JaneMarie Erickson, a First Year Undeclared major at Ripon College performed in the spring Symphonic Wind Ensemble on Sunday, April 14. Erickson is from Redgranite, WI and is the child of Mr. Steven L. Erickson and Mrs. Mary Jane Daniels-Erickson .

The Ensemble, under the direction of Kurt Dietrich, showcased a band classic of the season, Alfred Reed's "The Hounds of Spring." Also featured on the program were three slow expressive works, some of the most beautiful in the band literature, of three quite different characters: Alfred Reed's free transcription of J. S. Bach's "My Jesus! Oh, What Anguish," Morton Lauridsen's acclaimed choral piece (transcribed by H. Robert Reynolds) "O Magnum Mysterium" and Samuel Hazo's recent composition "Southern Hymn."

Special post-graduate student Andrew Schulz conducted Steven Reinecke's "Fate of the Gods." Also on the program were Malcolm Arnold's "Prelude, Sicliano and Rondo" and the classic march "Them Bosses," featuring the low brass and wind sections.
