B-CC’s annual winter concert is scheduled to take place on Dec. 12-15, showcasing the talent of B-CC’s music department. Evening concerts will be held on Dec. 12 and 14 in the auditorium. Every student will have the opportunity to view the concert at the in-school assembly on Dec. 15 during second period.
The music department has 10 different ensembles, each performing two to three pieces. For instance, the Philharmonic Orchestra will perform two compositions, including the “Dans Negre” and “Oberon Overture.”
Sophomore Naomi Hashimoto, a participant in Orchestra, shared, “I am really excited. I like being able to showcase all of the work put into a piece. [We] mostly have been practicing and working non-stop, especially in the days leading up to the concert.”
All ensembles go through intense preparations in advance of the performance. Junior Katie Mao, also in the Orchestra, said, “In class, we have gone through each piece thoroughly to see where our weak spots are and try to improve them.” Mr. Fowler, a B-CC band teacher, added, “It is important to keep the students practicing and rehearsing, so we can put on a good show.”
The show is sure to be a fun experience, whether you see it in the evening or during the school day, but we recommend checking it out at some point next week.
