Only 17 more days

Only 17 more days until winter solstice.. and only 11 days until our concert. Just for fun..here we were, practicing our hearts out the other evening.  We flutes have fun with Under the Double Eagle and there is ususally a piccolo with this song too, but our faithful tooting buddy is undergoing chemo for a newly discovered breast cancer , so we made do without her, but will have her back for the concert if we have to carry her in "o) . If you look at our program, you'll see songs with "eagle", "panther", "sea hawk" and  "cowboy"....kind of a football Christmas concert.  We've had  a "rhapsody" concert, a "waltz" concert,  "march" concert in March, and now a football concert because...well...I guess because it's football season.....and of course because it is the Christmas season, we do have two interesting pieces, one of which is this.
Again...my favorite is Haydn's 82nd symphony.  lalalalalalallal
