MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT — Evan Sullivan, Duane Sullivan and David Butzer will be featured in the GI High School Fall Concert.
On Wednesday, November 4 at 7 p.m., the GI High School Music Department will present its annual fall concert. The concert will feature the High School Concert Band, Chorus and Orchestra and will be held in the High School’s Lyle G. Palmer auditorium. It is free and open to the public.
The concert will begin with the Concert Band under the direction of William Cocca. The band will begin with “Gallop,” a fast, witty and humorous composition by Alfred Reed. This will be followed by Johann Nils’s “Hungarian Rhapsody Anitschk.” Josh Nightingale, a student teacher from SUNY Fredonia, will direct this piece. Next will be Leroy Andersen’s “Bugler’s Holiday,” which will feature trumpet students David Butzer and Evan Sullivan, as well as GI alumnus Duane Sullivan. The band will close with Michael Sweeney’s “Rumble On The High Plains,” which will feature the percussion section.
The concert will continue with the Chorus under the direction of Julie Noeson. They will begin with “Sicut Locutus Est,” a traditional baroque fugue by J. S. Bach. Next will be a setting of Robert Burns’s “O My Luve’s Like A Red, Red Rose;” this will feature violinists Brian Arndt and Nolan Rappa, cellist Kelly Ratterman and pianist Chelsea Zalikowski. The chorus will end its portion of the program with Sweeney Todd, a choral medley based on Stephen Sondheim’s famous broadway musical. The medley includes “Pretty Women;” “Johanna;” “The Worst Pies in London;” and “Not While I’m Around” and will be accompanied by a large instrumental ensemble.
The Orchestra will then perform under the direction of Scott Roudebush. The string section will begin with “Presto” from Franz Joseph Haydn’s “Symphony No. 1 in D Major.” The full orchestra will then perform “Triptych,” a colorful, contemporary piece by Tommy J. Fry. The orchestra will close with Bill Holcombe’s arrangement of “Selections From Fame,” a medley of songs from the original 1980 motion picture. Selections include “Fame;” “Out Here On My Own;” “Hot Lunch Jam” and “I Sing The Body Electric.”
The high school’s two jazz bands will perform before the concert, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
