"I'm Still Standing" by Elton John & Bernie Taupin, arr. Matt Conway & Jack Holt, conducted by Johanna Anderson, performed on 10/4/26.

This 1983 hit for Elton John is from his Too Low for Zero album. Its popularity was boosted by an MTV video, and was a hit in both the U.S. and the U.K. While the lyrics were generally interpreted as being a statement of John’s resilience, Taupin actually penned it as a “so there!” statement to an ex-girlfriend. Elton John is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 300 million records sold. His awards include five Grammys, two Academy Awards, a Primetime Emmy, a Tony, two Golden Globes, a Laurence Olivier award and Kennedy Center Honors.

Pop and Rock Legends: Chicago arr. John Wasson, conducted by Johanna Anderson, performed on 10/4/26.

Formed in 1967 in – you guessed it – Chicago, Illinois, the band’s blend of rock music includes the usual guitars and percussion, but also woodwinds and brass typically associated with other genres. Their songs often combine elements of jazz, rhythm & blues, and classical music with pop rhythms and lyrics. This 2000 concert band arrangement, which includes some of Chicago’s biggest hits, Make Me Smile, Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?, Saturday In The Park, and 25 or 6 to 4, is a lineup that will be recognized by anyone who was breathing in the 1970s.

It includes Rock and Roll, Immigrant Song, Black Dog, Kashmir, and Stairway to Heaven.
