How To Visit To Niagara Falls

Tim O’Brien spoke to the Lovett Upper School in a very grim and upfront manner, careful to not “sugarcoat” any of the harsh realities from the War, which veterans have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. In a sense, O’Brien’s rash visualization of his brutal war stories was a necessary evil in explaining the war to a group of uninformed individuals. He spoke to show the confusion of the war, sharing many stories of despair and triumph in the jungles and fields of Vietnam. In many ways, the student body represents what was at the time of the war the American civilian population. While draftees were thrown into battle, the people in the United States were oblivious to the treacherous nature of combat. There seemingly was no preparation for a

The Sartell High School’s bands, choirs, and orchestra had their first concert of the year on October 16, 2017. I will be evaluating the wind ensemble’s performance of their two pieces.

East Carolina’s Concert band and Symphonic band performed on Tuesday, February 16, at seven thirty in the evening in Wright Auditorium. Being a duel performance it included over a hundred of my talented East Carolina peers led by outstanding band Directors Dr. Juchniewicz and Dr. Staub. Along with great students and Directors, the show incorporated a beautiful trombone solo performed by a fellow colleague. Although I have never attended a concert where such style of music was being performed, I did enjoy the music being played and most of them sounded as if I heard them before. The professionalism the students portrayed and maintain to the audience was breathtaking and made me honored to be their peers.

It’s amazing to listen to musicians who do not normally play with each other come together and leave the audience in complete awe. That is exactly what happened on the day of Thursday November 26th 2014. The Bill Crothers Varsity Winds comprised of grade eleven and twelve students along with a few, talented grade tens went to listen to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra play. We travelled via a typical yellow school bus that took us to Roy Thomson Hall where we went right to the top level and took our seats. The seating seemed rather helpful because from a distance you could hear every instrument when you focused on it. It was beautiful. The band presented well with their “Penguin” like attire that was kind to the eyes. They appeared very organized,

On February 27, 2017, I attended the School of Music’s Wind Ensemble. The program was 40 minutes long with no intermission. The concert was held in Morgan Hall in the Bailey Performing Arts Center on Kennesaw State University’s Kennesaw campus. The orchestra was conducted by Debra Traficante.

For this assignment, I went to the Basically Beethoven Festival at the Dallas City Performance Hall. The recital was opened with a few pieces played by the rising stars Madera Wind Quintet. The main performance included Rachel McDonald on the viola, Joseph Kuipers on the cello, Grace Wollett on the violin, Scott Wollett on the oboe, and the great pianist Alex McDonald. They performed a compilation of famous composers’ masterpieces.

It took place at the Partridge Hall inside the First Ontario Performing Arts Centre at 7:30PM on January the 30th 2017. It was exquisite, and such an amazing performance. The performers were very talented and you could tell that they were professional players. They decided that they would take the audience around the World by playing different pieces from different countries at different time periods which gave us a wide variety of musical tastes and made the performance much more interesting. The first piece that they played was called Fanfare from La Peri by Paul Dukas. It was a strong way to start off the evening

Young boys, seemingly in their nature, often play with their friends and pretend to be soldiers. I recall using nerf guns and walkie-talkies for top secret missions around the neighborhood. It wasn't until I grew older that I began to understand a soldier’s true significance. I soon became infatuated with American history. By the time the school curriculum covered an era

Symphonic Winds- Symphonic Winds is included in the curriculum as a second band to further develop student’s ensemble abilities and technique beyond that of the Freshman Band.

Because of its length, the Mattatuck is home mostly to through-hikers, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a young forest - most of the timber in the area was cleared by the local brass industry in the 19th century, then re-planted by young men of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. But it feels ancient, thanks to abundant moss under towering hemlocks, and hidden gems like the 60-foot, three-tier Buttermilk Falls. If you stop to talk to the locals, you may also hear that you’re in the stomping grounds of the legendary

Never could I have thought that my first concert experience was going to be in a college class, performed by various composers of classical music. During the concert, I got to listen to four performances. First, the Oxycotton was played by Tim Sanchez. Second, Samantha Post played Acht Stucke on flute, followed by Nicholas Gledhill, playing Blues and Variations for Monk on horn. Finally, the CSU Graduate Brass Quintet performed a piece named Misty. In this essay, I will share my personal experience of the concert and discuss the different elements of music seen in the different performances.

As we enter the sites, the students were overwhelmed with emotions, upon hearing about the tragedies that transfixed within the place. The tragedies of Gallipoli often turns a soldier into a statistic of numbers, rather than a person. The positioning of the trenches allowed us to realise the close proximity of the two opposing sides. Nothing could have prepared us with the marvellous sites of the near vertical cliffs overlooking the pebble Anzac Cove. From the beach, we made our way up Shell Green and into Lone Pine via Artillery Road. It's such an overwhelming sentiment to come into terms with, knowing that only 100 years had passed since our soldiers made the very same hike, only that time, there were neither stairs, nor memorials to mark the horrors that's about to face them. The hike itself made us come into terms with the terrors that were brought upon them, such as the wavering weather, the steepness of the hike and the close proximity of the enemies within the vicinity of the base

On Wednesday February 22, 2017, I attended the Frost School of Music Symphonic Winds “Music and Media” concert at the Maurice Gusman Concert Hall at the University of Miami. The conductors of this concert were Graig S. McKenzie, Christian M. Noor and Jay C. Rees. This concert included brass and wind instruments such as the flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone euphonium and tuba. There was also a percussion section that had instruments such as the timpani and a string section that included a harp, double bass, and piano. The entire concert consisted of six musical pieces of different genres: Symphonic Suite from Far Away and The Cowboy by John Williams, Vulcan by Michael Daugherty, Colorado by Benjamin Webster,

While adjudicating the ensemble festival, I would, first and foremost, look and listen for good tone, and the proper technique behind good tone. Individual musicians’ ability to produce good tone and play in tune relies heavily on their technique. It is important for young musicians to develop proper posture and left and right hand technique to be able to play the instrument properly and to prevent injury. Tone should be uniform, centered, consistent and well-controlled, and the ensemble should be in tune in all dynamic levels and ranges throughout the performance. Without the proper technique, tone quality and intonation, a string ensemble cannot be truly

The music played throughout all of the concerts adhered to be diverse. The instruments, the individuals performing, and the conductor all proved to be outstanding. The concerts proved to be interesting as I witnessed them, first hand.
