For my report I went to Layton High to see their choir. I enjoyed all the choirs that performed that day, and they all did a very great job. Not all of the choirs did enjoy as much as some others, but it was very enjoyable. The list of choirs that were there is: Laytones, Laytonaires, Advanced Choir, Lace, Lyrics and Beginning Choir. There were few that stood to me, it was the Lyrics, Legionnaires, and Advanced Choir. Yet the Lace Choir stood out the most singing “Taylor The Latte Boy” I have never heard that song before, but personally it was magnificent! One more that I absolutely thought was also great was when Beginning Choir sang “Hist Wist.” They had a lot of movement and they did this thing with flashlights and turned them on and off to the music it was truly amazing!
There was a lot of things that went well such as when Advanced Choir sang “Keep Holding On” by Avril Lavigne and “Seasons of Love” by Rent. They went really well they preformed well and even moved around the stage and didn't miss a note. Another thing that was amazing was when the Laytones sang “Tonig...
Choir is a form of musical art. It consists of four different types of groups, and each vocal ranges from highest to lowest. The way people in choir communicate with each other is when they harmonize, they learn about one another through the emotions of a song they sing in unison. Choir is not only for people who can sing, it is
On November 16th, 2013, I attended a concert choir, fall choral concert. This event took place on the Wheaton College Campus, in the Edman Chapel at 7:30 pm. The chapel was well-lit, with long pews for the audience to be seated. The concert began with the audience looking up into a balcony, where the ensemble stood in neat rows. They watched the conductor, who stood on a stage in front of the audience, waiting for their cue.
On March 13th the Rochester Oratorio Society and Houghton College Choir performed at the Hochstein Performance Hall in the city of Rochester. It was a predominately vocal concert with an accompanying pianist. The main performance of the evening was the Rochester Oratorio Society’s rendition of Johannes Brahms’ “Ein deutsches Requiem,” in which vocal soloists Elena O’Connor and Benjamin Bloomfield took the front stage, and Linda Boianova joined Kevin Nitsch as a second pair of hands behind the piano.
Every performance was presented with charm. The flashing, changing colors seem to go along with the performances. The director was humorous. The performers outfits were on point too. I liked the color coding of the vocalists, Jeremy, Jordan, and Rowan. Also, Julie wore a pretty suede dress and had a great voice. It was nice to see her come out for the 2nd time to sing. When Spencer kept playing his saxophone in some of the performances, it was just amazing. Some of my favorite performances were Sittin on the Dock of the Bay, Ain’t too Proud to Beg, In a Sentimental Mood, and more. It really made me feel like I was in New Orleans all over again. I absolutely love Otis Redding and The Temptations music, so I wasn’t new to these songs they played. I was sitting in the back (R-125) where I felt comfortable to bob my head to the music. If I ever come back to see another concert, I will make sure to get a seat in the back again. I adore Jordan that did sung the Temptations song. I thought it was exciting to see his enthusiasm while on stage keeping us engaged, but everyone did great in their own way. The song by Duke Ellington made me feel melancholy, the piece was soft. I just couldn’t believe how well everyone contributed and gave an outstanding
Throughout the musical, the prowess of each individual performer was on display. Every performer, with the exception of Kristine, expressed a power and vibrato that was breathtaking; the highest notes lilting and the lowest notes thundering. I was in awe during a majority of the performances because of the commanding singing in each performer.
The begging of middle school our choir consisted of Sopranos, Altos. This was mainly due to the fact that we didn’t hit puberty yet. That year I found my niche. This was exciting for me because I wasn’t like my brothers who are athletic. My 7th and 8th grade year were the years I made a difference. To add on to the Sopranos and Altos the guys were now baritones and that was a big deal. During my 7th grade year we sang Phantom of The Opera. My friend Jon and I sang a duet and received a standing ovation. The following year was just as good due to the fact we sang Broadway medley. I sang Part in the South Pacific song aint nothing like a dame. Later in that piece I had a whistling solo for the king and I. this was so cool to do because people thought I was going to sing and I shocked the by whistling. High school was a big change because we now had 4 parts: Soprano, Alto, Bass, and Tenor. Our choir consisted of 50-60 students and 40 of them were girls. I was very intimidated by this but didn’t let this stop me. I sang tenor and our section was about five people but we were the strongest section. We hosted State Large group which is where judges rate your choir you can receive division 1, 2,3,4,5. One would be the best that you could receive. We also had honor choirs you could go to. I went to one in Waverly, Iowa at Wartburg College called the Meistersingers Honor choir. While I was there I sang tenor 2. This Honor choir was about 600 high school students plus the Wartburg choir. This particular honor choir was special because we sang with Simone Estes, the famous opera
Overall, I was very impressed by the concert and I feel that the rest of the audience was also impressed. The expectations for the members of the Chamber Orchestra are high and those were met, but I feel that the expectations for the choral group were not as high. My expectations for the choir were not very high and they were immensely exceeded. The level of talent in that group was something that I was really not expecting at all.
I also liked that the Soloist Joan provided a brief background of why she was going to perform a song and what it mean to her. She would ask the audience if they can relate to certain situations. For instance, prior to signing her rendition of Etta James “Your Eyes” a moderato song, She asked, “You ever had enough?, so you have your bags packed at the door, ready to go and as you make your move, you feel a touch from behind, when you look into that person eyes, “Damn your Eyes” and then she begins to sing the song, in-between captivating the audience attention with more questions. Joan Belgrave, also sang to a member of the audience which he shyly participated, that carried a little humor. As the end of the song, I notice that the brass instruments and drums is what made the Etta James song really
Dialogue was wel presented for the most part, but there were a decent amount of stumbles that were obvious to the audience. At one point, Corny Collins, played by Edwardo Solorio, stumbled, stopped, said sorry, then tried again rather than pushing through and making it work. The vocals were great, especially on solos. A few duets/trios were slightly pitchy such as "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now", but sounded it fine once they locked in. The band did a wonderful job, they did not overpower the actors or make any noticable
The production had many elements which for the most part formed a coalition to further the plot. The characters, the three part scenery and costumes represented well the period of time these people were going through. As far as the performers entering and exiting the stage, it could have been more organized. There were a few times when the performers exited at the wrong times or it seemed so due to the echo of the music. At certain moments the music was slightly loud and drowned the performers. Many of the songs dragged on, so the pacing could have been more effectively executed. Though the music was off at times, the director's decision to have most of the songs performed center sage was a wise one. Also the implementation of actual white characters that were competent in their roles came as a great surprise to the audience and heightened the realism.
...ked throughout the concert. The pacing of the selections seemed appropriate. No piece sounded like the one before it. There was a great variety of songs played. There were songs played that were written by famous jazz composers and songs played that were written by some of the performers themselves. This added to the excitement of the show.
The Black Voices, Gospel Choir, had a huge impact on the lives of students in the study. It helped African American students to create a sense of belonging on predominantly White Institution. By establishing a sense of belonging on campus, while reducing feelings of marginalization, gospel choir participation enabled African American students at a PWI to persist in college. The Black Voices afforded participants opportunities to develop ethnic pride and understanding. Despite differences in the impetus for their involvement in the gospel choir, participants identified advancing knowledge about Black culture and the Black community on campus, representing the Black race to White peers and faculty members, and learning about one’s own culture.
On Wednesday, May 23rd, I attended the College Choir concert in the Reamer Campus Center. The choir performed a variety of songs, ranging from pieces in Latin to traditional American folksongs. Two of the pieces featured solos, and one even featured percussion instruments. Mrs. Elinore Farnum provided piano accompaniment for each of the songs, and performed beautifully. I was extremely impressed by the talented choir members and their ability to sing such a varied range of songs.
Every person in the show has such an amazing talent for both singing and dancing. I give them all a pat on the back for not only being able to sing or dance, but for doing them both simultaneously. I am still in shock as to how Will jumped perfectly on the rolling bin without falling or even looking like he struggled in the slightest bit. The scenes where everybody was singing together were by far my favorite. I’m a sucker for hearing perfect harmony, and it happened multiple times in this play. It occurred when Jud and Curly sang together and it literally made me stop taking notes to watch them sing together because it sounded so good. The amount of dedication and time this show took was what truly gave me an appreciation for the
By the twelfth song which was the last I could still feel the atmosphere, the pride and the gratitude of the people. We were just happy to be in their presence. For the last song the whole crowd moved together in a bizarre, alternative. dance. I am a sassy girl.
