High
Point University Band Concert
By Jarray Davis
On Monday, April 25, High Point
held their annual Spring Band Concert at the new amphitheater on the campus of
HPU.
With the nice sunset in the
horizons behind the playing of the band, the night was set for an amazing
occasion.
Under the leadership of Dr. Danny
Frye and his companion Dr. Brian Meixner, the band played a variety of genres
that including compositions from John Barnes Chance, Richard Saucedo, Ralph
Vaughan Williams and Michael Band.
With a band over 50 members strong
in number, released the sound of music so that the whole campus of High Point
University could hear and a sound that the filled amphitheater would enjoy for
the remainder of the night.
As the bass drum boomed and the
trumpets sang, smiles and applause were released throughout the audience for
the duration of the event.
With a proud president in Nido
Qubein sitting front row, the band made sure not to disappoint on their last
concert of the year.
To conclude the concert, the band
played “Pixar Movie Magic”, a fun piece that allows the mind to remember all
the fun Pixar movie songs that we used to love so much.
The High Point University Spring
Band Concert was one that brought excitement, fun and relaxation. The next
concert will take place next school year in the fall.
Duration: 1 hr 30 min
Directors: Dr. Danny Frye, Dr. Brian Meixner

ReplyDeleteHey Jarray! I think your blog topic is really awesome and interesting to read! With the current presidential election going on and with all the social channels that are around now vs what was around in 2012, I think that you're going to post some great posts!
