Bryantville Elementary School Bands and Orchestras, June 4, 2013

 CLICK HERE to watch.

High School Freshman, John Henry O'Keefe filmed the June 4, 2013 band and orchestra portion of the Bryantville Elementary School annual Spring Concert in Pembroke, Massachusetts using a full high definition Panasonic video camera and fluid head tripod borrowed from Pembroke Community Media.

 

The event was held in the high school auditorium.

O'Keefe has been a videographer and editor with the all-volunteer group Pembroke Community Media since the dissolution of the Town's TV studio one year ago.

"Being at the concert brought back so many memories," O'Keefe said. "I started playing an instrument 4 years ago in the 5th grade, so listening to these bands made me realize just how much my group has progressed."

The 5th Grade Cadets start with "When the Saints Go Marching In," followed by "Theme from Beethoven's 9th Symphony" and "Jasper's Jump" which is a song by Director Dan Hawes.

Next up is is the 6th grade Concert Band with G M Cohan's "Yankee Doodle Dandy March" and Cold Play's "Paradise," both arranged and directed by Dan Hawes. "Paradise," one of the longer pieces at 2 minutes 25 seconds long, is especially well received by the applauding crowd of family and friends.

Bryantville Chorus Sings “Light a Little Candle.”

Bryantville Elementary students traveled to Pembroke High School's auditorium on December 18^th for their annual winter concert.  CLICK HERE for a 54-second clip that's well worth the “click.”

Our favorite part is the chorus's “Light a Little Candle” which moves, moves, moves as children bounce to the quick, haunting rhythm. “Blast away the trouble that keeps us apart. Light a little flame burning bright in your heart.”

Pembroke Community Media Center's full-length, edited version is the only version filmed by students, will NOT be on TV, and is available on DVD through Pembroke Association for the Performing Arts(PAPA).or phoning  781-910-8899.  Sound was adjusted for better sound than at the concert itself, and the colors are crisp and clear.

Again, these shows will NOT be on TV, and that's intentional because we at Pembroke Community Media Center want to raise money for the performing arts programs in Pembroke schools.

Many of our volunteers are involved in these music and theater programs either directly as students, parents, or teachers; or indirectly as members of the community. We live here.

I myself have three children who play instruments and sing at school, and want to keep the performing arts ball rolling forward.

You can phone me personally at 781-910-8899, and I will make sure you get your DVD without delay. The only time I won't answer the phone is 9:30 -11:30 am Sunday, and 7pm -9pm Monday when The 1st Church is holding services.

Thank you; remember to be nice to each other and Happy Holidays.
