The Exeter-Milligan Band and Choir showcased their talents
for a local audience on Monday, April 10 at the Exeter site gym.
The junior high choir started the evening off singing “The
Journey” and the popular tune, “Sweet Caroline.” After these two pieces,
the junior high girls chose to sing their on their own “Drag Me Down,” made
popular by One Direction.
This concert is the Pre-contest/Spring Concert and so the
audience was treated to several group performances scattered throughout the
evening. The first of these was a brass quintet performing “In the Hall
of the Mountain King,” before the trombone quartet presented “Gavotte and
Hornpipe.”
The High School Women’s Ensemble was joined by the junior
high choir to perform “Show Me the Way” which was made popular by the rock
group Styx.
On their own, the High School Women’s Ensemble did a
beautiful job on “Wings” and “The Violet,” before the percussion ensemble
performed “Trepak Dance.”
The Jazz Band at Exeter-Milligan doesn’t have the
opportunity to practice together much but they still managed to do an excellent
job with “Swing’s the Thing” and “Takin’ Care of Business.” Katherine
White and Patrick Murphy both had solos during “Swing’s the Thing,” and Anna
Sluka soloed during “Taking Care of Business.”
The Junior-Senior High Band performed a fun piece first, “In
the Mood,” and then shared their two contest pieces, “Brighton Beach” and
“Incantations.”
The Exeter-Milligan junior-senior high band members will
attend District Music contest April 20 and 21 in Sutton. On Thursday the
students will perform their individual and small group pieces and Friday the
concert band will perform.
Prior to Monday evenings concert, the students enjoyed a
band supper provided by the Exeter-Milligan Arts Boosters and their parents.
