Being in both band and choir can be tough‚ but the nerve-racking performances can be even tougher. Just in band alone‚ you have to make sure your instrument works‚ you have to know and remember your notes‚ and learn how to play the music which is pretty difficult. In choir‚ you have to make sure you’re in the right seating arrangement‚ the right octave‚ and you have to make sure you’re singing the right part.

Jazz Society. The concert was from 9pm to 12 am in the morning. There look is like a big band but they have a swing feel to them. The bands whole persona is that of a big band that you would see on a dance television show back in the older days. There sound was very mellow and not loud at all.

greatest band of the rock history. Some might say that we’re exaggerating. How can we consider a group that never changed anything since its start as "big"? What credibility these old rockers dressed in black leather have at the beginning of the new millennium ? These are the two criticisms that are usually made concerning the four "Big Apple Men"‚ and that are denied by irrefutable facts: more than 2.000 concerts; about 20 albums of great quality‚ 3 of which are part of the rock history; thousands

Despite the internal turmoil in the punk movement‚ punk rock made several things clear to international audiences. Punk Rock‚ in its subculture‚ managed to break down many barriers of expression and language. It made an indentation in the commercial music industry. It provided a fresh alternative to a boring‚ stagnant music scene. But most of all‚ punk’s legacy lies in its introduction of self employment and activism‚ most essential to Britain at the time. It illustrated that anyone can do it themselves

“What do you mean all of this work is preparing me for life?” cried Melissa‚ one of my young trumpet players. “This is just a band concert!” The Beginning Band class had stalled in its progress toward their first performance and I could see it was time for me to convince her how preparing for a concert was about much more than playing the pitches and rhythms. There were lessons to be learned that would be applicable throughout her life‚ regardless of her eventual interests or careers. In the

went to the concert on Monday November 19th‚ 2012 titled “An Evening of Art Song and Opera”. The concert overall I felt was put together well and the singers Lori Hultgren‚ and Kyle Engler did a very good job singing each opera song. The pianist Daniel Lau was very eccentric and moved with with the music very well making it fun to watch as he played each song. The concert lasted a little over an hour as it had played more than 13 different opera songs. The first half of the concert had songs that
