Concert band

I attended a jazz band concert that was held at Cosumnes River College by the music department. I do not know how to play an instrument, but I like to listen to people play. I was excited to hear them play, but I knew I would go by myself. I enjoy listing to people play internment, and whenever I study I listen to instrumental songs. Music is a place where people find comfort, because there is a verity. I found out the cost of the concert before I went to the event, because I to be certain that…

I went to a holiday concert in Greensboro. To be more specific, it was the Fox 8 Holiday concert, being played at the Greensboro LJVM Coliseum. The Band performing, is the Winston-Salem Symphony. This concert was held, to help feed the hungry and homeless. The Triad used to be number one in hunger in the nation, but this concert and countless other charities and efforts have helped to bring the number of homeless and hungry down drastically. This year alone, the holiday concert as a whole raised…

great experience for me because it was something new, due to the fact that it was live performance with actually band. At first I thought it was going to be boring because, it usually these event don’t capture my attention. Professor Knight did an amazing job collaborating these groups to give an outstanding performance. To me this commercial music combo felt like an actually concert. There were two groups performing and each group played something different. The first group played one my…

I attended a jazz concert that featured Jazz Spirituals songs. The concert took place at Dizzy's – where the music matters the most; and just as promised by the name of the venue, the atmosphere was mainly focused on the music. The band was placed on the middle front of the venue and the audience took a sit at a really close distance from them; allowing us to really enjoy and feel the music. The show was arranged by the pianist of the band, Richard Thompson. The band also consisted of Derek…

to pop, and even classical. Before this concert, however, I had never seen a Jazz concert performed by other musicians. In approximately the 6th grade, however, I preformed a blues piece in the exact room the Introduction to jazz class takes place. This had been my foundation for Jazz up until this point in time. One could say that I had no experience when it came to the concepts of Jazz in its entirety. This meant that not only attending a Jazz concert, nevertheless an Introduction to Jazz…

This was my first rock and roll concert that I have ever attended. It was an amazing experience to witness live the energy of this genre of music. During the concert, the spontaneity in the artists’ improvisations, musical communications of the artists by their listening to each other’s instruments, the guitarist’s hair shaking and lively performance, the guitarist’s and the bassist’s jumps in the middle of the songs reflecting their musical expression, and the bassist’s impromptu singing in a…

Concert Report #2 For my second concert report I attended the Colorado State University Honor Band recital. This was help December 12, 2015 at the Griffin Concert Hall. This concert was a collective group of honor band students from a variety of Colorado high schools and home schooled students. A range from freshmen to seniors. These students were standouts and handpicked from their respects schools. This was a students were led by conductor Rodney Dorsey. Dorsey comes from the University of…

scandals and drama; therefore, it is no surprise as technology evolves opportunities for musicians to face scandal increases. One scandal allowed by technology is lip syncing. An increasing amount of musicians take the easy way out and lip sync during concerts and important events. Lip syncing is an inexcusable offense for a musician. It is deceitful and wrong for artists to lip sync in live performances, and it should not be allowed. Performers are held to a different standard when they…

This year, our Marching Band got the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee where we encountered the different musical culture they had. We attended The Grand Ole Opry, a concert where many talented country musicians performed live in a giant hall. It was a fascinating experience when we learned about the musician’s lives through their music and what they consider everyday aspect of their lives that we don’t have farther up north. One of the band members got the opportunity to participate in a…

resigned towards it being dull, boring, and tiresome because this is not my preference of music. However, despite attending it with obvious bias, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole concert experience was startling with exhilaration. The entire atmosphere stuck out to me, as it was a deep contrast towards my usual pop concerts. The lights were dimmed and everyone was silent, simply enjoying the music. The conductor also enhanced the entire experience due to his high energy and obvious love for…
