On Wednesday, April 22, 2015, the Pewaukee High School Bands - Concert Band and Symphonic Band- performed at the High School. All of the pieces were either composed or arranged by Wisconsin musicians. Waves of sound filled the auditorium with beautiful sounds that made the audience want to move along with the music.
Although the tone of the very first note played in the concert, which was during the piece “Couple O’Chunes”, was wobbly with bad intonation, it blossomed into a lively, energetic piece with no further intonation errors. The Concert Band piece, “Patrick on the Railway”, sounded like a variation of “The Ants go Marching In”, bringing the audience back to their childhood and producing a feeling of nostalgia. “Different Voices”, performed by Concert Band, brought attention to the different sounds that can be produced using our instruments, voices, and tapping instead of the usual instrument playing methods. After every piece performed by the large ensembles, a piece was performed by a small ensemble, bringing variety to the auditorium, so the audience could get a feel for what the different instruments sounded apart from the big group. Flute choir’s piece “Toccata” opened up very flowy with slurs plus crescendos and decrescendos, then opened up into a fun, bouncy piece.
In general, the performers seemed to be very prepared and maintained correct posture throughout the performance. However, the biggest things that could be improved throughout the ensemble are balance and intonation. For the most part, balance and intonation were alright, but when they weren’t alright, the contrasting sounds pierced the audience’s eardrums. If all of the balance and intonation issues were worked out, the performance would have sounded even more lovely and pleasing to the ears. Overall, the concert was a gorgeous combination of music performed by extremely talented young musicians.
