Golden Knights Marching Band

2023 Program

2023 Fall Season

Cathedral

This show explores the beauty and awe of a Cathedral. After a powerful introduction using music from “Organ Symphony Finale,” by Camille Saint-Saëns, we segue into an arrangement of John Rutter’s, “Gloria.” This uplifting music utilizes section features, multi meter and a glorious, powerful ending. The ballad features an arrangement of Karl Jenkins’, “Benedictus,” which captures the incredible awesome beauty of the massive stained glass throughout the Cathedral. The show concludes with music from Saint-Saëns, “Organ Symphony Finale,”, which gradually builds into a triumphant and glorious ending.
