| Music Library Summer 2012 Staff |
If you've ever seen ANY video footage or advertisement for Interlochen, it will include a clip from Les Preludes. Traditionally (since the 1940s), the final concert of the summer includes the top high school bands playing this Liszt piece whilst the dance students dance on the pit and roof of Kresge (the main auditorium). It seems rather ceremonial and ridiculous to me, but I've heard it showcases well the talent of the students and the Festival Choir (who are singing Beethoven's 9th).
I am also going to be a fake Ensemble Librarian and help out with the event, because one of them has to leave early. Thus, I get to kind of have my 'day in the life' moment which I'd been yearning for since watching them all summer.
Getting to finish out the summer with the most stressful event? It's a bonding experience.
I have loved getting to work with all of these talented people. And I know this last week is going to be epic.
Bring it on, Les Preludes. I'm ready.
