Their selections begin with \u201cLinus and Lucy\u201d of \u201cA Charlie Brown Christmas\u201d fame and continue with Santana\u2019s \u201cOye Como Va.\u201d The audience will be encouraged to join in with \u201cSweet Caroline,\u201d a baseball favorite and then onto \u201cAin\u2019t No Mountain High Enough\u201d made famous by Ashford and Simpson.

We welcome students of every musical ability level to join the band program. We even encourage professors at The W to join us, as you will see on November 9th. Each person brings their own viewpoint and contribution to our bands. The musicians connect through the mutual goal of performance. The recent quarantine taught all of us that we need music, even more than before. We are honored and excited that we can present live music again for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mortyakova said, \u201cWe are excited for the inaugural concert of our Wind Ensemble and I am honored to share the stage with them in their debut performance!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">W Jazz Ensemble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Linus and Lucy<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <em>V.
