Bands or orchestra in the world

[tlmom]

My DS has asked me to find out if there are any places to see bands or ochestras play during out trip (week after Thanksgiving). He plays the trumpet! The only one I know of is at the Candelight Processional. Are there any other places? Maybe Downtown?

Well, you have various performers on Main Street during the day, and you also have the Disney Marching Band preceding the parade in the afternoon as well. Other than that, there is nothing else that I can recall involving band/orchestra instrument sections.

My DS also plays the trumpet. Last time he went with me, he had to practice every day, so you could have heard him play on our porch at BWV Other than that, the only place that I can think of off-hand is the Mariachi Band at the Mexico Pavillion at Epcot. I talked to a trumpet player there. Unfortunately, I can list a number of bands that USED to perform, but don't anymore-Future Corps, Main Street Marching Band, Future World Brass, Tomorrowland Countdown. But Tomorrowland Countdown isn't officially gone, ask at MK CIty Hall-they're very good if you can see them. If DS is college aged, he might consider trying out for the Disney All American Band that plays in the summer. Check www.disneycareers.com for info.

Go to the GF in the afternoon. They have a society orchestra that plays there. They alternate throughout the afternoon with the pianist. I'm not sure which afternoons they do not perform. I'm sure you could call the resort and they would tell you their schedule.

The Jammitors perform at Epcot ... they're a percussion group that uses trash cans in place of drums. I believe some or all of the members have some DCI experience. (If you watch them, you can tell there's a lot of drum-line influence in their playing style)

I will have to check out GF in the afternoon. Thanks for the help.
