Last night my daughter's HS music dept. had a concert with all the vocal and instrumental groups performing. Live music once again recalibrated my perspective that recreating music in the home is but a facsimile of the absolute sound. The dynamics and explosiveness of the adv. jazz band, the concert band, the symphony, and especially the percussion ensemble were incredible. The symphony played the "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme and all I can say is wow. The PE played and staged out a piece call "Chasing Clouds" that really let you know that drums are incredibly dynamic. The choirs, especially the girls' groups were so airy and delicate that some of the pieces literally took your breath away. The kid's are all excellent musicians and give me hope that non-popular music will have a bright future.
I recommend a regular recalibration for all of us. It will put what we spend so much time and money on into perspective
