Short and Sweet is the title of the next USF Wind Ensemble concert.  It will occur on Thursday, 

March 10, at 7:30 pm in the USF concert hall. The program is populated by shorter, excellent works 

that are often neglected by wind bands for a variety of untenable reasons. Trittico is a three 

movement composition that is packed with excitement and energy. We pay homage to former USF 

Director of Bands, Dr. James E. Croft with a performance of Symphonic Movement, a piece written 

specifically for him. We are also performing a brand new work for band entitled For Those Who Wait, 

which is described as a meditation for wind ensemble.  An exceptionally exciting feature of the 

program is the inclusion of Circus Overture by William Schuman. An active imagination will hear 

 Ladies and Gentlemen!  along with other aspects of a quality circus production. The whole program 

is not long, but long enough to cause you, we hope, to want more. Please put this date on your 

calendar and come to hear our Short and Sweet concert.
