Concerts

year old girl has for a band full of cute boys that she wants to marry. The excitement only builds when the concert is announced, and finalized when a white t-shirt is decorated with the last name of the cutest member written on the back like a jersey. April 11th 2014, the date circled in the Glee Calendar was fast approaching; in fact, the story starts the very afternoon before the concert. Churchill P.E class, the least athletic but surprisingly competitive place, causes the initial hiccup.…

things while growing up: stay out of drama and stay out of a mother and daughter fight. When the day came that I saw a mother and daughter fighting about going to a concert, staying out of it was something I could not bring myself to do. Growing up I was never allowed to go to a concert, and with all the attacks happening at concerts, I do not blame my parents for keeping me from attending them. I know what you must be thinking, “What kind of an idiot would try to interfere with the way a…

March 11th, 2016 “Song and Dance” was performed by Georgia College’s wind symphony in the Russell Auditorium on March 11th. The last performance I went to was Chicago and this concert entertained me just as much. The whole concert was very calming and soothing to the ears. Everyone in the concert kept their professionalism to a tee – it was a great performance. In the first piece there was a girl who performed “Words of Love” and had a beautiful voice, the wind orchestra accompanied…

On July 13, 1985, two simultaneous concerts that featured many legends was broadcasted globally. Bob Geldof went to Ethiopia after hearing about the most recent famines and witnessed all the unfortunate things that were happening to these people. This caused him to be inspired, and this inspiration led to something amazing. Bob Geldof was the idea guy in this situation, he wrote alongside Midge Ure Do They Know It’s Christmas? to spread awareness to people that not everyone is lucky enough to…

to receive an opportunity to play Carnatic violin in a concert hall in India. Carnatic music is a devotional art form that originates from South India. I grew excited and impatient, not nervous, because I knew how hard I worked to get there: practicing for hours, convincing my brother to keep taalam (the beat), listening to recordings, and debating with my parents. Concert day was spectacular, but the values learned building up to the concert were priceless. This three-hour solo recital, dubbed…

first time, I attended an actual concert, and not just any concert. I was blessed with a free ticket to go see Joe Bonamassa at the Altria Theater here in Richmond, Virginia. With a little research, I discovered that Joe Bonamassa is a Grammy- nominated blues -rock guitarist. At the time I was given the ticket to go see him preform, I felt no sense of excitement, I never even heard of him before that day nor did I listen to blues-rock. However, by the end of the concert I was glad I said yes to…

in Hollywood, Florida on November 20. This place is well known for its nightlife scene and endless entertainment options and live concerts, however this specific night something major was about to happen for all of us from the Cuban community. It was the first time that young Cuban musicians from different musical backgrounds, would come to U.S and offer a huge concert, all together on the same scenario. There was a lot of anticipation and expectation for this specific event in the Cuban…

through concerts and other events. Sadly, this allows for the distribution of drugs to be an easier and clandestine task. Another harmful result of the relationship between drug culture and music, specifically rap music is that it causes issues due to the way musicians falsely portray drugs, alcohol, and their fortune. They display drugs in a positive light, which makes it more appealing to teenagers. What are certain lyrics encouraging adolescents to do? They…

really enjoyed the concert because I love listening to his music and having him perform it live in front of me was amazing, you also felt as if you were going on an emotional journey with drake through his life, with ups and the downs being highlighted throughout his music. The quality of the live music was really good compared to some live performances I’ve been as it was clear and didn’t sound a lot different to the studio recordings. I felt that the audience really enjoyed his concert too,…
