    Uplifting and bursting with energy, Blue Sky Horizon is a work that is very personal to the composer. Written on a day when he came out of a long depression episode, Randall Standridge communicates the elation that individuals who live with mental health conditions feel when it is "a good day." Driving motives, catchy rhythms, accessible ranges, and a pops-inspired feel combine to celebrate the moments when we can all find joy. Part of Randall Standridge's The unBroken Project.

    we had 9 percussionists and i had to play woodblocks,wind chimes,triangle,and tambourine by myself so all of the pressure was on me because if a had messed up it throws all of the percussionists off and we would have been strewed.

    Percussionist 1 - Timpani
    Percussionist 2 - Snare, high hat, ride cymbal, wood block
    Percussionist 3 - Crash and Suspended cymbal
    Percussionist 4 - Triangle, tambourine, wind chimes
    Percussionist 5 - Bells
    Percussionist 6&7 - xylophone
    Percussionist 8 - Chimes and marimba
