Winter 2020 Edition
The annual Winter Concert was held a few weeks ago, and all of the students worked very hard to perform a wide variety of pieces ranging from King George to Radiohead’s “Creep”. The Pep Band, Concert Band, and Jazz Workshop were directed under Mr. Trombley. He was extremely proud to see how far each instrumentalists and vocalists have come since the beginning of the year. Mrs. Renner, who directs the Chamber Choir and Concert Choir, was “very pleased with the entire concert. It is always exciting to see all the hard work all the student musicians have put in come together for performance. It’s also exciting to see the growth from performance to performance.” Megan Paluzzi, the six-legged singer, agreed with Mrs. Renner, saying that she thought “it was one of the best repertoires for all the music groups in her time here at GHS.” The students in the Chamber Choir performed with body and percussion, teaching themselves the very complicated, yet intriguing, hand-percussion part. One student said she loves Vivaldi, and immensely enjoying the string chamber’s rendition of it. In addition, she loves how the kazoos in the concert choir added to the general dynamic to the concert. Another student, both in Chamber Choir and Concert Choir said that the Pentatonix/Fleet Foxes cover of “White Winter Hymnal” was her favorite part of the concert. She said that it is always fun to try something new, and she hopes they can keep trying new things for concerts in the future. Students from the band agree that Joe Rideout’s horse-snap and the triangle were great additions to the pieces performed. They can’t wait until the spring performance, where they will be performing several new pieces. Both Mr. Trombley, and Mrs. Renner, cannot wait for everyone to see what they are planning next.
