The Boone High Orchestra, along with a select group of band students, are preparing for one of their final concerts of the year this week. With three different groups of students that all practice separately, days that are close to the night of the concert always prove to be hectic, as this may be the only time available for these students to practice all together.
“I think this concert will go well, like the rest of them, I’ve been practicing all of our songs and am excited for tonight. I bet all of the songs will go well, but I believe the “Halo Theme” will be the best,” sophomore Kheyvn Elsberry says.
To begin the concert, orchestra director David Swenson has sixth hour strings begin with a piece called “Folk Tune and Fiddle Dance” which features mainly upperclassmen students. Afterwards, Swenson plans to bring in the rest of his orchestra students along with a single percussion instrument to add onto the “Halo Theme”, which is a suite collection from the popular Halo video games. Following this, the rest of the selected band students will come out and join the orchestra in “Romanian Overture”, which will feature a small solo from senior violinist Adam Kraft. From there on the concert will commence with “I Dreamed a Dream” from the play Les Miserables, to which senior Kassandra Foltz will be singing. Finally, the Boone High strings and band will finish will a short piece called “Night on Bald Mountain”.
The concert will begin at 7:30 in the Boone High School auditorium this Tuesday night.
