Spring Band Concerts begin

5/6/04

The RHS String Ensemble and RHS Jazz Band presented an evening of delightful music on Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. The String Ensemble program featured early classics, then the modern "Fantasia for Strings", a unique duet of soprano voice (Lisa McAfee) and clarinet (Nathan Jenkins) accompanied by the strings for "Pie Jesu", a lovely piano/voice rendition of "How Beautiful" with seniors Whitney Carver's soprano and Samantha Cunningham's light touch on the piano, a reprise of "An Irish Party in Third Class" from Titanic, and the finale of "Mountain Spring", an arrangement from Barrage. Thanks Strings and Mr. Tapscott for a wonderful musical experience!

The Jazz Band livened up the rest of the evening with exciting selections such as "Birdland", "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", "Flip, Flop and Fly", "Baby Drives a Fast Car", "Mr. Super Hip", and "Achin' and Breakin' - which featured a sax solo from Mr. T himself!).

Monday evening (May 10 at 7 P.M.) will feature the RHS Concert and Symphonic Bands in their annual spring concert.
