I recently went to a Grace M. Davis Dance Concert. It was an incredible experience and also very enjoyable. I really liked their choreography and their performance.One of the things that I learned from this experience is that hard work always pays off. If you work hard and put your mind into something, then everything is possible. If you watch those dancers dance, a person can think that they came to this point in couple days and very easily. However, they worked years to become good and skilled

It was an average October night for me while living the college life, sitting in my room cramming for as many exams and essays as possible while listening to Frédéric Chopin’s Op. 9 No. 2 on my iPod.

A quick Google search led me to Tchaikovsky’s Fifth, a symphony that I have been fond

The Christmas concert I went to was amazing. My parents went with me and we sat on the track going around the gym so that we could get a good view of everything. The concert started out with the choir singing Veni, Veni, Emmanuel. Darrell explained that it was actually a chant.

The performer who I am going to be focusing on within this piece will be Dana Cordy, with the main focus being her work within the scene, Grass. The reason that I chose this scene to be the focus of this paper is that it was one of the few scenes which I was able to watch fairly consistently, which allowed me to better pick up any subtleties that the performers may have put into their work. Within this scene alone, Dana clearly demonstrated her observational skills and her overall contribution to

"Set!" As I heard my conducting drum major call out, I quickly stood to attention and took a knee. With my back ever so straight, I held my clarinet a couple of inches from my face, as it was standard procedure. Everyone was quiet and focused. As we waited for our cue on when to begin, we were already mentally counting and calculating where we needed to go and when. We all had our focus points to help us out. Mine was a saxophone player who was directly across from me.as I waited for our conducting
