Festival Approaches
Coming up at the end of April will be our first ever Virtual Band and Orchestra Festival.
While we are used to packing the band up, loading up the trailer, and walking into Festival ready to blow the roof off, this year will look a bit different. Through a generous donation, we are in possession of some top-tier recording equipment, so we will pick a day in the two-week recording window, don our Tuxes, and record in the new band room. Our goal is to continue the streak of First Division Ratings that Hemlock has become accustomed to, while returning to the MSBOA. Our set list is Three Scottish Vistas by William Owens (check out the write up we did on the composer earlier this week) and Down by the Salley Garden by Michael Sweeney. Keep your eyes peeled for some rehearsal video, outtakes, and eventually final recordings. If you have any questions about this new and hopefully temporary format, or want to see any other types of content from us, comment below and let us know!
Kristen Opperman and Raquel Ledesma from Hemlock Semiconductor stopped by the Lockwood STEM Center for a visit Tuesday afternoon. HSC is a partner with Hemlock Public School District in promoting STEM education and high tech employment opportunities across the region.
Jazz Beautiful Mind Pt.1
Here in our first installment of JBM, we see the work it takes to compose and arrange music. The students came up with some cool licks based on the chord progression and the blues scale, and we figured out where they would fit best in the arrangement. What looks like a whole jumble of numbers, a twisted sudoku puzzle, a brain-leaking-out-of-your-ear mess, will turn out to be a really cool and completely original arrangement of a great standard that was done wholly by their own creativity. Stay tuned for more updates on this arrangement, from the next step of clean sheet music to the final recorded product! If you want to see more whiteboard messes and see the crazy amount of brain-power the jazz band is putting out, comment below and let us know!
