Bull
City Fanfare was composed
for my friend Thomas
Shaffer and the Durham
Community Concert Band.
It is an exciting opener
(or closer) that is
easily accessible to most
young high school bands.
Bull City is the nickname
for Durham, North
Carolina as you may
remember from the
baseball movie, Bull
Durham. The city was
given that moniker in the
late 1800s when the
Blackwell Tobacco Company
named its product
“Bull†Durham
Tobacco. Tobacco was king
in Durham for quite
awhile. The Durham
Community Concert Band
has been operating for
forty years. It is a
great organization and
flourishes with well over
100 members of all
ages.This piece should be
played with a steady
tempo throughout, ideally
at the indicated
metronome marking of 144.
Any dragging of tempo
will result in the piece
losing its energy. The
tambourine part may be
played with two hands or
sticks if necessary with
the instrument on a table
or snare drum, and the
conga part should be very
prominent.Exaggerate the
dynamics: play the pianos
soft and pay attention to
marked crescendos. But
this piece is not for the
timid: play the fortes
and fortissimos with
gusto. Have fun!
