- Historical Background:
- Bukvich was approached by Bill Larson to write a comission for the Montana Music Educators Association (MMEA). Larson took Bukvich on a trip south of Great Falls to the Ulm Buffalo Jump Site. In growing up in Montana, Bukvich had heard of these sites throughout his life, but this excursion with Larson was his first time visiting one. Larson and the comissioning board opted for simple percussion that could be performed by any band program in the state of Montana; therefore, no mallet percussion was utilized for this piece. In planning this piece, Larson wanted to get the All State Band to rehearse the piece at the Buffalo Jump site, but "the band world isn't cool enough to figure out how to make that happen," according to Bukvich. Since its original premiere at MMEA 2000, it recieves an estimated hundereds of performances a year.
