News and Opinion from Sisters, Oregon
When Sue Steiger takes the podium at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 9, at Sisters High School to conduct the Cascade Horizon Band, the audience will see a musician of many talents: Conducting, teaching, and performance.
The audience on Saturday will be treated to a concert that includes complex numbers such as "Les Miserables"; "Victory at Sea"; "1812 Overture"; "Stars and Stripes Forever"; plus other marches, motion-picture tunes; swing; Irving Berlin numbers and a classic "Tuba Tiger Rag."
Steiger has led the Cascade Horizon Band since its inception in January 2003 and has brought the band to Sisters several times. This year she comes to Sisters daily - to direct the band program at Sisters High School and Sisters Middle School.
She brings the same passion, knowledge and experience to teaching the adults ranging in age from the 50s into the 80s that she does her younger charges. Steiger likes to say of Cascade Horizon Band members that "only the bodies are bigger.
All Cascade Horizon Band concerts are free to the public. Donations are accepted.
