TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 The Troy University Symphony Band is composed of what has been called some of the best wind and percussion musicians here at Troy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those musicians’ talents were on display Tuesday during the first symphony band concert of the year, titled Masterworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It all sounded amazing, and it just sounded so much better knowing that they have so much to do on top of this like marching band,” audience member Bryson Grimsley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the audience and the band were extremely pleased with the performance. One audience member told TrojanVision the performance wasn’t just entertainment, it was inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m a music education major so I come to every single one of these concerts and I hope to be in the band one day,” Grimsley explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Man, it was it was so fun,” said principal clarinetist Tyler Shumate. “It was just so fun. I hope the audience enjoyed it in the way that we did but I know that we were just having a blast up there.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grimsley added there was one moment in particular that captured his interest and became a standout moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It would probably be the clarinet solo in that one piece called Black Dog. I thought that was really cool and it just really showed how versatile the instrument is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I really enjoyed soloing, I just love the thrill that it gives me and so whenever I got out there to play Black Dog with all my peers and I had all of the support of my friends and my family and the audience on stage with me it was really something special,” Shumate said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Shumate, the performance was more than just a special moment, but an accomplishment that he will be forever proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is an opportunity that I was given, and I feel like I took good advantage of it tonight. Playing Black Dog with the symphony band was truly something just remarkable for me and I’ll remember that for the rest of my life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
