David Boyce: Concert Report

527 Words3 Pages

For the concert performance I went to go see David Boyce playing with Scott Foster Quartet and they played songs composed by Joe Henderson; such as Recorda Me and Y Todavia la Quiero. All the pieces that were played were amazing some that were a slow paced but with amazing rhythm while some fast paced that made me tap my toe and shake my head out of enjoyment; both with beautiful music. While the band played Recorda Me, they really emphasized the soprano sax despite that every instrument had their own part as background. The tempo of the song was a medium tempo it was not extremely fast or slow. Then the unity and variety of the band was great not everyone was playing the same bar but all added something to the song. Despite they played unique parts, they also had some segments …show more content…

Personally I think that David Boyce, the soprano sax player, brought the performance alive. For me he stood out the most during the concert he seemed to bring so much energy to the band as he played. When he would play certain parts, in Recorda Me, he would look so passionate as he played; despite David Boyce doing an amazing job everyone in the band played extremely well. They all kept a tremendous rhythm it was never lost during the performance. As well as the melody being profoundly sleek, it felt like everything like it belong in the piece there were no awkward transitions or sections in the song. Then the harmony in the song was well kept throughout, they would sometimes sound like one then would go play their other parts occasionally. When I went to the bookstore that was holding the concert, I did not expect it to be as small as it was. Expecting something like a Barns&Nobles but then seeing something that is the size of my kitchen and living room

I know I have been pulled up on stage to sing Okeechobee Whisky a time or two. The performers are all in tune and in step as a typical rock band would be. The other band members feed off of Greg’s energy that he extracts from the crowd. The more the crowd participates the more fun Greg and the band have performing. The band seems to get in sync with the crowd and the performance is driven by the band and the crowd together.

My first impression of him was that he was a talented individual with a lot of musical potential. After sunny plays his song he comes to the bar and I give him a compliment on his playing.

The fact that people could actually sing like that and all of the different special effects and scene changes were happening right in front of my eyes got me hooked. I am sure that is a similar story to many other peoples. Andrew Lloyd Webber changed the way the general public responded to live theatre. He had the world hooked on the beautiful melodies as well as the intriguing story lines. I think he is the reason many people began theatre in the first place.

I was surprised that there was no piano member in the band because most bands have a piano player in the there band and usually the piano are supposed to be the melody. I guess this makes them unique by not having a piano player. It was my first time hearing melodies that almost don’t sound like Hmong music, which it grabs my attention to support them in the

Well not really, the farm had holes in the fence and was in no shape for a 100,000 capacity. The stage was barley getting finished before people started slipping in through the fences. So many people did this that it was to much of a hassle to make them leave, 50,000 to be specific. This left the organizers with some problems, make the concert free or try and force 50,000 people to cough up cash. They went for the former.

They were playing their parts as they were singing even if they were playing in the East Wing than on a stage. Through their performance they were enjoying singing and made the music more interesting than a boring history lesson. You could tell they were enthusiastic through the energy shown through their performance. The vocals were dynamic and when the cast was singing louder it was easier to identify the important messages. By rapping louder, Miranda says “ I’m not throwing away my shot” he uses hand gestures showing that he is taking a stand playing his part as Alexander Hamilton.

Due to their increased experience, these bands played more challenging music than the previous group. My favorite piece of the entire concert—MacArthur Park—was played by Brazoswood High School’s PM Jazz Band. Featuring a heavy trumpet lead played by Wayne Bergeron, MacArthur Park was in tune from beginning to end—despite being played almost exclusively in the upper register. The high notes played by Bergeron and the trumpet section were extremely well tuned and devoid of any of the screeches that frequently occur as a side effect of high notes. Although my favorite piece was MacArthur Park, I thought the most striking moment of the entire concert was when the lead trumpet from Brazoswood High School’s AM Jazz Band moved to the front of the stage and played alongside Bergeron during Bright Moments—matching him almost pitch for pitch.

I had been in band from fifth grade through high school so even just hearing an ensemble sound again was amazing as I miss band very much. I also really enjoyed The Swan Lake Suite as it has been one of my favorite pieces since I was little, so it was also really nice to hear something that I already knew a little of how it would go. The orchestra sounded amazing and I am also good friends with one of the bassoon players so it was neat that one of our concerts to choose from had someone I knew in it. It was so interesting to hear all of the elements we have been discussing in class, actually in person and it was helpful that I was in band throughout school
