collected our finals on, the last week of school of my junior year, it dawned on my class that we were the new seniors. As the new leaders, we had to learn how to handle new situations with difficult underclassmen and how to encourage the band in the best of the difficult times to have them improve their skills to progress the band further and set the bar higher on excellence. In a band, it’s important to lead by example and to have the enthusiasm to bring in the games.
I have had many special experiences while playing in band. Just in this semester alone, our band has played in two concerts and a CMEA festival. Our band has also been privileged to have a session with Mr. Smith. Overall, I would like to say that playing in concert band had been a great and learning experience. To begin with, I am going to talk about what I learned and experienced when Mr. Smith had come to visit. When he had come to visit, I had not expected much. I had expected him to give us a
I recently attended the St. Marys Area School District All District Concert held in the high school’s Carpin Auditorium on May 18, 2017. The concert featured over 200 musicians in grades four through twelve, all coming from the various schools in the district (St. Marys Area School District). Parents, relatives, and fellow students made up the audience of passionate supporters. Therefore, the audience was enthusiastic and quick to applaud every performance. The instruments included typical instruments
Presbyterian Church by The TCU choral union and the University Singers. This was the initial concert for the re-instatement of the TCU choral union which is an open choir with members from Texas Christian University and the Ft. Worth area. The University Singers are a selective ensemble of music majors at TCU. St Stephens church provided a wonderful venue for this event as it made the music sound crisp and vivid. The concert began with 5 pieces by the Choral Union. The First piece was “Cry Out and Shout.”
For my second activity essay, I attended the All-East Women’s Choir concert, held Saturday, November 19th, 2016 in the Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre. This choir is an all-female choir who were participating in the All-East competition in order to be scored on how well they performed their pieces. The Belmont choral music professor Lesley Mann conducted this concert, with Maryville College music professor Christy Lee accompanying. As stated in the playbill, the choir sang a multitude of songs, but
I went to see the Spring Choral Concert at St. Xavier High School on May 10th which also featured a performance from the percussion ensemble. Going into the concert I had no idea what to expect because I had never to been to a musical performance at St. X. One assumption I had going into it was that it was going to be well organized and feature many talented students. I could certainly tell that the performers had put a lot of effort and time into making the performance a success. In general I enjoyed
The final event I attended was the All-East Men’s Choir concert, held Saturday, November 19th, 2016 in the Ronald and Lynda Nutt theatre in the Clayton Center at Maryville College. This was an all-male choir that participated in the All-East choral competition in order to be scored on how well they performed their pieces. The choral music professor Stan McGill conducted this performance, with Webb’s School of Knoxville’s Jean Helbig accompanying. The choir performed six songs during their concert
Though, I knew it wouldn’t be the same as a concert, I still intended it to be similar. To my surprise, it was a completely different atmosphere. Overall, I did enjoy it, but there were a few things I disliked. I wasn’t a fan that the majority of the songs performed by Anthony Lovano’s band had no words. I didn’t like this, because that is my favorite part about the concert; getting to sing along with the band. When only two songs had words, I was confused
MUS 119 Report for the Stony Brook Composers Concert on 2016.11.17 This concert is held by the Stony Brook University music department and is to perform seven pieces of music written by seven student composers. The concert is performed in Recital Hall of Staller Center in Stony Brook University. Since it is a small hall, audiences are very close to the performers. In fact, it is the first time I am this close to the performers and the sound for me is so clear and powerful that seems like floating
My final winter concert has come and gone quicker than I could have possibly imagined. It was certainly one I will never forget because it was my very first time performing in every band and choir group. It was a very stressful night but having it perfectly planned and having help from many of my fellow performers definitely made me feel a lot more at ease. This concert definitely had it’s ups and downs and there are somethings that I wish went a lot better. However in the end, I did enjoyed performing
best friend, Nessa brought up the idea of going to a K-Pop concert was ‘what am I getting myself into?” I’ve always enjoyed going to concerts, but I’ve never attended one that was dominantly in a foreign language. The tickets were for a South Korean boy group named B.A.P. which is short for “Best. Absolute. Perfect.” On Friday, April 14th, 2017, I ended up attending the concert in Dallas, Texas as part of B.A.P’s fourth world tour. The concert had a pleasurable atmosphere, was organized, and eye catching
various tournaments including the Olympics in 2012. Other sports that are accommodated inside Wembley are American Football, Rugby and horseracing as well. Besides sports, Wembley has also hosted music concerts from the likes of Muse, Madonna and U2. People always say when you are going to witness a concert or a match in Wembley Stadium, then the walk that you have to take from the bridge to the stadium seeing the lovely view is God’s gift to the people of England. You can see the reaction on the television
I enjoyed the dance concert; from the thirteen dance performances was the After Part, Eternal Pointe Dreams, and Shifting Perceptions. I actually enjoyed all of the dance performances nbut the main ones that captured my attention were those three dance performances. Today when I went to the dance concert I arrived early to get great front row seats and get a pamflit to gather enough information as possible. I was still not exactly sure what to expect given the fact that the first dance performances
no respond from any of the member over the state fair ground. This information reach him about 8:45 and they still could not cancel the concert. Now, about 8:50 the band started to warm up so the concert could start. Furthermore, by this time the Captain Weaver the state police finally persuade Hoye to cancel the concert, be for they could announce that the concert cancel it was to late. The stage collapse at 8:46, Weaver even talk with Hoye about a evacuation plan before this incident occur. Nevertheless
performance venue. But, to get there, you need to prepare to ensure that your music doesn’t play to an empty concert hall. Composers that put on their own recitals can increase exposure for their music, but they must also learn to wear several hats during the process. Invitations must be sent, posters must be hung, and refreshments must be provided. If you can survive the ordeal of putting on your own concert, a captive, intent, and engaged audience can listen to and become familiar with your music compositions
Williams, Benny Carter, and Léo Delibes. The concert was held at the Mundelein Auditorium which is a spacious concert hall with ornate stained-glass windows. In other words, the environment where the concert was held was impressive and designed to allow the music to reach the audience with a full, rich, natural sound. The first group to perform was the Loyola Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Colin Holman. The first piece of the concert
For this fieldwork project, I attended the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra’s concert on Sunday, April 8th at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Mahtomadi, Minnesota. In all honesty, I did not conduct very much research before the concert. I made the decision to attend the concert the Thursday before (very last minute) and ran out of time to do a large amount of in-depth research about the musicians and the pieces they were to perform. I did, however, get a little information from the website I purchased
I figured he’d have the concert during ROAR. Yes. We would be playing in the Tiger Den, exposed to the lunch room, crowded, eye level with everyone and lit up with that ugly fluorescent light. I wanted it to be in the auditorium. Reserved and all the attention on the band and on a separate day. ROAR was all about introducing every club, sport, and organization, whatever to the upcoming freshmen; which was why I was mad. While the band was playing everyone else would be obnoxious, loud, and gushing
First Opera On November 10, 2016, I attended a concert at Washburn. The concert I attended was located at White Concert Hall. It consisted of a baritone opera singer from California state University, a soprano singer, and a piano player. Dr. Anthony Radford was the name of the guest baritone singer from California. The soprano singers name was Dr. Andrea Gibson. Lastly the solo piano player’s name was Patricia Gibson. Both opera singers took turns coming on and off the stage to perform their music
may be a grandiose and awe-inspiring natural landmark, which can be heard in the powerful brass phrases at fortissimo. Overall, the piece depicts a magnificent mountain in a variety of contexts, and serves as the concluding work for the Alabama Concert Band performance on November 6,
