but in the last couple minutes the orchestra directors talked about something called All Region. They told us that this was a competition where orchestra students from 4 different school districts auditioned‚ to be selected to play in an amazing concert! I was nervous and scared but excited for the challenge. I however knew that the most important thing was that I tried and put in my best effort. A couple weeks went by and I practiced and perfected 3 out of 4 pieces. Then‚ came the struggle. I had

On April 7‚ 2017‚ I viewed the musical production‚ “The Great American Trailer Park Musical.” The director of the musical was Jimm Cox. The set designer was Barry Whitfield. Rich Robinson was the lighting designer. The poster designer was Slade Mullinax. The production was held at the Performing Arts Center located on the University of South Carolina Upstate campus.

Band Concert Make-Up Assignment I listened to two recordings in the process of completing this assignment. The first recording was of a performance of the Wayne State University Wind Symphony‚ and the second recording was a performance of a band at the 2004 Midwest Music Conference.

The Gallery I did my review on was at Illinois Central College in room 336B. The show was called “Three Graces Under Pressure” by Patrica McWilliams‚ Sherri Denault‚ and Margie Glass Sula. The artwork together felt very calming‚ peaceful‚ and abstract. There is wood artwork that has some kind of carving. The artistists call this artwork “Tinted Graphite on Wood Panel”. There is also some type of white clay sculptures sitting on a tree branch or either on a pedestal. Another part of the artwork is

Before going to the jazz showcase I only had three previous experiences with live music and for the most part those experiences were not acoustic sessions but had more synthetic instruments. Due to this I was excited to go to this performance because it would be something that I had never experienced before.

When I was eight years old‚ my mom took me to my first formal concert in Carnegie Hall to hear the Cincinnati Pops play because her office got her and her colleague VIP tickets for Christmas. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it all that much because I was never a fan of classical music at that age‚ but I loved every second of that concert‚ or the fact that I was in New York City. That’s still debatable. That night was the soloist’s Carnegie Hall Debut‚ and I was completely in awe of her. I didn’t know

Concert Band vs Orchestra “Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It’s like a highly specialized army unit‚ or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart”. (Zandt) Have you ever played an instrument? Was it with a Concert Band or an Orchestra instrument? Do you have a preference? I think playing in a band is better than playing in an orchestra because of its modernized features‚ variety
