The first selection, Generique, was written by Thibault. The piece started with Thibault entering alone, followed in short order by the trombone, now a slow duet. The French horn entered shortly thereafter, with the final entrance by the trumpet. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, was introduced with a sense of humor that captivated the audience and did little to foretell the serious skill required of the arrangement. One wondered if there were two quartets playing, the sound being so rich and full and the articulation clean and precise. The entire group matched the almost effortless high register work of Pulcini in power and stamina. The dynamic range of the group on this piece filled the large recital hall with an intensity and energy that few can sustain without lapses in intonation. The concluding chord in the low register was as full and robust as anyone could demand of the instruments or players.

Switching from a well-known classical work to a jazz piece presented no difficulty for this versatile ensemble. I Remember Clifford (Benny Golson) featured trombonist Flahou, along with Pulcini on flugelhorn. The sharing of lead parts among all four players throughout the arrangement was especially engaging. Three Tangos, three short dance numbers by Astor Pizzola, had Thibault busy keeping the tango moving and sensuous with his driving bass lines.

After the tangos, tubist Thibault adopted the role of humorous emcee for the ensemble as he took over the lead part in Fritz Kreisler's Liebes Lied, having reminded everyone that the piece was meant for violin although he intended to play a brass instrument anyway. This rendition would make an excellent example for student tuba players regarding the delicacy the instrument is capable of sustaining. The blend of instruments did not overpower or hide the luxurious big sound he produced.

By far the most humorous and demanding piece was a version of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, with members playing the parts of the Jets and Sharks. The ensemble performed Something's Coming, America, Maria, One Hand, One Heart, Tonight, I Feel Pretty, and Somewhere. The power of the opening symphonic sound was matched throughout this extended seven-part arrangement by a variety of lyrical solos.
