On May 9, 2015, Garvey’s Advanced Band and Mustang Choir went to the Trills and Thrills Festival at Burbank Middle School. We had to be at school by 7:15 AM since it was our call time, and that was way too early for me since I usually sleep at 12 AM. I was in Advanced Band and I played the clarinet. Of course I was excited to play at the competition, but I was also nervous since we were going to Six Flags afterwards and I had a huge fear of heights.…
Mark Johnson, was captive to the world of virtual exaltation. His life was like a buzzing bee, though without any amelioration for himself or for the society, his pride of performance and expression had become limited only in digital platform world, the social media of the day and night. Where his life hanged in front of all for a short while with likes and smiles, where he didn't realize how drastic the fall was.... he built a wall which wasn't his own, lost in that society troll, lounge. Mark, attended his college with pride ride of the perimeter he made for himself, the bubble of the fixated life.…
One night my friend Andrew McBride had a party at Hampton Inn. As soon as we got there we jumped into the pool. Me, Jordan, Dalton, Aidan,Ty,Andrew, Sam, and Landen were all there. We went into the hot-tub and back into the pool. After that we went upstairs to our room and ate Razorback Pizza and Cookie Cake.…
The time was upon us. It was a quarter to nine o’clock, and we were about to miss our favorite band. I felt the butterflies as they grew in my stomach. When Dan and I approached the main stage we saw “Nahko & Medicine for the People” setting up. The butterflies bounced off the inside of my stomach as Nahko spoke into his microphone.…
There really is nothing more relaxing and exhilarating than going to watch a live musical performance. Especially when the performer is going to be none other than your favorite artist. Although the location where the performance is held is important, the intensity and energy of both the performer and the crowd are what really makes a concert great. Upon arrival to the venue I couldn’t help but notice that it resembled an old movie theater. The building wore a coat of a creamy orange complexion along as well as a maroon Spanish tilled hat.…
During the night of the North High School choir concert we surely not ready half of us were shaking and the rest were trying not to forget the lyrics of the 5 songs but as i am sending this in right know it has been a week since the concert but in my perspective it was great in some moments and in others it felt awkward you know when you mess up in something and hoping nobody saw your mess up but you feel that someone saw you get that weird stare like everyone is on the moon and began to frustrate and feel like you messed up and forgot the lyrics. Anyways forget all that before we went to the auditorium we were getting ready putting on our ties, necklaces, and vest some people forgot about wearing black socks some forgot to wear black tights in this situation the guys had to wear all black only the tie should be purple and the women the same but they wore pearls and earrings but beside that the clothes/ dress had to be black. We…
Concerts have always been a way for the general public to experience their favorite artists and musicians perform right in front of them. I myself have been to several concerts, all of which have been rap and hip hop concerts. So going to an orchestral concert was going to be a very different experience to me. I know that there wasn’t going to be any mosh pits or excessive screaming of fans throwing themselves onto the performers. With all that in mind, I was mentally preparing myself for a very different experience, and honestly, I was more than ecstatic to go than I should have been.…
Six Songs of Me Part One: What is the first song you ever bought? To remember a single song that was the first I ever purchased is difficult, but I can trace it back to one band and one album.…
I will never forget the time I went to a Taylor Swift concert with my best friend Shalini Kishore. It was 5:59 on a Saturday evening Shalini was going to pick me up at 6:00 pm to go to the Taylor Swift concert. I stared down at my phone counting the seconds till 6:00pm “ 5,4,3,2,1!” Just then the doorbell rang “Ding Dong!” I dashed to the door with excitement.…
On September 11, 2015, at 7:30 p.m, I attended a Ariana Grande and Prince Royce concert in Staples Center, located in Los Angeles, CA. Since this was the first weekend my friend and I had free, we decide to go to the concert together. My friend and I are huge Prince Royce fans, so we were going so crazy. We were going so crazy and singing to every songs, that we almost lost our voices. I had a blast at this concert and it encourage me to go to other concert and I am planning on attended Daddy Yankee concert this coming Saturday.…
“Funny the way it is, not right or wrong. Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song. Funny the way it is, if you think about it, one kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out.” I will never forget the first time the song, Funny the Way It Is, by the Dave Matthews Band made sense to me. I was listening to the Dave Matthews Band Pandora station after I had just played my worst round of golf of the summer after having just played my best round of golf the day before.…
I sit in the balcony of the performing arts center, watching the stage intently as soft lights glint off of violins, flutes, and kettle drums. As the orchestra plays a swelling concert ‘A’, signaling the show will begin momentarily, my chest rises up in unison. People across the auditorium let out thunderous applause as the conductor strides onto his podium. The auditorium falls silent except for the sound of those hurrying to clear their throats and cough. The conductor raises his arms, baton resting gently in his left hand.…
Best Concert Ever For my birthday last year, I got tickets to Kelly Clarkson’s concert featuring Pentatonix. Pentatonix is an amazing a capella group featuring five people that won the sing- off. I am VERY obsessed with them, i even run a fan page on instagram. And of course, we all know who Kelly Clarkson is, a pop legend.…
On the 23rd of May in 2016, I entered the concert-going experience for the first time. It was not a planned event until a few days prior when I had a sudden desire…
“ Apart of Me!! My Yesterday Make’s up My Today “ I never thought I could experience the things I did. Starting from being forced to dance for money, having nowhere to sleep at night, and being sexually assaulted by a guy, I thought he and I were good friends. I didn’t realize, there was sunshine on the other side of the rain.…
