Band Concert Evaluation

Author's Note: This is an essay evaluation about the seventh and eighth grade band concert on March 6, 2013 in the Pewaukee High School's new auditorium. 

The seventh and eighth grade band performance at the Pewaukee High School’s new auditorium on March 6, 2013. In the big picture, I think that both of the bands did a really good job throughout the entire performance. 

The first portion of the concert was done marvelously by the seventh grade band playing their 5 songs.  All the way through this portion of the concert the seventh grade band did an excellent job with their dynamics, intonation and many more things. Their songs were with many different sounds and emotions making me want to get out of my chair and dance.

Right away my ears tuned into the jazz band with their sassy sounds and musical enthusiasm. I thought it was especially cool when certain musicians could play different instruments. Such as the tuba player, Drew Godsel, could also play the drum set particularly well. Also the dynamics were excellent for this instrumentation as well.

During the eight grade bands performance I was really intrigued by the different sounds they made with their mouths during the song The Great Locomotive.  The different sounds and noises were very well choreographed and done well by everyone.   Throughout the different pieces in the eighth grade segment of the concert I could really hear all of the different sections and the dynamics that the different sections were playing.

In the long run, I think the entire band concert was fantastically put together.  All three of the bands were fantastic and sounded really well together.  On the other hand, both of the bands could have done a bit more of counting.  However, the song selection was awesome. I could really hear the emotions through the songs.
