With a name like "Band Bash", you know it's going to be cool. Tomorrow, for the first time, Ms. Ugaki's Oak Canyon Junior High band and Mr. Winter's Orem Junior High band will join with the Timpanogos musicians and grace our ears with joyous sound in the large gym. The last band concert was nothing compared to what this performance will be. However, there will be several other opportunities to see the school band perform even besides this grand concert.
This is the first year this genius event has been planned. Luckily, Mr. Morris says it will continue. It truly is a special occasion to have the Timpanogos Symphonic Band, Wind Symphony, Concert Orchestra and Jazz band all performing in one big concert.
Junior Joe Rivest, who plays the trombone, says his favorite song is "Emblem of Unity". "It's the most upbeat. I can have the most fun with it." Joe explains that he likes band because "it's just fun to play music."
Junior violinist Scott Asay also said, "Being able to make music is fun." Scott says his favorite song is Danza by Vaclav Nelhybel. "It has a big sound. Each movement has its own mood, so it's not the same." Scott loves the variety. He loves band because it's fun to "be with people who are musical like you."
Mr. Morris has worked his brilliant instrumentalists through long hours of practice to make this occasion worthwhile. According to Mr. Morris, rehearsals have "gone pretty smooth so far." Make sure to come, enjoy and support them from 12-4 p.m. or 7-9:30 p.m. so you don't miss out. There's something in an instrumental song that's just different than lyrical music. There are no distractions. All you get is the beat and the instruments, and that's really all you need.
