Spanish Fork High School Plays for Others

On March 16th, Spanish Fork High School’s Band and Orchestra’s will be holding a Benefit Concert for the Red Cross. The Band Presidency, with senior Taylor Allred as President, decided to have a benefit concert to donate to others around the world, especially in light of the many disasters recently, settling on the Red Cross as the recipient of any money collected. Playing their festival pieces, performances will include the Jazz Band, Concert Band, Chamber Orchestra, Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Symphonic Orchestra. The Art Department will also be having a display in the commons for visitors to look at before and during the intermission of the concert. Guests will have a chance to see some of SFHS’s Fine Arts firsthand. Students have been working on their concert pieces for months, practicing and polishing since after Christmas. Selections include: “The Washington Post March”, “Chorus Angelorum”, “Sonata for Strings”, “Academic Festival”, “Procession of the Sardar”, “Ghosts of Brandenburg”, “A Night in Tunisia”, and” I Don’t Stand a Ghost of a Chance With You”, each piece challenging and teaching the students about different types of music. The Spanish Fork Jazz Band recently participated in the Region Jazz Festival on March 3rd. The Orchestra’s will be performing at Region on March 24th. Later in the month, SFHS will be hosting Region Concert Band on March 31st. The Benefit Concert will be on March 16th at 6:00 pm in the Spanish Fork High School’s auditorium. The concert is free, but donations for the Red Cross will gladly be accepted throughout the meeting.
