[4:01] >> Good afternoon everyone. 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.

[10:55] >> [applause]
[11:04] [applause]
[11:10] >> All right. 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.

[22:48] 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.

[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.
