Jazz Concert Essay

We had just performed on front of a crowd of about 80 people. Upstairs, listening to the jazz music from other schools we were very tired, it has been a long Friday and it was 10:00 in the afternoon. We were dancing to the jazz music alone, smiling, and the only thing coming out of our mouth was laughter, and the imitation of the vibrant sounds coming from the shining trumpets on the stage below us. The Jazz Festival in Oak Harbor was amazing, even though I didn’t hang out with a lot of people, but

For the University Activity Assignment, I decided to go to something I would most likely enjoy, so Devin and I chose the Afro-Cuban Jazz Ensemble! After going to the Creative Arts building with Devin, we decided to try and catch them practicing early and that didn’t work because they kicked us out and forced us to sit in the hall for 20 minutes. After finally getting let in, the show started with a bang and although I didn’t recognize any of the songs, from what I could understand (I don’t speak

I enjoyed a wonderful jazz concert on Saturday night, to an audience about eighty people. Most of the audiences were college students and elders and it was not hard to tell that everyone was expecting this concert very much. At about 8:20pm, the concert started. Kei Akaji, the pianist and composer, introduced himself and his friends to the audience humorously and briefly. Then, 4 instruments assemble were gathering in the center of the stage and 10 wonderful jazz pieces was presented. Each piece

Gardner is a highly accomplished jazz trumpet player, who has traveled the world playing jazz music.The Ensemble member are; Bryce Harris, Jonathan Carroll, Cody Belton, Garrett Brown and Bryan

more than 11 concerts the adrenaline of being on stage would have died down a bit. It hasn't. I've danced since I was 3 and every time I go onstage the rush is the same.

I wake up and immediately start getting ready for concert. Getting ready consists of my mom trying to do a dutch braid while I do my concert makeup. I hear
