The event was fun as I stepped off the stairs into the big gathering room of the Ed Center. There were hand made posters of Video-Concert Event, just as there were some large bowls of chips, dip, and candy. There some smiling faces sitting on the carpetted green floor. Anyway, in 10 minutes somebody clicked the on button on the projector, and from there we saw previous events during the Fall semester. I decided to stay for the Halloween Pops’ Concert Event.
I really liked what I saw about the Concert! There were throngs of costumed kids at the event! Some were fairies, sheriffs, little jedi.. you name it!
The musicians were greatly costumed as well!
But as it turned out, the conductors were also greatly costumed,too. One of them was a bear. Another was a cowgirl!
My favorite song which was performed was Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld!
Some of the kids were kicking it up in the form of a can-can towards the end of the song!
The others were March of the Little Goblins; The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Lever du Jour, Hoe Down, Liebestod, Overture to Ophelia in the Underworld,Queen Mab Scherzo, and Danse Bacchanale.
But my most favorite parts were when the director of the orchestra came out in a blonde wig and a very feminine voice ( I guess he was in drag..) and thanked all of us for coming! He even said, that many of the conductors go on to work in places like Carnegie Hall! It was astonishing to hear that! He also thanked the audience members for being there as a way for the conductors on them! Who knew..
My other most favorite part was when he yelled out, “And who are ya gonna call if you have ghosts.. Ghostbusters!”
Then all the conductors in Ghost-busting-grey-suits came in from the aisles and went to the stage. There they were dancing it up like none other! One of them even had ray-ban aviators on! Fun! It seemed like such a fun event! In sum, the concert was great!
After the video was done, I had a few more snacks and bid adieu to the other guests.
