On Saturday night in the Seycove gym you would have seen that it was totally transformed into Bourbon Street, this was because all the Jazz sections were performing. This was an amazing night and everyone played great. I also did a solo in one of the songs which I was really nervous for but then once it was done felt good about it.
Here is the song I soloed in
Overall I loved it and can’t wait till next year to do it all again!
On Saturday May 7th at the VSO there was a concert called Broadway Rocks going on. This was 3 singers called LaKisha Jones, Christiane Noll and Rob Evan. Along with them was the symphony and the UBC choir. This was amazing to listen to and the orpheum is always an amazing -place to see a show. And even better Seycove got 50 free tickets to it from London Drugs so it was all free! With those tickets London Drugs gave us the opportunity to meet the conductor Steven Reineke who is from New York, the second trumpet player and the bassoon player.
Some of the things they played/sung were from Hairspray, Mama Mia, The phantom of the Opera, the Jersey boys and many more musical peices.
This was great to see and experience and I can’t wait until I get to see another live concert!
This week or rather my whole life I have listened to music whether it is in the car or at home. I am surrounded by it. I have been going to concerts since an early age. Now the music I like to listen to ranges from indie to classical though I am not a huge fan of heavy metal or top 40 pop music. Sorry to all of those who do. The music I like is both old and new for example I like Louis Armstrong but then I also like Lorde and also lots of other bands and artists as well. My family also loves music we never stop playing it in our house, it is always the first thing to go on in the morning and the last thing to go off at night. Currently I have been listening to a lot of Lorde, I like some of her older pieces like the song Royals. I find that the lead singer Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor or also simply known as Lorde has a great voice. Here is her song Royals hope you like it too!
Bye for now!
