Concert Critique

772 Words4 Pages

The concert on May 5th turned out to be pretty good. The concert turned out to be enjoyable and was a fun time for people to listen to their children either play an instrument or sing. I heard multiple good things about our concert, things such as how cute the elementary kids were and how good the band played. I think we sounded better than other years. This is the best we will sound when compared to the years to come. We have improved quite a bit, however, which did help us for this concert. There were a few hiccups and the concert in general could have ran a little bit more smoothly. It would have been nice to see more pieces from the 5th grade band and 4th grade recorders, if it is possible for next year it might be nice to see a mix of the two groups together. The song and theme choice was a great idea and that should be kept going throughout the next years. The songs were either sung or played pretty well, but out of those songs there were a few really good, and some that were a little bad and could have needed some more work and practice on. First off are the songs that were really …show more content…

From the whole concert band, “Eyes Open” needed more work on. When we got the song in the beginning, we were pretty good at it, but it still needed more work on and more improvement. It did not help that we did not practice it the day before nor the day of the concert. We did not play together on it very well, neither did we stay together. From the high school band, “The Pink Panther” was a little sketchy in a few spots, especially after the solos. We needed to work on the transitioning of the solos more. After Gracen’s solo, it was really hard for the band to know where we were in the piece. If we had worked the transition more than two times in class, we would have done a little better on the song. Overall, these are inputs that can be put in place for next year to make the band

    Before Oak Bridge Community Church moved into their new building they were located in a movie theater. When it came to the sound quality of each service the sound wasn’t at its best per say, nor did it display the talent that was amongst our band. The acoustics in that theater weren’t up to par and made the “concert feel” displeasing. As our church continued to keep growing, God lead our church to a new space to call our home.

    I was relieved second semester when other kids transferred over into chorus, growing our chorus slightly. At the end of the year, we had learned that the chorus was trying to put a group together to go to Disney World at Christmas to sing in the Candle Light Processional at Epcot, so when it came time for school to start again in August, the room was full of new people. Once again we could divide our guy section into tenor and bass and divide the girls into Alto, Soprano II and Soprano I. After sending in an audition video, our chorus was selection to join the mass choir for two performances and to prepare, we learned 15 songs. My junior year, I transferred voice teachers because my old voice teacher was moving away.

    Besides being an opportunity to better myself musically, it taught me a lot of lessons and skills that I still use to this day. Most importantly, I learned how to set and achieve personal goals. Oftentimes I would be presented with a goal and it was up to me to practice and prepare on my own with little to no guidance from my teachers. This was probably the most valuable lesson I learned from band. I tend to see myself as a generally level-headed individual with a good work ethic.

I am not sure how many people were there, I would think somewhere between 40 and 60 people but needless to say the amount of people didn’t really matter. It was a great pleasure to learn about the ASLHS and see the awards given for students who have done fantastic work with ASL. The event really invigorated me and made me want to continue refining me ASL skills after I graduate and become more integrated with the large community here in Seattle. On the final not of all of this, I was enjoying myself so much that I nearly forgot to get a photo of myself.

    The Santa Fe Evening of Jazz was a great concert featuring the Rhythm and Blues, Jazz Combo, and Big Band from Santa Fe College with special guest Professor Scott Wilson from the University of Florida Jazz Studies. This Evening of Jazz was the ninth one to be held and was superbly done; getting a ticket was quick and simple, finding a seat was as easy, and leaving was not hard. The whole performance was led by Doctor Steven Lee Bingham who also played with all the bands on the alto saxophone along with giving information about each band, song, scholarship players, and on Mr. Wilson and his unique instrument called a E.V.I.. The audience had a pleasant feel, everyone was talking and laughing before and after the performance, they also were

    I attended to a concert performed by the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra on November 13th this year. This concert took place in the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. I chose to attend to this concert because I have never been to a performance by any youth orchestra, I was curious to see how their performance would compare to other orchestras. The first of the three piece that were performed in this concert was Maenads’ Dance, from The Bassarids, composed by Hans Werner Henze. A variety of instruments were used in this piece, including woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.
