Talent Show
At first I was hesitant to go to a school talent show, due to the assumption of lack of talent. Even though some acts were a little shaky here and there, overall it was a excellent concert. I saw an array of acts ranging from Witney Houston to rap artists, and even dancing. Especially at the end when there was a dance battle between two groups, while the judges were deciding the winner. With a grand prize of 25$ I was surprised there were so many acts of quality. This was a great experience and I plan to go next year.At first I was hesitant to go to a school talent show, due to the assumption of lack of talent.

    The area the performance did fall short was the performers did not seem engaged in the music and were just going through the motions. In-between a few selections, performers would switch seats, which I felt broke up the performance. Also between the two sections, the performers exited the stage, which I felt was awkward because you could hear the performers talking behind the stage. However, both conductors were fluid with their motions and bowed between each selection to mark the completion of one selection and the beginning of another.…

    Although I am beginning to appreciate classical music more, I personally enjoy music with words more than music without words. When songs have words I pay more attention trying to figure what the storyline is behind the song. I am very into music all genres such as, pop, country, rock, reggae, and so on. I am open to listening to anything new, which is why I enjoy going to different music events such as this block party. Overall, I enjoyed this performance very much and I am glad I got to see such a great band perform for free, thanks to Utica College. I wish I could have listened to more but I am glad I got to hear a few musical selections before the event was…

    Zydeco Music

    When deciding on a music concert for this course, World Music 327, there were five different choices for me to choose from. It was required to attend a concert musical performance of world or ethnic music. The music selected for the purpose of the concert had to be from music I would not normally focus on or attend a performance in that particular style of music. It was definitely outside of the box or my comfort zone, which I am glad I attended. For me, I decided based on location due to the fact that I wanted to take my entire family for a nice day out, and enjoy some ethnic music that we have never experienced. With this in mind, and not knowing what I had in store for me, I decided to attend the concert on July 29, 2012 at La Jolla Cove to watch and observe Theo & the Zydeco Patrol. This concert was scheduled to play from 2 to 4 pm, but went till approximately 4:15pm, with an intermission at the middle of the concert at 3, that lasted 15 minutes. The concert was part of the 29th Annual Summer Concert Series 2012, and was named “La Jolla Concerts by the Sea”. All concerts for these particular series are free of charge to the public and are family oriented, due to the fact the location of the concert was right next to the beach and provided entertainment for the family. For this particular band this week’s concert was sponsored by Cymer, Incorporated.…

    My schoolmates may not know me by name, but they can tell something about the guy who is damn good at singing musicals. After he finished singing on the stage, the principal jumped to his feet clapping hands. Parents watching online hurriedly posted messages of praise, eager to find out whose kid the singer was. I, proud but not vain, had been accustomed to such reactions. For me, loving and practicing musicals has been a long, inspiring journey; it means much: a talent, a hobby, a way to relax, and even a label!…

    Music Appreciation

    A few weeks ago I attended a recital/concert in the UMHB auditorium performed by the Waco orchestra (I think that’s who it was). At first when I got there, I wasn’t paying attention because I was bored and knew I was only there to get my fine arts experience credit. After about two songs, I remembered that I was in Music Appreciation and some of the songs they were playing, I heard in class before. I began to tune into to certain instruments and listen to their unique sound and what significant part they played in the song. I also began to realize that I was catching on to some of the patterns in the melody, for example ABBABBA. If I had never been in the music appreciation class I wouldn’t have done any of those things, but it’s just ironic that when you take a class like this, you find yourself paying attention to certain things in music that you never would have found yourself doing prior to the fact. One thing that really interested me was that in one song, a woman who was playing the trumpet had her own solo part. For one, I honestly didn’t expect her to be playing a trumpet, as bad as that sounds. Secondly, I didn’t expect her to be as good as she was. I was in shock at some of the notes she was hitting, and I admit that I was pretty impressed. I played the trombone in middle school so of course I had to watch the trombone players while reminiscing that I used to be the one up there doing that, I was pretty good. After not playing for so long, I forgot the notes and the certain places you slide the horn to make a certain note. Sometimes I wish that I could still play because I believe that being able to play an instrument is a beautiful talent. I would definitely go to another musical now because it’s fun when you’re there to listen and admire, instead of just being there because you have to. When you’re actually involved with the concert, it makes being there a lot more fun and makes you appreciate the work and practice that was done to…

    Charles Van Doren has a life that many people would be envious of. He is a member of one of the country's most intellectual and well respected families. His uncle, Carl, is a noted historian and his father, Mark, is a distinguished professor at Columbia University as well as Pulitzer-prize winning poet. Even his mother, Dorothy, is a well known author with several highly recognized pieces of literature. Charles is following in his father's footsteps as he works as an instructor at Columbia preparing to take over for his father once he retires. Unfortunately for Van Doren, he feels that he lacks an identity in this family of overachievers. At this point in his life, he believes that he should have accomplished enough that people don't have to refer to him as "the son" but rather address him by his name. Clearly Van Doren doesn't realize how fortunate he is and that compared to nearly all the men in America, he is still more of a success than any of them will ever be. This insecurity and tragic flaw will ultimately lead to his demise over the course of the film. The question becomes not whether or not this tragic hero will do anything to gain the spotlight that his relatives have gained but rather to what extent will he be willing to compromise his values in the process.…

    I enjoy and listen to variety of music from classical music to rap music. I have attended many concerts, mostly symphony bands concerts. I have attended many of my sisters’ honor band concerts. However, interestingly, through whole my life, I have never experienced jazz music and I have never been to jazz concert. This was my first time attending a Jazz concert. Therefore, I didn’t know what kind of music to expect or any music that I was familiar to. This concert was a new experience for me. It was far different from a Hip Hop concert held in some big venue. The purpose of this concert was to show the talent of the future musicians in the art community of Lone Star College: North Harris Campus. Therefore, it was hard for me to decide which jazz concerts would give me most pleasure and exciting experience. I researched for jazz concerts listing and I decided to go to the concert they had at North Harris in April 27, 2015. One of the reason I went to this concert was, that it was in campus, it was free, and my Music Appreciation teacher mention it in class.…

    Jazz Concert Review

    The concert I chose to attend was the University Jazz Bands’ Student Ensemble Concert on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. The concert featured two ensembles, both the Virginia Tech Jazz Ensemble and the Jazz Lab Band. At this concert, I was both a perceptive listener due to my knowledge of music and music performance, and a casual listener enjoying my friends performing a great concert. I enjoy my nature of listening because I can appreciate the music on many different levels, and get much more out of the performances than the casual listener. The concert was entirely jazz music, performing hits by Tommy Wolf, Duke Ellington, Mike Tomaro, and on. The ensembles varied in exact composition, but both contained: alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones; trumpets and trombones; drums, bass, piano, and guitar. A performer of every instrument had a solo and one point or another in the various songs, which provided not only a great chance to hear individual musician’s talents, but also a great opportunity to hear how the instrument itself can be used in jazz improvisation and how styles vary from instrument to instrument due to the nature of playing/performing them.…

    We had been setting up the stage and the audio all week but on the first day of the concert we starting setting up chairs around 3:00 because the doors opened up at 4:30. The stadium started to get full and all of the ground seats were taken. I could see cameras and local radio personalities such as Melissa “Wade in the Water” and Jerry Smith of 103.9 The Light and I'm not a shy person so I definitely introduced myself. They were so nice and Ms. Wade even let me walk around with her for a while while she met with different entertainers for the night. What was different about this is that is wasn't just the big named gospel singers that were performing but there were church groups and small choirs and this one mime team that caught my attention in particular called Face 2 Face. I gravitated toward them for one, because I mime myself and two, is that they were extremely powerful dancers at only the age of eleven. Jordan, the male of the duo gave me a poster of the two of them and I asked him for his autograph and the female of the duo, his cousin jumped in said sassily “I'll sign it for you” and I chuckled. They were definitely one of my favorites performers that night.…

In those moments, I learned to open up to opportunities, no matter how small they may seem. In those moments, I learned to love and appreciate the diversity in those around me. In those moments, I wasn’t afraid to be who…

    Nowadays, getting mail is almost a breathtaking concept. With the new technology continuing to advance, everyone is a text or phone call away, and something that happens to many people everyday. Receiving mail, that isn't about paying bills or the latest deals on a gym membership is almost rare. Seeing my name on the very thin package completely caused me to rip the package open, though I already knew what was inside I am so eager to see. As I took the tickets from the light, ripped open envelope, they felt so delicate in my hands, if I had lost these prior to my concert, I wasn't going.…
