MRHS Music DepartmentIntroductionOn March 31st, the annual MRHS Pops Concert was put on, and the talent showcased by the band and choir students completely blew all expectations. Between the impressive tracklist, stunning solos, and flawless group performances, the night was nothing short of amazing. Here’s a full breakdown of the show.
The ChorusThe chorus, split into select and combined groups, delivered breathtaking performances with songs such as I Want You Back/ABC, The Longest Time, and Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Britanya Bucknor's vocal rendition of Houston's iconic hit was striking in its precision. Each vocal section—sopranos, altos, bass, and tenors—contributed to a powerful and cohesive sound, reflecting an exceptional level of talent from high school performers.
The BandThe concert band brought timeless hits to life, performing Stayin' Alive, Stairway To Heaven, and Bohemian Rhapsody alongside the choir. From booming bass lines to the melodic tones of flutes and French horns, the band skillfully guided the audience through decades of musical nostalgia.
The SolosSolo performances became the evening’s highlight. Emory Hines delivered a heartfelt rendition of Dolly Parton's Jolene, building on a role from the recent MRHS production of 9 To 5. Thomas Marchio showcased guitar solos during Stairway To Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody, demonstrating technical prowess. However, Paul McLardy’s guitar solo during The Beatles' While My Guitar Gently Weeps, paired with Britanya Bucknor’s vocals and Simon MacBride’s drumming, delivered an emotionally charged performance that left a lasting impression.
ConclusionThe MRHS Pops Concert stood as a testament to the talent and dedication of its student performers. With recent productions such as 9 To 5 and the Winter Concert, MRHS continues to demonstrate excellence in the performing arts. The upcoming performance on Thursday, May 18, promises to be another memorable experience for audiences.
