Two of the highlights of the spring are the concerts by the Curley choirs and bands. The instrumental ensembles celebrated with their concert on Friday, May 6.
The Percussion Ensemble and Advanced Percussion Ensemble combine drums, vibes and all manner of percussion instruments.
The Symphonic Band started its set with the challenging “Second Suite in F Major” by Gustav Holst and ended with a tribute medley to John Williams (arr. Paul Lavender.)
The Jazz Ensemble included in its set “Birk’s Works” by Dizzy Gillespie (arr. Mike Tomaro) and ended with “Samba Ti Kaye” by Mark Taylor.
