On Tuesday October 7th, West Boca’s Wind Ensemble went to FAU to perform a variety of pieces that they have been preparing since the beginning of the school year! This was not an easy task due to the short amount of time until this performance, however, the Wind Ensemble did not let this be a reason for them to back away from playing challenging music.
In reality, this concert has been planned for almost exactly a year, as Wind Ensemble was planning to perform this exact concert last year. However, due to Hurricane Milton, it unfortunately got cancelled. West Boca’s conductor, Larry Shane, was determined to make this performance happen regardless of the obstacles. With the help of FAU’s director, Dr. Prescott, everything worked out, and anticipation was built up for this concert to finally happen!
With multiple rehearsals completed, West Boca’s Wind Ensemble was ready to perform! The band arrived at FAU at 5 PM to rehearse their music and to also hear FAU’s wind ensemble’s rehearsal since they would also be performing that night. As one of the performers, it was incredibly fascinating to see so many dedicated musicians on the same stage, and West Boca was even able to see our alumni who now play at FAU!…
