AHS Instrumental Music Spring Concert


ARROWHEAD HIGH SCHOOL
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
SPRING CONCERT

You are cordially invited to our Instrumental Music Spring Concert on Thursday, May 23rd, at 7:00pm (North Theater). We will be celebrating our seniors' last performance and announcing winners of our music awards. In addition, our groups will be featuring some very important pieces! 

The Wind Ensemble is giving the premiere performance of the commissioned piece "So Many Tomorrows" by Clint Needham. This is a piece specifically written for the Arrowhead Wind Ensemble and it will be its first performance for an audience under the baton of Jacob Polancich. 

The Symphonic Band is performing a unique piece in the music world entitled "Paper Cut." This piece is written for band, electronic sounds, and PAPER. Students had the privilege of skyping with the composer of this piece and she demonstrated the techniques of "playing" paper for this piece.
Combining the sounds with black-lights on stage will make for a very memorable performance. To get a sense of the piece, you can watch a clip from another school's performance

And lastly, Chamber Strings will be playing a variety of wonderful pieces, including a special Brazilian Drum break during their song "Tico Tico." 
We hope you can share this special night of music with our families and students as we bid our seniors a fond farewell.
