Monday, December 18th was the annual Central York Middle School Orchestra and Band Concert. The music was an incredible mix of songs. It was so good that it left me speechless. I could do nothing but stand and listen to the beautiful sound of our music. The Orchestra was amazing, and the Band stunned me with their performance (like they always do). The combined orchestra performance was also a wonderful blend of music, with a unique contrast of sound and a variety of songs. It is amazing how they can go from one very slow song to a very fast one without missing a beat. It was great to see all our hard work pay off. Being a member of the Select Strings section, I personally know how much time and effort it takes to prepare. Both the Band and Orchestra had many hours of committed practice every week. Mr. Curry (the orchestra teacher) is always helping and pushing both ensembles to do their very best. When it came time for the Select Strings piece, our timing was extraordinary. My favorite was “A La Media Noche.” It is a Puerto Rican song and a very interesting piece. In it you can really hear the Puerto Rican influences and the pulse of the music. As the holidays draw closer, Mr. Curry was planning on another performance that would include the Select Strings, CYMS Band, and the CYMS Chorus. I would be thrilled to once again play any of those songs. I also look forward to another occasion when I can hear the Band and Chorus perform.
