About this Piece Am're Ford
I have loved Historically Black College and University (HBCU) bands and their style of marching and playing as far back as I can remember. I particularly enjoy the invigorating energy that bands bring to each performance that compels audiences to move, dance and shake!
Bands often march to the stadium prior to a football game and get situated. If there’s enough time, there’s an exchange of music back and forth between the two bands.This is called the “zero quarter.” Bands can be heard playing warm-ups, chorales, marches or even pop tunes. The zero quarter is a time to get used to how the ensemble sounds in the space, warm-up and size up their competition across the field. Zero Quarter draws inspiration from this event of the same name. You can find chromatic passages, scalar passages, and a number of different articulations that serve as ways to warm up wind bands and also demonstrate the style of HBCU marching bands. |
