Ed,

I'm working on programming my senior recital right now and am hoping that I can make it more than than the standard formulaic program we hear all too often.

Some of the things I'm hoping to incorporate are some dancing (not me) and theater and I have some pieces that lend themselves so well to both. So far the instrumentation throughout the recital is really varied, ranging from just solo trumpet; solo trumpet and dancer; trumpet, horn, trombone, and claves; trumpet and piano; a five-piece ensemble with an actor; and even a nine-piece chamber ensemble with conductor. I don't think we utilize these types of pieces enough in student recitals. We have how many instrumentalist friends and how many student conductors available to us who are dying to conduct a public performance?
