There were so many reasons to love the Eaux Claires Music Festival: the weather, the location, the open fields filled with smiling people. It was a music festival created by musicians, the lineup was great, the cost was low, the overall setup was smart, the sound was crisp, the visual effects were tremendous and loads of love was reciprocated between artists to festival goers all weekend. It was well planned for the most part, well attended (22,000+) and greatly enjoyed by all. It’s cliché to say, but Eaux Claires was about the people and the music. No salesy BS, no corporate agenda—the closest thing to corporate at the festival was Eau Claire based catering company, KP Katering Enterprises. The two-day music festival was an intimate event, …show more content…
The first band I saw that has such clout was Spoon and they played the big stage (Lake Eaux Lune) on Friday at 6:45 PM. Dating all the way back to when “Everything Hits at Once” was a staple on mixed tapes, everybody knew that Britt Daniel was a cool cat. And he still is. The set was fun and it was typical Spoon rock and roll. They played hits like “The Way We Get By,” “Do You,” “Don’t You Evah,” and a less expected track off of Girls Can Tell, “Take a Walk.” They were the only prototypical rock band at Eaux Claires—I wouldn’t mind seeing more Spoon-like bands next …show more content…
You know the one. It’s the scene where Terence Mann tells Ray Kinsella that if he builds it, people will come. Can you hear James Earl Jones’ voice right now? He said, “People will come, Ray… And memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces…. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.” With ample and talented assistance, Justin Vernon built it, people came, and for many it was a field of dreams. The moments were great, the memories are thick and I 'll see you all next summer in Eau Claire,
While in Indiana, members Matt Taylor, Robyn Langdon, Cooper Hagaman, Noah Watson, Sadie Lapointe, Lisandra Mejia, Max Hagaman and advisor Olivia Haigler attended the expo along with multiple farms throughout Indiana. The farms included Poe Hampshire 's
For the observational aspect in the assignment, I attended the Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay, GA, an annual celebration that takes place for two weekends in October for over 45 years now. Hundreds of vendors set up at the Lion's Club Fairgrounds to sell arts, crafts, and food for all in attendance; for the children there are plenty of activities including a rock-climbing wall, a bungee zipline, and a train that rides around the entire festival. Other events held during these two weeks in Ellijay include an Apple Festival Parade, an Apple Classic Auto Show, an Apple Pie Recipe Contest, and an Apple Queen Pageant. I attended on the last Saturday of the Festival and there were still plenty of people in attendance. As we walked from the
On December 7, the Monticello High School mixed and concert choirs presented a choral program called “An Olde Tyme Radio Choral Concert” in the high school auditorium. It was directed by Mr. Brett Kniess, and Janice Vetter was the pianist. The songs were chosen to put the audience in the holiday spirit, and in my opinion, it accomplished this goal. The first five songs were sung by a mixed choir of freshman and sophomores.
lead guitar, Mark St. John, lead guitar, and Bruce Kulick, Lead guitar. (KISS
The band started out of thin air because Johnny brought up the idea to Harry, and he was all for it. They found a drummer named Richie and then got a quiet kid named Dave to play the bass. But eventually, Dave randomly decided to ghost his friends because the pressure of going on tour was too much for him. Then they held tryouts for a new bass guitarist, and that’s how they found Cheyenne. Right after finding her, they started booking gigs from all over town and then started booking concerts all over the east coast.
No one played music like Chicago, the huge horn section was one of a kind. Four guys in Chicago worked hard to become famous, and had an interesting impact on music. Chicago had added a horn section in their band, had won a Grammy and many other accomplishments, and they were also inducted into the hall of fame making them one of the best bands of the 20th century. Many people in the band Chicago had different ways that got them into music. In the beginning childhood of Walter parazaider, he got interested in music because his dad played the trumpet.
"Who are those other people walking out the gate with the Lone Ranger?" "We'll meet them later." "But what happens to Adam?" "Who cares. " This happens at the end of the first creation story, when First Woman walks out of the prison having assumed the identity of the Lone Ranger, and meets up with the other elderly Indians.
The Beach Boys were a first in 1985, another popular appearance was Ted Nugent in 1986.

The Rogues’ Hollow Festival has been creating memories for 23 years, though its history traces further back, Galehouse said. The village had a homecoming event for years. Three service organizations were involved. But, over time, only one of the groups remained, and it was difficult to organize and operate the festival.
From 2001 to today, Fall Out Boy has become one of the iconic teenage boy-bands. If you were to start playing it in a room full of females, there’s a 80% chance someone would start screaming. The legacy began in Illinois as a hard-core rock band, where Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, and Joe Trohman (they went through a series of drummers before deciding on Andy Hurley) stood in Joe’s garage fishing for old, battered instruments. There they created their first album, Take This to Your Grave. Next, they produced From Under the Cork Tree, Infinity on High, and the flop of Folie a Deux, before they went on hiatus just to come back three years later and create Save Rock and Roll.
The Chicago Auto-Show probably the biggest auto-show in the state of Illinois. Really nothing special about it. Waking up at 4 a.m. in the middle of February to drive in a car for hours to look at other cars causing you to accomplish nothing useful in a day. Usually on the ride I look over my brother’s shoulder toward my cousin Drake’s Iphone. It’s not all bad though.
I chose the movie Cesar Chavez because is about an labor organizer and activist man of the civil rights. Scene ---In 1965 many grape farm workers march 300 miles from Delano, California to Sacramento. Demanding labor rights for farm workers and increasing their wages and to improve their work place conditions. Mexicans and Philippine’s got united and they strike for five years until they got to sing a contract were The scene that I choose is when growers were telling the workers in the vine yards that anyone that follow the strike will stop working there and they were not going to be higher from anybody else and workers were really afraid to strike against the growers.
A person’s hobbies say a lot about them as an individual. It is a universal truth that the people you surround yourself with have a major impact in shaping who you are, and the people that coincide with your interests can either change your life for better or for worse. For the past six years of my life, I have been a part of the fine arts community through band. Being a part of the band program has shaped who I am today as a person in many ways. It is in all parts my identity, interest, and talent, and in three to four months out of the year, it is my life.
Glastonbury Festival opened in 1970 the day after the death of Jimi Hendrix on 19th September, the festival was held by Michael Eavis on his land Worthy Farm, Pilton in Somerset. The small scale festival accommodated for 1,500 people with a £1 entrance fee and offered free milk to all the festival goers! When you compare these figures to the current day Glastonbury’s attendance figures and ticket prices you can recognise the huge development the festival has undergone in the past 45 years. The festival is now legendary, recognised all over the world, its tickets are some of the most sought after - which explains the record breaking 30 minute sell out time. Michael Eavis’ reasoning behind why he created and started the festival is down to inspiration, he had attended the Blues festival at the Bath & West Showground which obviously sparked an idea in his mind to create his own event for the public to
Introduction Roger’s and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is arguably one of the most well known films that many can admit to watching at least once in their lifetime. People all around the world have found this musical inspiring, as it documents growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II. This incredibly well written film is based on the story of the Von Trapp family who escaped Austria when the Nazis invaded it during the war. Part of what made this movie so interesting on so many different accounts was the music that accompanied the vivid and exciting scenes. Without music, many could agree that our world would be a sad, quiet, dull and depressing place.
