The theme that the seniors chose for their final performances was “home”. The first dance began with the lights off and the stage dark. Then

Marching and Concert Band Marching band and concert band have two completely different concepts. However‚ many high school students consider the word band as being able to play some kind of musical instrument. Being a five year marching band member and playing in concert band for seven years‚ I feel as if I know the difference between these two activities. One of the main differences between marching and concert band is the mental process one must go through to memorize the music and the steps on

The topic I’ve chosen to write about this week’s journal is about a concert I went to this past Monday. Actually‚ to my surprise‚ it was not really a concert. The title of the event was Julieta Venegas with Rafa Esparza. Julieta Venegas is a very talented Hispanic singer that was born in Long Beach‚ California but was raised in Tijuana‚ Mexico.

Last Saturday‚ I attended the All-Region concert at Berkner. My family and I arrived 20 minutes late‚ but surprisingly came right on time to watch the beginning of the high school concert. In the end‚ I was surprised by how short the whole concert had felt. One minute I was hearing the orchestra perform and the next we were on our feet clapping. Now‚ as I try to actually remember the concert‚ the first piece was not as memorable as the second and then third. They played with energy and the endings

Concert Review Paper On November 1‚ 2013‚ I had the pleasure of attending an indie pop concert by the band Two Door Cinema Club. The concert occurred on a late Friday evening at the Fox Theater in Pomona. When I arrived at the theater‚ I did not expect there to be as many people as there were.

The line to get in was very long as it wrapped around the block and it took close to an hour to
