Last Thursday Night the HF Band held a performance in the fine arts center. The HF Jazz Band opened the concert with an exciting piece called Brain Sprain. Then Holly Sybrant and Conor Romans each played a solo during the second song, Green Onions. Then during the Jazz bands final piece, Evil Ways Conor and Holly each soloed again. Senior Adam Borash spoke after the concert about the last few weeks of work paid off saying, "We worked a lot on staying together and articulating our notes during the last weeks of practice. I think we managed to do it during the concert." The Jazz band left the stage after their three pieces as the Jaguar Band came on. The Jaguar band began with a piece titled Excalibur and followed it up with Castles and Dragons, which featured a flute solo by Adriana Dematti. Band Director Emily Bengston noted that the Jaguar band played Castles and Dragons, "with great focus and contrast between the slow and fast parts of that piece." The Jaguar Band then finished their portion of the concert with the songs Barbarossa and All the King's Men. The final division of the concert was performed by the senior high concert band. They began with a piece titled Canto, followed by The Lord of the Dance which included a flute solo by Courtney Hart. They then played salvation is created. And to finish the concert Concert band played what Ms. Bengston called, "their strongest piece" Blue Ridge Saga. Bengston added, "[Blue Ridge Saga] was an excellent demonstration of their energy as an ensemble and their ability to play a variety of styles." Overall each ensemble performed well and ended the night successfully.
