Concert of Europe

Unforgettable with Stephanie Aaron and the Bradley Jazz Ensemble was a very unique experience. I do not attend many concerts, but the ones that I have gone to were nothing like this one. The concert was full of energy and the lighting was dynamic. I mostly went to traditional concerts, but this jazz concert was much more energetic. When musicians would finish a solo the crowd would applaud and there was a lot of movement among the ensemble. For example, during the piece “Sing Sing Sing” the…

For this concert report, I attended the Cash Cash concert at Dunnkirk. This was on a Tuesday night and it was very packed. Luckily, I got there early and was able to stand in the very front row, so I had a great view and could hear great. Before Cash Cash performed, ad DJ Matt Molewyk performed. I would say that this was the starting indicator. While he started to play, people starting trickling in because they knew that Cash Cash would start playing soon. When Cash Cash came on, the…

What can I say besides what an amazing experience? As I basically stumbled into the Verizon hall trying to seem as prim and proper as possible I began to feel the intensity of what I was going to experience. As the performers tuned their instruments, and were prepping to begin their performance I felt a multitude of different emotions and trained to maintain my composure because I actually became somewhat excited in anticipation. I never really realize how massive the areas I am are until I…

The captivating sounds of drums, and passionate voices singing, as I walked into the Alaskan Airlines Arena, will forever be embedded into my memory. My words will never give this music its rightful justice. Therefore, I highly recommend that everyone, at least once, attend a Powwow, and experience this incredible music for themselves. Although this was a class assignment, my wife and children came along with me. I thought it was a good way for us to enhance our cultural awareness, and…

On Tuesday May 10, I attended a concert by the rock band, Dorothy at The Echo. The band lineup included: Dorothy Martin(vocals), Mark Jackson(guitar), Gregg Cash (bass), Zac Morris (Drums). Unfortunately, I was only able to hear two original songs of their own creation: “Missile” and “After Midnight”. Both songs were met with enthusiastic applause and praise. I was actually anxious to see them perform live as they were mentioned in Rolling Stone magazine as a promising new band and because I had…

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…

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…

be incredibly quiet in order to not disturb anyone else. However, for this performance there was an incredibly joyous vibe and a lax attitude due to the style of music being presented. The group was formed by Professor Taylor Ackley in 2015. The concert consisted of different types of traditional…

I attended the Golden State Women’s Choir Competition at the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church on March 4th, 2017. There, I watched the Advanced Treble Choir from Marin High School perform, directed by Stevie Greenwell. I enjoyed the concert very much. The songs selected were all very different. “Selene’s Boat” was very soft and the choir stayed very still throughout the song. “Ave Maris Stella” was a required piece, but the choir did it well. They performed it at a slow tempo, and sang the…

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…
