School Concert Season Gifts

Welcome to the lower grade concert. We will premiere an avant garde song cycle with unexpected solos, parts of melodies that may seem vaguely familiar and musicians who leave the stage for no apparent reason. Enjoy!

"Just be yourself."

A Symphony of Penguins

'Nothing beats seeing your favourite band play live.'

"I wrote this next song about my cat. It's called 'Please stop rubbing your face against my computer screen when I'm trying to watch Narcos.'"

Felix Mendelssohn

"Well, that's the only song we know, so we can play it another two or three times, or we can cut our losses. Waddya say, Cleveland?"

Jazz quartet, piano, bass, sax and drums

'Why don't you ever look at ME that way?'

I love my Timpani

Yearbook

"10th Anniversary Woodstock Reunion'

At the rock concert...

'Smashing party, Miss - can we have another one tomorrow?'

"All I did this summer was go fishing, camping, bike riding, swimming, boating, and go the movies, carnivals, fairs, concerts and games. I'm bored."

Taking a peek at the audience

Tuning Up for the Air Guitar Competition

Piano and Pianist with broken legs.

Piano Recital

'I'm sorry I missed your recital. Daddy was on the phone with his broker, checking on bond yields. It's another form of bonding, son.'

"That's it, Tom. Here they come. Just keep playing 'Freebird.'"

'Man, times have changed.'

"This next one is my own quirky rendition of Berlioz's 'Symphonie Fantastique,' Movement 5, 'Dream of a Witches' Sabbath.'"

Allegro con molto espresso

"I remember him before he was getting hte winter fuel allowance."

"Can you speak up: there's a bloody racket going on in the background."

"I was going to play the Moonlight Sonata, but I forgot the key."
