Orchestra and Band
by Sophia
Every year there are two concerts for orchestra and band. The first one is the winter concert which is coming up very fast. The band and orchestra instructors have been very smart and careful about how this will happen. Although the size of the orchestra has slightly decreased. Right now, the plan is to make a video of all the students playing their songs, just like a normal concert. The songs orchestra will be playing are, ‘Twas the Moon in the Wintertime, Concerto in D, Snow is Falling, and Storm the Gates. Then the songs will be put together and posted on YouTube. Although, there may not be a live audience, at least the kids that practiced hard get to show off their talents. This year has changed for all of us, but the way we do things in orchestra are extremely different. Instead of practicing as one big group, we are split up into 3 different sections. This makes it hard to tweak the songs because one group could sound totally different than the other group.
