Music 

Usually during this week we would be fine tuning our ensembles for live performances in the Simons Auditorium for Speech Day.  Performances for such notable and important formal occasions require far more of the student musician than just playing the right notes.  The poise and sense of purpose with which our musicians enter, command and exit the stage builds the atmosphere or reverence that reflects the pride we hold for our College, for its traditions, for those who established it in the past, those who build it in the present and for those who will take it into the future.

This week we have again been fine tuning those performances and our student musicians have had additional opportunities for learning thrust upon them.  As well as perfecting their musical control our students have become accustomed to recording and live simulcast rehearsal.  To capture their live performance in the Auditorium and send it to students watching in Mentor groups and parents and friends watching from their own devices, an array of recording technology, both audio and visual has been implemented.  Each player and each section, of each ensemble, has been individually tuned so that you may continue to experience the atmosphere of the live 2020 Speech Day.  For each student there is now a greater understanding of the process of working in the recording studio and on the live simulcast stage.
