On Thursday April 25, there was a combined middle school and high school orchestra concert. This was their last concert this year.
I asked Sofia Murteira , a sixth grader in Instrumental who plays the violin how she felt about the concert. “ I’m a little excited because it’s the last concert of the year, and that means I have no more after this one, but I’m also a tiny bit nervous because I’m worried that my little brother will shout my name while I’m playing,” Murteira said.
Instrumental has concerts with everybody, with all the people in Instrumental from both middle and high school. The whole orchestra plays together, not just one type of instrument.
“We don’t have concerts with just our instruments because it sounds better with all of them. Also if I had the option to choose between having a concert with just my instrument, or the orchestra. I would choose orchestra because it sounds better with everyone” Murteira said.
A few ways that Murteira prepares is by practicing at home, only when she feels like it sitting in the back while practicing at school, and playing in the orchestra. Murteira has been in three concerts at OSA already, so she already knows what it’s like to play in the orchestra.
When I asked Grace Triantafyllos ,a former jazz player, about her experience in the concert she said, “it was pretty bad because I had to play a solo, but everyone else did very good.”
At least 20 people played in her jazz concert. Triantafyllos was very nervous to be in the last jazz concert of the year because of her solo, and just being on stage made her nervous knowing that a bunch of people could be staring at her.
Although were in two different concerts, and in different years, they both had similar experiences, but with more participants in one.
