Concert

Well, well, well, it's all finally come to an end after weeks of hard work. Finally, we've tasted the fruits of our labour. It just tastes so sweet isn't it? Anyway, the concert overall was brilliant. Our school started off fine with African Symphony followed by FOTG which was very well done I must say. The trumpet solo and oboe solo was good. At least the dynamics and expression were there. I could even feel the song as I was playing it. Simply wonderful! Tchaikovsky was especially special since it was our band major who took the baton. He was full of confidence and had lots of expression when he conducted. Good for him. The best part of the concert was the Combined band segment though. We started off well with Huntingdon celebration followed by Pirates of the Caribbean. Many trombone players were blasting throughout this song and it nearly spoilt the music. That's aside from the point though. Lord of the Dance was excellent and the comment from the audience was that they loved the song especially the trumpet solos. Many liked the nineties, our final song supposedly because of the gimmicks. It sure brought the crowd to live and brighten their day. This song included Titanic, You'll be in my heart, circle of life and many more. The light stick part was especially interesting since we had to play in the dark. This portion of the concert was definitely the most memorable part of the night. Our two encore pieces were fine. We even had a 'light stick war' with the audience at the end of the concert, haha that was nice. Overall the concert was a success. Cheers!
