\u201cThis year\u2019s concert features music by some of my favorite classical composers, including Maurice Ravel, Carl Orff, Astor Piazzolla, Dmitri Shostakovich and Igor Stravinsky,\u201d said David Steinquest, professor of percussion at Austin Peay State University. \u201cThere are also great classic tunes like Danny Elfman\u2019s \u2018Wednesday Main & End Titles,\u2019 the Cramps\u2019 \u2018Goo Goo Muck,\u2019 Philip Glass\u2019 \u2018The Illusionist,\u2019 Metallica\u2019s \u2018Enter Sandman\u2019 and John Williams\u2019 \u2018Flying Theme from ET (The Extra-Terrestrial).\u201d<\/p>\n

Longtime Halloween Concert attendees also know to expect the unexpected, and Steinquest has plenty of fun musical surprises in store.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re playing \u2018Onslaught,\u2019 a rocking percussion ensemble by Cy Miessler, and a novelty piece called \u2018Everything Considered (Up to the Kitchen Sink) that uses every \u2018instrument\u2019 imaginable,\u201d he said. \u201cAs usual, the ensemble will dress in costume, the hall will be festively decorated, there will be special lighting effects, and the Mass Communication Department will provide live feed video on the back screen, giving the event an exciting rock concert vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n

As usual, Steinquest\u2019s own costume is a closely held state secret \u2013 but the talent represented across the lineup of guest performers is no mystery.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s concert will feature Meghan Berindean (cello), Jan Corrothers (keyboard), Emily Hanna Crane (violin), Sara Crigger (soprano), Claire Davis (harp), Samantha Donnell (piccolo), Spencer Prewitt (bass clarinet), Lukas Rowlett (guitar), Tony Serrano (bass), Kristen Sienkiewicz (horn), Rob Waugh (trumpet), Stanley Yates (guitar), Chris Crockarell (vocals) and a special appearance from the Governor\u2019s Own Marching Band. <\/p>\n
