On Monday, December 7, the music department will present its annual Middle and Upper School Winter Instrumental Music Concert. The event is at 6:30 PM in the Paul R. Cramer Center for the Arts, in the Lora M. Robins Theater, and is free.
The Jazz Band will perform a variety of genres, including the New Orleans traditional jazz of “Second Line,” rhythm and blues with “Green Onions,” and Henry Mancini’s jazzy theme from “The Pink Panther.” This group will also perform a dance mix of tunes by Earth, Wind, and Fire.
This will be followed by the Eighth Grade and Upper School Concert Band playing music for the holidays that includes the concert band medley “Twas the Night Before…” and “Somewhere in My Memory”, the John Williams classic tune from the movie Home Alone.
The concert will conclude with a performance by the Steward Eclectic Ensemble Concert Band that combines the talents of all our middle and upper school instrumentalists. These selections will include Randall Standridge’s “Upbeat!” and Scott Watson’s “Gotham Nights.”
