After a successful spring concert in March, all of Gleneagle’s bands and performance groups , led by Edward Trovato, music teacher, are back on June 15 in the MPR with the year-end concert. The junior and senior concert bands, concert choir, vocal jazz and jazz band are going to perform a variety of music for the audience. Everything from classic big band tunes to pop tunes and more. There will also be the Mission Impossible and Spider-man themes. The performers can enjoy a 100% capacity audience this summer, after two years since COVID-19. There are no more COVID-19 restrictions which could limit the concert and the audience. The last concert in March had a 50% capacity, but now everyone can enjoy an evening full of music.
“I’m very excited for the concert. I love the concerts. It’s always so much fun to play with my friends on stage,” said Sarina Samadi, grade 10, who has been in the choir since last September. “Especially now that covid is getting better and people can watch us live.”
After the last spring concert in March, which was a big success, Trovato and the students think the yearend concert is also going to be a success.
“It is going to be a success; it’s always been a success; even if it’s not, we don’t care, what matters is that we gain the experience we needed and we just had fun with our friends playing,” said Sarina.
The school year is coming to an end; everyone gets excited for the summer break and for the upcoming events. “The junior band’s been working hard and making great progress. I’m looking forward to seeing all the groups perform,” said Tida Ghorbani, grade 10.
Also, Trovato thinks that the students are working hard. “I’ve noticed that the students are getting excited. We’re just a couple weeks away and I’m starting to see energy and excitement,” said Trovato. “The students are ready.”
Trovato hopes that they will have a completely sold out audience for the year-end concert.
