Arranger: Bradley Sampson
Among the Clouds by Brian Balmages
Cloudburst by Eric Whitacre
Dance in the Rain opens with a torrential rainstorm, with the band members scurrying about trying to avoid getting wet. In the lush ballad, the rain finally lets up, but it returns again as we move to the final movement. A single piece of narration signals a change of attitude: "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain." The show ends with the rain pouring, but in a joyous celebration.
