Concert Report
It is a cold November night. I attended a wind ensemble concert which was held at Sophia B. Clarke Theater in MT.SAC by the MT.SAC instrumental music program and lasted for one and half an hour, from 7:30pm to 9:00pm. I bought the concert ticket online and chose the seat in the orchestra. It was my first time to go to a concert and I enjoyed the pieces of the music so much.
I arrived thirty minutes early before the concert starts. There were lots of people waited in front of the door. Some people were waiting on the line in front of the box office to buy the concert tickets. The crowd mainly consisted of college students, but virtually the age of the audience ranged from around 6 to 50. Almost everybody dressed warm and comfortable. Some of them are couple, and some of them are the performers’ parents.
I went to the line and waited in front of the right door. I showed my student ID to the staff who wore the red sweater. She checked my ticket and suggested me to take a guild book. The theater is not very big, but it is very clean. I looked for my seat which is in row B and seat 16. Before I saw my seat, I thought I close the seat which is close the stage. Until I found my seat, I was so surprised that there’re only two meters from the stage. It was so close so that I cannot watch the whole perform group. I felt upset because of this and I told myself to choose a good seat next time. A lady who sat next to me is a performer’s mother. Before the performing started, she took some photos and we had a short talk.
After few minutes later, a clarinetist walked in front of the performing group and play the clarinet to make the low pitch, then the first row followed to make the same pitch, after that the second row followed until the last row finished. They were put in tune. The clarinetist went back to his seat. Then a guy who wore the swallow-tailed coat walked across the stage and bowed to
