Some of his favorite songs are We Follow by From Indian Lakes, Swing Set by Moving Mountains, Hurricane by Gangs of Ballet, These Hands by Hearts like Lions, 680 South by The Story So Far, Cardiac Arrest by Bad Suns, Local Man Ruins Everything by The Wonder Years, Black and White By Seahaven, Thank you by Seahaven, Plague by Seahaven, Ghost by Seahaven, and Weathered Town by Hundredth. Some of his fondest memories revolve around seeing some of his favorite bands, like the time he saw The Story So Far. Another one of his favorite concert experiences is when he got to see Real Friends & Knuckle Puck.
Hayes also harmonized vocally with another singer, creating a very appealing texture. Another new idea for Hunter Hayes at the concert was trying improvisation on the electric guitar. He hasn’t done much of that in his music, so it helped create an astounding
I have to admit that this event was not my favorite. A singer that performed at Harborfest is Morris Day. He performed Jungle Love, The Walk and The Bird. He is a talented artist and his songs are eccentric, however, he is well before my time. The words are hard to follow but in spite of that, I was entertained.
I also believe that the audience responded very well to the concert, given the compliments the orchestra received afterwards and the thunderous
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.
When Rolling Loud came to Toronto, over 70,000 people attended across three
Guys and Dolls is one of the most memorable works by Frank Loesser. It features many standards used in the American Musical Theatre cannon today. The real draw is the script: based on stories by Damon Runyon and spruced up by ‘His Girl Friday’ scribe Ben Hecht, it strikes such a perfect blend of salty and sweet that it’s almost a shame when the band strikes up and the jazz hands come out. Brando is hulking charisma personified, scrawny Sinatra still has the most remarkable voice ever committed to two-channel audio, and the pastel-shaded, neon-lit sets are a marvel. Oh, and lest we forget, the two main characters are called Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit, which should give you some idea of the depth of deep cool we’re talking here, pops.
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.
"Misere" a great instrumental track that Martin recorded in 1995 for "The Meeting" disk, makes a pleasant return into the set list. Still included in this tour set list is the masterful Steven Wilson song Darkest Eyes. Martin did a great version of Robert Johnson 's Crossroads which he played with a mandolin. Also using the mandolin on "The Jig" which leads into a version of "Hymn 43" which was can be found on Martin 's disk "Away With Words" He covers his 40plus years tenour with Jethro Tull with some old favorites, dating back to the Mick Abrahams era "Love Story" a bit more bluesy than the original, and A Song For Jeffrey which to this day still really rocks along.
When someone goes to see a musical, the main thing they expect to hear is a catchy tune with beautiful vocals. Country Day School’s “The Drowsy Chaperone” had just that. A few performers who really stood out vocally were Alice Whisnant as Janet Van De Graaf, Alana Markel as Drowsy Chaperone, Chelsea Starr Jones as Trix the Aviatrix (who I wished we got to see more of), and Virginia Hart Touma as Kitty. These actresses and more accompanied some very upbeat and exciting songs, some of which were in my head for the rest of the day. My favorite was “Toledo Surprise”, with the exceptionally funny gangsters played by Charlie Gorelick and Hall McCurdy, however the song that impressed me the most was “Cold Feets”.
The Appalachian Symphony Orchestra performed, Celebration and Remembrance. The orchestra opened with Fanfare for the Common Man. Which was conducted by Mr. Smith. It was a great way to start off a World War II and Civil War Memorial concert. It was the opening piece and the orchestra was full of energy, and came out loud and with the bang.
On the day of Sunday April 10th, I went to a jazz ensemble concert at the Trinity University Ruth Taylor Recital Hall. This hall was much larger than the previous performance I attended. My first impression of the group was that they were relaxed and comfortable. For instance, when the drummer winked the drummer gave when the director explained his switch from the trumpet to drums.
With this hall being a decent size, the music really amplified through the venue. I felt as if I was listening to a recorded version of the performances, that’s how good it was. The audience must have felt the same way I did about the performances because at the end of the concert the musicians received a standing
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
I found it interesting that many of the groups were comprised of individuals of the same race or ethnicity- rarely did I see a group that was comprised of individuals of various races and
