Thank you all [4:02] so much for being here. Really [4:04] appreciate seeing so many of you here in [4:06] the audience. It really makes a load of [4:08] difference for these students to see [4:09] that support in this auditorium. Up here [4:12] in front of you is our 9th grade, 10th [4:15] grade kind of mixed ensemble that we've [4:17] created this year. This year, all of our [4:19] orchestra students are in one class, 9 [4:22] through 12. So, what we've been doing a [4:24] little bit is kind of mixing and [4:25] matching some music. So, tonight you're [4:27] going to see a lot of different [4:28] ensembles. This is your first ensemble [4:30] this evening consisting of mainly 9th [4:32] graders and 10th graders. And then after [4:34] this group is done, we'll then have our [4:36] juniors and seniors sort of concert [4:39] group. And then I'd love to show you our [4:42] newest addition to our orchestra program [4:43] is going to be our chamber orchestra. [4:46] And then of course last but definitely [4:47] not least will be a combination of all [4:49] of the students performing together 9th [4:51] and 9th through 12th all together. Okay. [4:54] So thank you all so much for being here. [4:56] Again, we've got one more piece from our [4:58] 9 and 10 ensemble. Enjoy this next piece [5:00] called Eclipse. [5:58] Heat. Heat.

So, [11:43] All right, we are going to do a super [11:44] quick transition here. We are now taking [11:46] the 9inth and 10th graders. We are now [11:49] going to now take in, sorry, the 11th [11:52] and 12th graders for our next portion of [11:54] the concert. So, they're going to start [11:55] trickling in here in just a second. And [11:57] then we're going to get our next set [11:59] going. So, the next set is going to [12:01] include two pieces. One of which is [12:03] called Wired. Really fast, really [12:05] energetic, and a lot of fun to play. The [12:07] second one is kind of more of a [12:10] I don't know how you want to describe [12:11] it. There's a lot of neat qualities to [12:13] it. unique uh playing styles. We're [12:16] going to do tremolo with smooth bows, [12:19] some snap piticado. There will be some [12:21] auxiliary percussion as well. The second [12:23] one we're going to do in this set is [12:25] going to be called the evil eye and the [12:26] hideous heart. It is actually taken from [12:30] some of Edgar Allan Poe's writings to [12:33] then construct the music around. [12:38] All right, we're going to get this next [12:39] set up and running. We hope you enjoy [12:41] the juniors and seniors performance. [12:59] >> [music] [13:05] >> Heat. Heat. [13:07] [music] [13:45] >> [music] [13:48] >> Heat. Heat.

[22:51] [applause] [22:52] All [22:58] >> [applause] [23:14] >> right, I'll talk a little bit while we [23:16] do another transition. One thing you may [23:18] have noticed within this particular [23:20] group, even though I have mentioned that [23:22] it's a junior senior's group, you may [23:23] have noticed that some of our [23:25] underassmen, our freshman, sophomore [23:27] stuck around and they're still working [23:28] on this music. They've been working [23:30] really hard, they still wanted that [23:31] challenge and they're like, I can handle [23:33] it. So, they even were playing in that [23:35] group as well. So, as as I had mentioned [23:37] before, our classes are combined 912 and [23:40] just getting creative with how we're [23:42] just moving things around. So that is [23:44] giving those students that opportunity [23:45] or that chance or choice to work on that [23:48] harder music or even be like, you know [23:49] what, I'm not ready for this. I'm going [23:51] to take take a step back. So that's been [23:53] a really great opportunity for these [23:54] particular students. One thing I have [23:57] started this year is a before school [23:58] club. I know, gross. That's awful. 700 [24:01] a.m., but these kids are doing it. We [24:03] have one piece to perform for you today [24:06] after only five rehearsals. So this [24:09] music is tough. It's challenging, but [24:11] these kids wanted the opportunity for [24:14] something more. So, we've been coming to [24:16] school early and playing our [24:18] instruments. So, this next piece is [24:20] called Surge. It's one of my favorites. [24:22] It's a lot of fun to play. It's a lot of [24:23] fun to conduct, and it's a lot of fun to [24:25] hear as well. So, this one's going to be [24:27] really big, really boisterous, and just [24:29] really fun. I hope you like this piece. [24:32] It's called Search. [24:56] Heat. [25:01] [music] [25:09] [music] [25:11] Heat. [25:15] [music] [25:19] Heat. [25:23] [music] [25:24] Heat. [25:32] [music] [25:34] Heat. Heat. [25:40] [music] [25:54] [music] Heat. Heat. [26:00] [music] [26:15] Heat. [music] [26:21] [music] [26:30] [music] [26:31] Heat. [26:41] >> [music] [26:51] >> Heat. Heat. [music] [27:00] Heat. Heat. [27:14] [music] [27:20] [music] Heat. [27:26] [music] [27:33] [music] [27:34] Heat. [27:46] >> [music] [27:52] >> Heat. [27:55] Heat. [music] [28:00] [music] [28:06] >> [music] [28:16] >> Heat. Heat. [28:21] [music] [28:25] Heat. [music] [28:30] [music] [28:36] [music] [28:40] Heat. [28:50] >> [applause] [28:55] [applause] [29:06] [applause] [29:14] >> That was cool. So again, I will say that [29:16] one more time. They've only had five [29:17] rehearsals on that and they still pulled [29:20] that off. Really awesome stuff. All [29:22] right, I'm going to do a little bit more [29:24] chatting while we now get the full [29:26] ensemble back into the mix. 912 all [29:29] together, 45 students big. It is going [29:32] to be great. I'd like to give a really [29:34] big thank you again to all of you for [29:36] being here. Your support means so much [29:38] to these students and it's just amazing [29:40] to see as many people in here as [29:43] possible. If you don't have any family [29:45] members that are here, but you really [29:47] want to make sure that they see this [29:48] concert, this is being recorded and it [29:51] will be available to stream tomorrow. [29:53] So, I will be sending out that link to [29:55] anyone who would like to see it at a [29:57] later date. [30:07] Our next concert is going to be our [30:09] collage concert which will be happening [30:11] at the beginning of December. And that's [30:13] going to be our concert where we combine [30:15] with the band to do a big grandiose [30:18] orchestra band extravaganza if you will. [30:21] We will be playing from a lot of holiday [30:23] tunes that people are familiar with [30:25] including one very classic and familiar [30:27] sleigh ride. You can look forward to [30:29] that in our December concert happening [30:31] very very soon. Our last segment of this [30:34] concert is going to feature three [30:36] different pieces of music. two of which [30:38] are featuring our accompanist here this [30:41] evening which is Miss Sarah Lockwood. [30:43] Can we give her a big round of applause? [30:53] She'll come back on stage in just a [30:54] little bit. I also could not have done [30:56] any of this without the help of the [30:57] people in the booth, Miss Cara Anderson. [31:05] We also have the very fine folks who are [31:07] streaming it or recording it now to [31:09] stream later from HCTV, Mr. Mike Bramer, [31:12] I think is he's still here. [31:19] And of course, I could not do any of [31:20] this without the support of our admin. I [31:22] do believe our superintendent, Miss [31:23] Christine Workamp, are you here? There [31:26] she is. Thank you for being here. Thank [31:28] you for the support. [applause] [31:32] All right, without further ado, here is [31:34] our last segment of the concert. These [31:35] three pieces are going to wow and dazzle [31:37] you. I hope you enjoy. Thank you very [31:39] much. [32:14] >> [music] [32:17] >> Heat. [32:22] [music] [32:25] Heat.
