6th period 7th grade orchestra

The Wednesday before break we had a bagel party. The bagels, in our opinion, were scrumptiously tasty, and fantastic-ly delicious. Especially the cinnamon ones. In actual orchestra class, we have been working on our pieces for the next concert and solo ensemble. Some of the pieces are rather challenging, but we are sure that everyone will end up overcoming this obstacle and performing their pieces amazingly spectacularesque. Among the pieces we will be performing as a group are “Arethusa” the story of a naval battle on the sea. The drum adds beautiful tempo and the triangle gives the song a little extra “ping”. Another one is “Nobody Knows” a southern spiritual that is described as both joyous and hopeful and sorrowful, joyful that the slaves will be rescued, and sorrow that they are suffering so. This has been another blog entry by Hazel Winters and Arizona

7th grade 2nd period orchestra

These past few weeks we have been working on our chamber music, in small groups and solos. Besides that we’ve been working on our concert pieces: Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen, and Arethusa. Also the black day students have been working on the piece called Ahlan Sabaya Altarah as well as Tuxedo Junction. These pieces are harder than the ones from our last concert, and our standards have been raised since the 2010 concert. We hope our pieces will be perfect by the time of our concert! Wish us luck!!!!!
