The Liberty Bell March The Liberty Bell March is a march that was composed by John Philip Sousa and arranged by Jay Bacook. It was performed on Saturday, May 5th by the Arts Academy Charter Middle School at their spring concert in Foy Concert Hall. The March is an exciting and fast piece with many repeated sections that lead into the next section. The AACMS Instrumental Department performed The Liberty Bell March with terrible intonation, incredible Rhythmic accuracy, and mediocre balance. The ensemble’s intonation during the performance of the march was absolutely terrible. The flat notes sounded low throughout the piece. Especially the Ebs at measure 71 until measure 87 where they started sounding more in tune. The Dbs at measure 91 sounded

    On December 16, 1773, 150 American colonists from Boston took a stand for their beliefs and raided three British ships to dump all of their tea in the harbor. The Tea Act was the reason for Boston colonists raiding the ships in what is known as the Boston Tea Party. The destruction of the tea in the Boston Tea Party was a result of several years of the British Parliament controlling the American Colonies. The British Parliament’s negative reaction to the Boston Tea Party created a domino effect that led into the American Revolution. The Boston Tea Party was a planned protest formed to show Britain that they had no right to tax them for their own profit. Several men dressed as Indian Mohawks and took control of the ships. They then broke open

    ...xcited to have this experience. Part of the drama of the concert at first is felt when the musicians come in and sit down and begin tuning up their instruments. I would not be able to comment on the performance of the orchestra. During the performance, I seen the audience were moving with the music, but I felt like that everyone seems knows more music than what I learned throughout this semester. After I went home and did some of the research on these music I finally understand why these people like to attend the orchestra concerto, it was because that every piece of music has a history behind it. The Los Angeles audience seemed to me to be people who know music and who will listen to something new in a respectful way. All the same, when the more familiar sounds of the last piece were heard, I could feel a little sense of relaxation and fun coming into the room.

    A few days before the Stonewall riots I was in the Stonewall Inn having some fun and having some laughs. The police here in New York were always raiding gay bars. Being gay or lesbian in the 1960s was hard. You could be put on a list by the FBI that says you are a sexual pervert or you could be arrested for just holding your partners hand.

    "I was a radical, a revolutionist. I am still a revolutionist … I am glad I was in the Stonewall riot. I remember when someone threw a Molotov cocktail, I thought, 'My god, the revolution is here. The revolution is finally here!'" (Rivera 1). This quote comes from an actual Stonewall riots participant, Sylvia Rivera. Rivera was a transgender activist at the forefront of the gay rights movement along with many other participants of the Stonewall riots. Although the Stonewall riots protest happened almost fifty years ago, its impact and influence on the past gay rights movement, as well as the modern-day gay rights movement, can still be seen today.

    Nat Turner’s rebellion created an atmosphere of fear and paranoia among many Whites and as a result needs recognition as a contributing factor to the outbreak of the Snow Riot in D.C. Although Nat Turner’s revolt happened in 1831, four years on the it’s influence and the atmosphere of paranoia created it by it were still very much present in American and more specifically D.C. This becomes clear when considering the facts of the revolt which began on August 22, 1831, when Nat Turner and some fellow slaves snuck into their master's house and killed him and his family before moving from plantation to plantation doing the same to other White families. While the revolt was put down and the seventy slaves with Turner were either arrested or killed and Turner himself was hung two months after the fact, their revolt caused many White communities to feel great fear and paranoia.

    During the performance I attended, two pieces were performed. The first was a Mozart piece by the name of Symphony No. 41 or Jupiter. The second and final was the Lord Nelson Mass composed by Joseph Haydn. In this concert, the two performances differed greatly unlike the last performance that I went to. The previous one that I attended had music that all sounded very similar to me. That could just be my lack of experience with American music, especially music that was composed hundreds of years ago. This time, there was vocal accompaniment with the second piece which clearly made it much different than the other works that I listened to. The Lord Nelson Mass was one that I enjoyed more and I feel that is because of the choir that performed. Although it is not the type of music that I usually listen to, it is still has some more similarities than the symphony by Mozart.

    The production had many elements which for the most part formed a coalition to further the plot. The characters, the three part scenery and costumes represented well the period of time these people were going through. As far as the performers entering and exiting the stage, it could have been more organized. There were a few times when the performers exited at the wrong times or it seemed so due to the echo of the music. At certain moments the music was slightly loud and drowned the performers. Many of the songs dragged on, so the pacing could have been more effectively executed. Though the music was off at times, the director's decision to have most of the songs performed center sage was a wise one. Also the implementation of actual white characters that were competent in their roles came as a great surprise to the audience and heightened the realism.
