Concert dance

Experiencing a concert live is breath taking because it comes to realization how much work the artist has put into the music and choreography. Listening to the album is based off of visuals in your head as of what is going on in the song, or how the story is being played out. The concert is about giving the fans a show, but artist also let fans join in on the songs while they sing it just to see how many people actually listen to the music that they have been putting out. You could anticipate…

of my life at concerts. Seeing bands you love live and in person can make you love the band even more. Jumping around and singing to the lyrics is infectious and you feel as though the people around you are your family. They all love the band like you do, know all the lyrics like you do, and cheer loudly like you do. When the band’s lyrics are very inspirational or have helped you through a hard time, going to their live show is especially breathtaking. I have been to many concerts, but one of…

Holiday Concert Evaluation After a long summer vacation and a few months that seemed to go by fast, but felt like a lifetime, Concert Band finally had its first formal winter concert. List three positive musical aspects about the concert: I have to admit, since playing in Concert Band for two years now, this winter concert felt different than the rest. (In a total good way.) Maybe it's because I’m an 8th grader this year, and I know the rest of the 8th graders in this class so that way…

from the traditional deep southern sounds of bluegrass, to the stylistic hard and raw sounds of rock and roll. Standing apart from all the rest, a new up and coming Indie Pop band, put on quite literally the greatest show I’ve ever seen. At that concert I experienced a feeling of true exhilaration. Nothing else can come close to the feeling right before they took stage, when the lights cut out, leaving everyone in absolute darkness and all you could hear was the manic roar of the awaiting crowd.…

first concert I attended this semester. The performance was entitled “New World Discoveries” and it contained three main selections. First, they played the Overture to The School for Scandals. Then, they played a collection of works called Five Mystical Songs that included a vocal soloist. They concluded the evening with Symphony No. 9 in E minor from The New World. My favorite piece of the night was by far Symphony No. 9 in E minor, but the concert as a whole was very enjoyable. The concert…

Last year I got the chance to see One Direction live in Nashville. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think about getting the opportunity to see them in person instead of on a screen. I guess really do come true! Having to wait from Christmas, the year before, to August 19, 2014 was extremely hard for me. My parents kept telling me that if I didn’t keep my grades up, they were going to sell my ticket. Guess I proved them wrong because I still got to go. After counting down the days, the day…

Music Review: Madison Beer I had recently attended a Madison Beer concert, located in San Francisco at the Swedish American Hall. Madison Beer is a 19 year old American singer that sings mainly pop music. The concert had lasted about an hour of her singing her top songs from her most recent album, “As She Pleases”. Some upbeat songs, some sad songs, and some with a mix of both. As the crowd was chanting, “Madison” for a good 10 minutes she had finally come out and the crowd went wild. She had…

Houston to see the concert on September 24th. This was the first concert I had ever attended, so I have a good memory of the event. It was quite a wonderful experience seeing one of my favorite R&B artist preform live in such an amazing venue. The concert was at the Bayou Music Center in Houston, Texas. The venue could hold around 5000 people, and had both standing and sitting room. There was approximately 3000 standing tickets and 2000 seating tickets available for the concert. I was surprised…

The University Jazz Combos concert did not focus on formality the way I originally believed it would. Instead of walking into a concert hall to see the performers dressed in black, already set up, and just finishing tuning there was a shocking amount of color, styles of dress, and a flurry of movement. My experience from the last concert lead me to believe that a recital would be just as formal and put together as a symphony performance. In fact, the entire atmosphere of the recital hall was…

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…
