My First Concert At Hastings

Although I enjoyed the concert, it was very different than how I normally think of jazz. It sounded as if they're playing could've been improvisatory. Although I know that's not the case, at many parts it felt like there were three musicians playing separate pieces that didn't go together. It felt very free, and possibly purposely made to be unique. As they announced titles, they would indicate where the song comes from. Sometimes, they would indicate one of their band members and sometimes it would their version of someone else's song, such as their song “The Robots.” You can see the personalities of the musicians as they play and in their songs. The drummer, Dave King, wrote one of their songs “Keep the Bugs Off Your Glass and The Bears Off Your Ass” and was the most freestyle player. He seemed to have fun, and looked like he was completely free as he played. After relistening to the songs at a later point, I can confirm that not just his playing, but the entire song wasn’t exactly the same, which leads me to believe they do a lot of freestyle typical in jazz. Specifically, Dave King was very humorous throughout the concert. He would tell jokes the entire time between songs, and told a story about his big dream to give out ice cream at their concerts one day. Out of all of them, his personality and playing shined out the most. The performance showed clear elements of jazz and popular music as they played, using syncopation, freestyle, and melodies to musically communicate with the

I felt their hands land on my shoulders, pushing me forward and backward. It eventually made me feel dizzy, but once I help myself out of that sea of humans, my heart pumped very fast like I was on a roller coaster. After a 20 minutes of delay, the concert finally started. I screamed my lungs out as I clearly could not control my excitement. The intense and humid atmosphere fitted perfectly into the concert, making everyone enjoy the concert to their fullest. After the concert ended, I was exhausted but I could not believe that I was seeing the world star Bigbang with my own eyes. As soon as my dad starting driving we did not stop talking how amazing the concert was and how it should've been longer until we arrived at a restaurant to eat a late dinner before we went home.

First, the overall tone in all three pieces was phenomenal, but there were a couple spots during the performance that were not as amazing as the rest of the performance. In the first song, Hamilton by Jerry Brubaker, it was hard to hear certain sections

Prior to the concert I had been somewhat familiar with all three bands' music. I

“Being Alive” shifted the emotions of the concert from upbeat and pop-oriented vibes to slower and more minor tastes and sounds.

There was so much speculation as to what the band would open with for their 25th anniversary show, and in the most spectacular fashion, they opened with one for their oldest songs, The Song That Jane likes. To make that moment even more special, Dave's sister Jane was in the crowd watching the show. After a stellar opener, the band was no doubt feeding off the crowd's energy. 6 songs into the set list was when the audience was caught off guard by the 1st of the 3 new songs to be debuted that night. The 3 new songs played that night held the titles of, Samurai Cop, Bob Law, and Bismarck. All of them were very highly received by an ecstatic crowd. The band did a fantastic job of blending old classics in with their new age material to keep the energy up. In another surprising turn of events, the band liberated 2 songs that had not been played in years, the 1st of the 2 being a fan favorite, Sugar Will, and the 2nd being the legendary song, The Last Stop.

The day was already crazy, I got home from my vacation at four in the morning. I was running off of five hours of sleep and the concert didn't even start until seven; ending at twelve. I was on my way to go pick up my best friend, Taylor; its a ritual for us to get ready together before every show we go to. Taylor and I went back to my house to start preparing for the rave. Finally it was four o'clock and we were ready to leave.

I am fixing my hair, and humming along to a song I heard on the radio, when I hear the concert start. I heard the announcements begin and the lights go dim. There was people all around me. People tripped over cords or called out demands. Some had microscopic mics on their faces, some had been putting on makeup on.

The third song of the concert that I was interested in was called “Im Blue”. The general character of this song is mellow and has a New Orleans jazz melody to it. Rhythm in the song has a nice calming harmonious tone to it throughout. The timbre in this song is calming color to it making it a peaceful piece. The emotional content in this song come from the sax player when it’s his time to shine the whole band engages with everyone grooving out. The tempo of the song is very calming and brings you into a relaxing body feel. The emotional content also comes from the lyrics itself rather than from

The awards begin, as time passes the finally get to us, we got 2nd place. Hearing the words made my stomach drop, I was holding on to someone's hand and I felt the grip tighten. Tears began to flow down my face. When the awards finished, all the bands disband and congratulate each other. When this happens I turn around and it’s a sea of crying people, and I was one of them. Everyone starts hugging each other and saying, “There’s always next year!” The logan band meets up and Mr.Wilke, our band director, told us something that made the whole band burst into laughter, “ Ayala got 1st place because we beat them last year, just wait till next year we got

Tyler didn’t miss a note. He stayed energetic the whole two and a half hours. Josh drummed so intensely and was so upbeat he had the crowd rocking out. Listening to their lyrics live, I felt inspired and at home. All of their songs have a deeper meaning behind them and a life lesson that can be taken from it. They are extremely influential to their fan base. Looking at them up on the stage, I saw the happiness on their faces. I could tell they were enjoying themselves and that they wanted to be there. That is a big part of concerts.

He played a lot of soothing music compared to Prometheus, which I really liked. I thought it was also incredible that he had another performance with the quartet right afterwards and already played another show before he played at 3pm. Both guitarists made different types of sounds with their foot and guitar such as tapping the guitar to create a non-string sound. I thought that their stage presence was really good because they had me engaged the whole time and really listen to their performance. Additionally, I like how after every song the guitarists would talk a little bit about the history of the song and how it came to be. It was especially interesting to hear how certain songs were made and the inspiration behind them. Overall, I really enjoyed going to a classical guitar concert because I’ve never been to one and it was definitely a different and new experience for

Dan had convinced me to the guys concert tonight. I usually didn't go since I always was backstage and I never did anything. The only way I really wanted to enjoy concerts from now on was from the crowd and not from backstage. Definitely not something a normal person would say, but I mean I've been to about every concert of there. Mostly calming Dan down but still.

I attended this piano trio concert with two beautiful young musicions. During I listening to the trio’s music, I thought about our human’s lives. All musics are showed us our life like childhood, teenagers, youngmen or women ages, middle of our life and fate, such as the elderly and the end of our lives. Sometimes,it is also sad and there are turbulent or passions in our lives. This trio’s ensemble mede me to think about my life from the musics.

Bang my eyes opened as I leaped out of bed. I ran at full speed to my brother's room and woke Miguel up and screamed Happy Birthday to him. We went and changed and went on our iPads before our parents woke up. It was all a hurry as we looked like buzzing bees zooming through the house, at around 10 past 9 we ran out of the house full of eager and excitement. Sitting in the car, we drove along streets, highways and whinny roads but when I though we would ever make it to the horse riding we reached. I hopped out of the car ready to get on the Horse but realised the first group wasn't back yet. The three of us played basketball, got a helmet and got ready.
