Description
The name of the piece is a play on words of the term 'altitude sickness'. This indoor show is all about being content with varying elevations of this planet. Perhaps representing a foreign visitor to Earth, the ensemble starts off in the sky and explores, and musically expresses the features of various altitudes including mountains, valleys, and coasts. Built with a challenging set of parts for both battery and front ensemble, a more advanced group is sure to have a fun and memorable experience.
