However, this semester, Behrend’s Concert Band’s “An evening of Chamber Music” is not just for grandma. With their unique variety of pieces to be performed, this semester the band is taking a different approach to the concert. “Instead of using the full Concert Band as a whole, the band will be broken up into smaller chamber ensembles. Each ensemble group will range from four to nine people,” said Band Director Dr. Gary Viebranz. “All of our pieces will be performed this way, except for Lunch Buffet Everyday 11:30 am - 1:30 pm You Can Eat $ A QQ Pizza, Pasta 4 77 & Salad All All You Con Eat Pizza, Pasta & Salad *5 991*2.99 Adults CMdmi ages 4-10 ■■■■■mm um uu mm mm m■■mm mu mm hmm mm mm mm mm .mm v Large 1-Topping Pizza , Large 1-Topping Pizza Offer available on Ran and Thin ’n Crispy crust Oder available | Offer available on Pan and Thin ’n Crispy crust Offer available on dinein, carryout, or deßvoy orders.

For many, classical music all has the same sound. But Viebranz stresses each group’s individuality. “Every ensemble has its own distinctive sound providing a lot of variety to the listener," said Viebranz. This semester the band is try ing to cover a wider range of pieces and styles with the songs they are performing. One such piece by C.P.E. Bach, has a more offbeat style of classical music. “His music is more dance music than concert music,” said Viebranz.

It’s not a game; it’s not a class. It is very easy for student jour nalists to get pressured from a lot of sides on what they’re covering, especially by people who don’t see student press as journalism.” ger r sC ', , .A* ' -f
