2025 Fall Season
- Story of the Brave
Set to the adventurous energy of One Piece and the whimsical romance of Merry-Go-Round of Life, this show tells the story of a daring hero and his fateful encounter with a heroine from a faraway land. The opening movement bursts to life with the spirited music of One Piece, introducing our fearless protagonist as he catches sight of our heroine from afar. The second movement shifts to Merry-Go-Round of Life, where the two share a magical, fleeting moment, highlighted by a flute and clarinet duet by Morgan Yoo and Joseph Sigalov, and a trombone solo by Mathew Fuller. However, the tranquility is shattered by a drum feature with Logan Mather on quads, as villains capture our heroine and whisk her away to a remote island. In the final movement, the hero charges into battle, defeats the captors, and rescues his beloved. Triumphantly, the music returns to the exhilarating One Piece theme, closing the story with joy, victory, and the promise of new adventures ahead.
