On Wednesday, November 28th, the Upper School Bands and Orchestras will play their first performance of the year. Every live performance brings a wide range of emotions for performers and conductors alike. There is a feeling of excitement and energy in the air as we anticipate sharing our hard work with the audience. We have lived with and worked on the music for months, and we want to show our friends and families what we have accomplished and what we are able to do.
Almost every performance also includes a degree of nervousness as well. Will we play as well as we know we can? How will that tricky spot in the opening piece go? What if we get off? No matter how much any musician prepares for a performance, the unexpected can and does occasionally happen. Yet, that is the beauty of live performance. No two performances are ever the same, and the audience and musicians get to experience that thrill together. Audience and performers experiencing the music together as it continues to unfold throughout the evening – that’s the magic of any concert!
Please join the Upper School Band and Orchestras at their Fall Concert on Wednesday, November 28th, at 7:30pm in the Nicholson Center, to experience the joy of live music. The concert will feature the Upper School Band, Jazz Band, Woodwind Ensemble, Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra.
