Program Notes
“Fandango” was commissioned by the Bradley Middle School Band, San Antonio, TX, Karlos Elizondo, director, in memory and honor of Eugene Edward Geimer, Director (1985 – 2009).
Mr. Geimer served as Director of Bands at Bradley Middle School in the North East Independent School District from 1985 to 2009. His concert bands consistently received Sweepstakes and top honors at any festival or competition they entered. Jazz band was Mr. Geimer’s true passion, creating Bradley’s “Jazz University” which continues to this day. This jazz experience produced many incredible jazz bands and musicians. The Bradley community would like to dedicate this amazing Carol Brittin Chambers composition, “FANDANGO,” to the memory and legacy of Mr. Ed Geimer (1938 – 2022).
A Fandango is an exuberant partner dance, originating in Spain and Portugal, which can be sung and danced. It is usually accompanied by castanets, Guitars, and hand-clapping, and it often consists of an introduction followed by “variaciones.”
