Beyond Human
Grade 3Jair Klarfeld and Manny Maldonado
Beyond Human is an original composition based in a futuristic setting where the band is not quite man, not quite machine, but is a combination of the two.
The opener starts out with a factory making these man-machines. Drills, machine presses, and factory sounds frame the aggressive, angular music.
The ballad has a moment where humanity reflects on where it has arrived. Is this life of people being half-human, half-machine the new beauty?
The closer tells the listener that in fact, there is no beauty in what mankind has become…

Design by Jarrett Lipman, Darryl Pemberton, and Jodie Rhodes

(copyright permission is required for all previously arranged MJM Works shows)
The Show "Eve" is based on the visual concept of a woman who has is all, but is tempted to turn from what she knows is true, and thus falls from grace.
Part 1 opens with a lavish pre-show set to Cold Play's "Paradise." As our character, Eve, takes the field, the band is enchanted with her beauty and presence. The front ensemble arrangement seamlessly picks up the pre-recorded music, and the show is under way.
Part 2 is a flirtatious dance as Eve strolls around the band, laughing and relishing in all the attention as the band performs and pays tribute to her beauty.
In Part 3, Eve becomes "Lost in Paradise", and is tempted from her beliefs that have kept her poise and beauty in tact. Part 4 starts with 45 seconds of "bonus" music, affectionately entitled "The Serpent." An unsettling ostinato layers into the front ensemble while an oboe soloist tempts Eve away from what she holds as truth. An aggressive band impact occurs (School for Scandal) at the moment Eve realizes her terrible mistake. Fear strikes as she scatters about, but it is too late. She has fallen.

The ARRIVAL
Grade 5James Newton Howard
“The ARRIVAL”
Based on the soundtrack Signs by James Newton Howard, the soundtrack Alien vs. Predator Requiem by Brian Tyler, and the Alien soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.
Part One: The people of Earth realize that “other beings” have arrived. It is not clear, however, what their intentions are. The colorguard, depicted as the visitors, surround and encompass the band throughout the movement.
In Part Two, Earthlings feel that the beings have come in peace, and one even falls in love with a creature. But while a member of the Earthling band is being seduced by the colorguard being, another one is sneaking up behind him, which is heard in the build-up of the orchestration!
Part 3 begins with the breakout of war between the other life-forms (colorguard) and the people of Earth (the band.) While this goes on, the drum line plays their drum feature.
There are TWO options for a closer…
Part 4A: Based off the movie Alien vs. Predator Requiem, this movement has a dark turn that could go either way as to who wins the final outcome.
Part 4B: Based off of David Gillingham’s “Galactic Empire,” this piece starts with a war-like theme, but then quickly goes back to the Signs soundtrack while the chase begins to rid Earth of the Aliens.

Calling on the four winds
North to prowling Bear
West to snarling Panther
East to breathing Moose
South to follow the doe eyed fawn
she began her vision quest seated in a circle on the ground.
Cross legged she waited
stilled her mind
drew her quiet breath
and breathed the mountain air
slowly for the longest time.
Then it came.......
The rising...........
The oneness........
The wholeness.....
and The knowing
spreading through her
like the four winds.
There she stayed......until the morning of the fourth day
when she rose quietly, rolled her rug, and descended through the pines; with the rich earth beneath her feet and the sound of running water at her side.
There are 3 movements. Features are: Duet - Flu/Mllo, Flute solo.

The second half of this segment is a ballad (one can separate and make it an independent movement)and features a flute and mellophone duet. Part 3 Takes the melodies heard and "twists" them into a fugue-like section, followed by a percussion feature, and trumpet solo, and then a full ensemble shout to the end.
