The CHS Concert Band, Symphonic Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony held their winter concert Dec. 8.

The Concert Band performed two songs while the Symphonic Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony both performed three songs. Songs performed included “The Cave you Fear” by Michael Markowski, played by the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, “Phasing Thunder” by Brian Balmages, played by the Symphonic Wind Ensemble and “Purple Whispers” by Richard Saucedo played by Wind Symphony.

Conductor Kristofer Sanz dedicated the Wind Symphony’s first song to all the victims of recent tragedies and to all the students in the room, because according to him, they are the future.

“I really loved the song ‘Purple Whispers’ by Richard L. Saucedo,” senior tuba player Jacob Cooper said. “This song was really interesting because it started and ended with the entire band whispering a poem rather than instruments.”
