Grade 10 Performance Review

The concert performed by the Allen High School Symphony Orchestra, which combines the Chamber and Sinfonia Orchestras, was an amazing concert but was not a flawless one. The pieces all sounded quite wonderful on the outside, but by diving deeper into the music and truly listening to and observing the performance with a sharper eye, there were some problems that appeared in a couple different areas, and those problems came mainly from three distinct areas: tone, technique, and musicianship.

Intentionally publishing something that puts another in an unfavorable or untruthful light, though it is true

My last point is about the dancers’ techniques, which especially relates to the timing of their piece. While observing the dance, I couldn't help but notice the amount free movement being used. I don’t necessarily think that using free movement was the best idea for this piece, because the tempo of the song Clarity is very technical. In my opinion, if the dancers had increased their technique to perfect their piece, it may have looked professional and complete.

On Monday the 19th of April my class and I had the pleasure of attending the dress rehearsal for the new play Successions by Michaela Di Cesare at Centaur Theatre. This play was directed by Tamara Brown and stared four very talented actors. I found this play to be enjoyable in terms of viewing, but frustrating in terms of story. It had left quite an impression on me, albeit somewhat negative. However I find that being left with a strong negative impression is better than not being affected by the play at all. As the purpose of plays are to stimulate a response from the audience.

The interests of the theatrical criticism should involve telling the arts done by dancers, communicating their message, and appraising their arts. The fundamental components of the art of dance are based on the operations that the critic can perform. Some of them include the description of the dance, the feeling, interpretation of the message, as well as the contextual explanation of the dance. The transit space is one of the arts through dance that explores various themes that captures modes of culture in powerful ways. Tuesday, January 27, 2015 on the Eisenhower Auditorium I enjoyed watching Diavolo performance. This paper presents the dance performance critique of the transit space after the Diavolo concert. The paper also presents an analysis

They also provided small improvised solos for some of the students, with of course the saxophone being the main one. Although, I believe the person playing the bass lacked something. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it felt like something was off with his playing. I’m thinking it was more issues with technical skills or maybe just a problem with sound. His improv skills could have used a little bit more polishing, but he did used a couple of different, simple scales repetitively. The group as a whole had great rhythm and appealing attitudes towards us, the audience. The audience then reflected that same attitude back to the performers. That made it a lot easier to analyze this performance in comparison to others I’ve been to. I particularity enjoyed the saxophone player’s solos. Something about the tone of it seemed more expressive than the other instruments. Those solos were definitely the most creative and had more complexity to them. This theme was kept through most of the first half of the concert. It was kind of hard to hear or at least catch things that weren’t quite so

On November 9th, I attended the fall semester concert of William Penn University Department of Fine at the MTC. The WPU singers were directed by Anita Meinert and the WPU Jazz Ensemble was directed by Scott Cressley. I was mislead by the online website, it had the wrong time posted. Consequently, I arrived about a half hour into the concert. Of course I didn’t know this at the time. I simply thought everyone had gotten there early so they started a bit before the time the website had posted. I was soon told by another classmate that I was in fact very late. But, what I did hear of the concert surprised me.

One assessment I have in mind we would always taking was the fcat. annual test given to students in grades 3-11 that measures their skills in the areas of reading, math, science and writing according to Florida's Sunshine State Standards. I wasn’t always doing great on their .I like taking the ACT better .I score better and

The high school performance was fantastic. The acting for this strange play was sensational. Even though it must

For my Midterm Performance Assessment, I have chosen to focus my attention on Scenario 1 which states, “Should you test your embryos for gene mutations or other abnormalities before having a baby?” To this question, I would answer with a wholehearted yes. Although some people may disagree, I would say because of the following reasons. Keeping in mind that gene testing is not 100% accurate, it is still beneficial to get the test done so that parents can be made aware of potential birth defects or diseases. Having the embryos tested would also give the parents or parent time to undergo the proper procedures such as taking pills to correct the DNA sequencing. By fixing the corrupted DNA the parents can then go on to conceive a more healthy child that will go on to have a full and happy life as opposed to having a child with substantial birth defects which would leave to the child’s untimely passing.

I think that the performer’s ability was appropriate for their location and for their audience because the tone quality of the musicians sounded very rich and clean. When I listened to the performance, I was able to hear all of the different parts of the piece clearly, which has made me much more conscious of the balance and dynamics of each phrase when I play. The texture of the pieces played was very rich and full because an orchestral piece is designed to have a good balance of instruments and good range of frequencies of sound that has lots of different things happening at the same time.

I wish that I was able to hear my classmates’ thoughts about if the play ended positively or negatively and their reasoning behind it. Additionally, I also failed to bring up some of my points during the discussion which I did attend. For example, my ideas on the characters’ mindsets would have fit well into the conversation when we were talking about why Sam and Hally acted like they did during their argument. Next time we have a paideia, I will watch more closely for things that might tie into one of my ideas, so I can introduce it to the class smoothly.

We are a small school in a large world, but it is easy to witness even a small orchestra swaying to the urge of the conductor and realize beauty. Our school’s musical teachers urge this upon us - the silence after a performance, where every person in the room - musician, conductor, listener - stills, holding their breath, captivated by what just happened. My orchestra teacher says that it is beauty in its purest form, and it is one of the few truths in this world. I have seen music bring people to tears; I have seen the stoic swoon to the caress of Grieg’s melodies, and the shy fall in love to a slow song. I love my community for supporting all of these activities full-heartedly with a new, gorgeous school and fine arts center. The purpose

The theatrical tension was held very nicely by the dialogues on stage. The dialogues are of hurt and wayward passion, told with exceptional onstage chemistry. The dynamic between all the actors was great. There was nothing deliberate about the direction. Everything was honest, and truthful; each actor carried his or her unique style throughout the play genuinely.

Performance assessment is a tool that is use to evaluate whether the student have mastered the skills or knowledge that they learned. It is a process that needs to be done continuously and have to modify accordingly. Performance assessment can be done within the class and can be in any form. The result of performance assessment is not only based on their exam but also from other aspect. That will help the student to know what they are good in and what they lack of. It is different from the traditional assessment from the way it assessed.
