I wanted to let everyone know how nice things sounded today. Keep up the good work, I'm sure the concert will be a blast!
All-Shore is always a blast!!!!
All Shore WAS a blast! I don't think I've ever heard it sound so good! The audience loved it! You should have heard them humming and whistling as they left!
I'm sure I speak for all of the directors when I say that I'm very very proud of all of you! You all have a very special gift. Some of my favorite moments were Pirates of the Carribean, Lexington March, and a Song for Friends. Song for Friends was very lyrical and it flowed like a dream!
The Senior Band was awesome as well. Such a big, symphonic sound! I really liked Take Me out to the Ball Game...it was very tight. In Times of Triumph brought tears to my eyes and even got a standing ovation! The audience loved it. And of course, Cheerio March was a hit!
Outstanding!
When will the recordings be on the web Mr. Matthews and where can I find them? All-Shore was great! It was an honor to be involved with such wonderful students and band directors :O)
All shore sounded so good last night that i didn't want it to stop!!!!!
I'll start working on that tonight.
Here are links to the recordings. I've zipped them up so you can download the concert in one file. If anyone needs any help, just let me know.
