEA 4A Honor Band… whom I wrote about a couple weeks ago) just sent me recordings of the group performing Shadow Rituals at the TMEA convention and at an earlier concert at the Eisemann Center. I wrote Scott back saying that, at some moments, I couldn’t discern Poteet from the ASU Wind Symphony (who premiered the piece). Take a listen:
