Sands of Time is an original production built around the imagery of sand and the relentless passage of time. Musical motifs of shifting sands and ticking clocks weave throughout the show, creating a soundscape that is both mesmerizing and powerful. Featuring a soprano saxophone soloist and a full saxophone quartet, the ensemble explores energetic and dynamic music that bends and manipulates time in surprising ways. With high general effect moments and striking visual design, Sands of Time takes the audience on a journey through rhythm, motion, and atmosphere, capturing the essence of time slipping away grain by grain.
This show was originally commissioned for the 2025 marching band season.
