On November 17 at 8 pm, I went to a Wind Symphony concert that was hosted by the Fine Arts department. When I first got there, I had to wait in a line to get my ticket which cost 6 dollars. After this, I was able to go find my seat. This event was packed so it was difficult to find a seat. Following this, I had to wait for a couple minutes for the concert to start. There was excitement on the room for the concert to start. Everyone was really excited for this event because this is one of the tops bands at Illinois State University. When the concert finally started, the first song that they played was Sea Dreams. When they started this song, it started with a lot of energy. Everyone was happy that this song started out well. As they played the song, there were a lot of musical rhythms and a lot of dynamic changes. There was two French Horn soloist for this song and as they were played they did an outstanding job presenting the song. After the song was over, everyone starting clapping because they enjoyed the first song. This song was about 30 minutes long. After the clapping died down, the next song called Symphony No. 9 started up. They performed this song extraordinarily well. There were a lot of movements that they performed in this song. They had fast, slow, exciting, and sad sounding movements in this song. This song lasted about an hour and ten minutes. After this song ended, everyone stood up and applauded for about ten minutes. Everyone enjoyed this song because the band did such an outstanding job. I was pleased with this concert because i enjoyed all of this music and they did an outstanding job with this. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys music or who likes listening to bands.
