Circuitry

Originally commissioned in 2012 by the BOA St. Louis Super Regional Finalist
Eden Prairie High School (Minnesota)

    "Circuitry begins with an ominous sample mimicking live electrical wires. Multiple instrumental groups add voicing
    to this effect to create a strong cohesive statement by the full ensemble. A fast paced musical lead is passed from
    one voice to another creating a frenzied feel with those same underlying ominous tones coming back to haunt,
    finally culminating in an electrical crashing of all circuits. The ballad gives the audience the impression of a "reboot".
    Synthesized electricity noises help keep the dark feeling of the first movement while front ensemble and woodwinds
    fight to get the system back up and running with their lighter tones. The third movement boots the program back
    online and introduces a techno influenced drum solo, clearing the stage for the closer. A regal opening from the winds
    gives way to dissonant tones and then builds the suspense again with power chords. Interlaced within the build are
    the electricity misfire sound effects previously heard. The ending embodies a great use of drastic volume changes
    and builds into sudden silence giving the band a challenging and skillful opportunity for a show stopper.
