Collegiate Staff Writer
GRCC Music Department put
on a special performance for the
60th Anniversary of Musical Moods.
In 1948 Albert P. Smith
“Smitty,” head of the Music
Department began the tradition
of musical ensemble. The night
featured all of the different
ensembles from the Department.
It was an end of the semester final
performance.
President Juan Oliverez said,
“It’s always nice. Faculty and
students always do a good job. I
enjoy it every year. It’s marvelous
to see students share their talents.”
The night started with the
Mariachi ensemble. Ashley
Zentmeyer and Gideon Whitehead
playing “Come Again” followed
spiced up the concert while they
played “South of the Boarder.”
The Madrigal Singers dressed
in costumes to set the mood for
their song, “Vago augelletto che
cantando vai.” There was a special
act from Deonna Cattiledge and
Friends Vocal Group performing
“Get It Together.”
Jonathon Lovegrove’s solo
showed off his talent when he sang
“Avant de quitter ces lieux.” The
Guitar Ensemble followed with
“Morenito Do Brazil” and the
Chamber Orchestra performing
Medieval Legend.
The Saxophone Quartet
turned the crowd around, literally.
They played their song “Andante
et Scherzo” at the back of the
auditorium.
Between acts, President
and “Smitty” took the stage to
present awards. When “Smitty”
took the stage, the crowd was on
their feet and clapping before he
even got to the podium.
Several students and faculty
were recognized for their
accomplishments. Former president
Richard Calkins received the
Albert P. Smith award for his
accomplishments in the music
program. Upon getting the award
Calkins said, “What a thrill is it to
listen to intergenerational music.”
There were five awards given
to students of the program. Student
and saxophonist Michael Robinson
received the instrumental music
award.
John Lovegrove and David
Harwood both received the
vocal leadership award. Guitarist
Matthew Berrios and pianist John
academic scholarship award.
After awards were given out,
Michael Robinson played “The
Carnival of Venice” and blew the
audience away with his talent.
The College Choir performed
“Shenandoah” followed by the Jazz
Orchestra playing “Step Right Up,”
Katherin Jannakos and Erin
Wall then performed “Sous le dome
pais” followed by Shades of Blue
Singing “Stolen Moments”. The
Wind Ensemble then performed “La
Fiesta Mexicana.
In honor of Smitty he
conducted the ensemble in its
final piece, “Battle Hymn of
the Republic,” where all of the
ensembles combined and alumni
joined in. The night ended with
combined ensembles along with
alumni and the audience singing
“Alma Mater.”
