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…

Why do you want to be a Mohai youth advisor? As long as I can Remember I have always wanted to lead. In elementary school, I was repeatedly called out and disciplined for bringing my ideas into the class plan without any call for. Early on I also discovered my passion for history and the language arts. In 4th grade, I marked all over my sisters AP world history books. My parents, of course, got angry for my actions, but wonderfully they recognized my interest and helped me pursue it. My room…

Paramore is an alternative rock band. I mainly chose this band due to the fact that it was the first band I had ever listened to. Whenever I hear their songs, it brings nostalgic memories of how I used their music to express the antsy feelings I felt back in middle school. It allowed me to express the depression and suicidal thoughts I felt without harming myself. The songs that affected me the most and helped me get through tough times were “Playing God “, “Feeling Sorry” and “Ignorance “. The…

people know Mozart as a great composer, who was involved with music from a very young age. Not only was he able to compose and play music at a very young age, his music was well-known and people asked him to compose pieces for specific events. His music was special and left people wanting to hear more. Throughout his short lifetime, he was able to compose a multitude of magnificent pieces that are still in use today. Not only is his music still in use today, but it also has a special effect on…

playing the flute and getting instructed by one of the best band instructor’s ever Mr. Hartz. But before moving on to the flute every little person played their first instrument which was the recorder where we played in the fourth grade. At this time music wasn't as advanced and the songs we played included lullaby type of songs including Mary had a little lamb, Hot Cross buns, and many more. Since I played band in elementary school starting from the fifth to the eleventh grade, I’ve been real…

With all of the problems we experience daily and hear about throughout the world, it would appear that humanity is falling apart; that the values of peace, love, and equality, among others, are no longer relevant. In 2003, the Black Eyed Peas released their lead single from the album Elephunk entitled “Where is the Love?”. This song became popular for it inspirational lyrics and its uplifting and “funkafied” beat. The song starts out with two guitars and a bass line that induce a soft and…

To get the listeners attention, the Blacked Eyed Peas start their song “Where is the Love?” with a question. When you start a song with a question, it makes the listener think that something important is going on. Although this song came out eleven years ago, it continues to have relevance today. The fact that people still listen to the song today means that it has had an impact in their lives. Three rhetorical ideas that are in this song are logos, ethos and pathos. Logos is the basic logic…

dynamics constantly fluctuate between extremes of piano and forte. The most unexpected shock is the onset of the allegro assai which Mozart intentionally inserts “just as one thinks the aria has ended." (Weiss 131) In this final part of the aria, the music accelerates and crescendos to a permanent high and the janissary instruments that were present in the chorus suddenly return in full. It is during this tumult that Osmin completely loses control his temper and chants out violent threats…

with live music before so this was actually a first for me. Although I’m not sure how I would feel about going to concert of this genre just to listen to music. I think it was the combination of the food, the music and overall laid-back atmosphere of the restaurant made the experience pleasant. This is definitely not my preferred genre and I think without food or company the experience would’ve been a bit boring. Other than for education purposes, or just to have some background music for my…
