Final Blog Post :'(

This was a very sad concert for me because it was my last one, but it was a fantastic performance overall. I think we have made a ton of progress as a group, and we had so much fun when we were playing . Our pieces all sounded great, and I think our sound quality/intonation has gotten so much better since the beginning of the year. The musicians in this Orchestra are all very talented and I think  that this particular group works together very well and I hope they stick together. As for the actual concert, I think that we were very well prepared and had a wonderful and fulfilling last concert. American idiot sounded great as our last piece, and the odyssey  was a perfect opening to our concert. The order of the pieces was perfect, and I think that we all stayed together and looked up for the most part. I won't say we could have done better, because we put so much work into this final concert and I am sure that everyone put their best efforts into it. It has been a privilege and an honor to have been a part of this orchestra for the past two years, and I will certainly be looking forward to rejoining hopefully as a member of symphony in my senior year.

Concert Order

I think that for our concert, we need to be sure to make a dramatic and lasting impact on the audience so that we leave a lasting impression for a great deal of time. The pieces that come one after another should definitely be contrasting, such as willy wonks and the river flows in you. Our concert will start with the Odessey, and that is a perfect introduction piece because of its grace and power. The next piece should be the river flows in you, as it is very relaxing and we will already have the audiences undivided attention from our opening piece. After that, we should play willy wonks because it is also very upbeat and differs dramatically from the river flows in you and will perk up the audience right away. After that, we should go straight into the evil eye and the hideous heart, because that piece is also attention grabbing and creepy. It will certainly perk up the audience and hold their attention for the rest of the concert. Our last piece is already decided as American Idiot, and that is perfect to end the concert and also to end our year together, because it showcases how much we have grown as an orchestra together.
