Concert Nights The feeling was chimerical. Seeing these bands up close was an amazing experience. This summer I attended two concerts, and just thinking about how those bands were in the same place as me is just something I will never forget. I’ve been to concerts before, but I’ve never seen notorious bands, it was always local bands. This summer I saw Nickelback and Green Day. I saw Nickelback and Green Day back to back, and they were both on school nights so I can assure you I was tired the next
The concert I chose to go to was Halsey’s, on October 22, 2017, in Orlando, Florida at the Amway Center. I have been a fan of Halsey, who’s real name is Ashley Frangipane, for four years. Since then, she’s grown from an unknown alternative opening artist doing small 100+ club venues to selling out arena tours with 20,000+ tickets. I’ve seen her four times on four different tours and she never ceases to amaze me with her showmanship and love for fans. Her openers were a pop singer, CHARLIE XCX, a
On October 14 I attended a New Wave concert in Downtown Massillon. This concert was actually apart of a larger event called the Massillon Zombie Walk which is held once a year. Most everyone dressed as a zombie. There was even a man who dressed as a Soviet spy zombie who made my night. He walked down the sidewalk with an accordion, a hammer and sickle pin, and a giant fur hat. Other zombies swarmed around him as I realized that I’m pretty lucky to live in an area that treasures local gatherings and
For my first official concert at Stephen F. Austin I attended the Stephen Page guest recital on Monday, October sixteenth. Despite my high expectations for the performance I was sorely disappointed with the concert. I enjoy the sound of the saxophone, but the tone colors produced when combined with the piano as an accompanist ruined it for me. The concert opened with In Transit by Mischa Zupko which consisted of five movements. The first movement, called Red Walls of Fog, opened with the piano
It’s hard to believe it was only two years ago. Two years ago that I saw my at the time favorite country artist in concert. My mind was racing with thoughts before and after the show. I had so much fun and I will never forget how happy I was and how much I appreciated my mama and step-dad for being able to do this for me because they knew I really wanted to go. My first concert, seeing Keith Urban is one I will never ever forget. The drive to Summerfest was amazing. My step-dad and my mama were
four years, I’ve gone to over thirty concerts for artists whose genres range from pop, rap, and alternative. Since I’m experienced with them, I’m aware of the different price ranges and the stage performances. After my first concert, I started working so that I could afford to have concerts as a hobby. Even though I have gone to many different types of concerts, like pop, rap, and alternative, my favorite kind to experience are alternative concerts. My first concert was also my first time seeing a pop
A live concert is always incredibly exciting because all of the energy and passion that the performers contain is conveyed towards the crowd from their stage. As I am only a beginner jazz enthusiast I came into the concert expecting to be exposed to new and interesting techniques and styles of jazz and similar ideas to what I’ve been learning throughout my jazz history class. As the auditorium was filled with students and jazz fans alike, we didn’t know what to expect for each of the performers.
and sweat lingered around, being wafted by the air conditioning as it made a pleasing soft rumbling noise. Earlier Me and the junior strings orchestra were getting ready for the finale concert of the season. After weeks of practice, rehearsal, and just being anxious, it was finally the day of the finale concert. We were playing side-by-side with the strings orchestra (second level orchestra). Our piece was this cyclopian four page long one called “Mars, from the planets”. The schedule that we were
This concert was not like any other I have attended. Two groups known as Sitting in Chairs and A Little Marching Band were linked together to create the Mucca Pazza. Before going to see this concert, I expected to see another group of musicians dressed in tuxedos and dresses while playing classical songs with violins and cellos. However, I was shocked to see the attire they wore, and I was surprised to hear the music they played. Both groups performed several songs that amounted to an enjoyable and
a performance in the magnificent concert hall. The concerts music included L’Ascension by Messiaen, Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani by Francis Poulenc and Camille Saint-Saens piece titled Symphony No. 3, “Organ.” I thought it would be interesting listening to a selection that I had no prior experience with and I had heard that the Dallas Symphony House was not only beautiful in appearance but had fantastic acoustics. The Staircase leading up to the concert hall were very decorated and had
