The gym was darkened, a
spotlight appeared and swept the
audience at the Nucla High
School Band began its' rendition
of "Can't Turn You Loose." The
lights came up and friend and
families applauded the sight of
the members decked in their
"Blues Brothers" dark glasses
and hats. The crowd kept clap-
ping in time to the music as the
jazzy number continued.
Thus began the fabulously
successful, one hour and forty-
five minute concert directed by
Earl Gryils, music instructor for
the Naturita Middle School and
Nucla High School on Tuesday,
May 11, 1999.
Mr. Grylls wanted to "set
precedent, to present something
that hadn't been done before and
to use all of the talent at his dis-
posal." Receiving three stand-
ing ovations, it is safe to attest to
his success in this endeavor.
Interspersing the middle and
high school bands with the choir
and local rock band provided a
lively, and entertaining evening.
Ruth Duffy, college English
instructor at NHS, commented,
"The concert was fabulous!
There was something for every-
one. What a variety of genres:
rock, jazz, classical, marching
band, and even cowboy! I par-
ticularly enjoyed the choir's ren-
dition of "Dry Your Tears,
Afrika," from the film
'Amistad'."
Indeed, a rich repertoire of
music was presented for the
community's enjoyment. The
sixth grade band presented
"Stars and Stripes Forever" as
well as "The Thunderer" and
exited playing "Row "Your
Boat." The NMS Concert Band
performed "Circus March
Medley" as well as themes from
"New World." The NHS
Concert Band kept toes tapping
and hands clapping with jazzy
numbers, "Funky Town" and
"Walk Like an Egyptian."
Those with more classical tastes
enjoyed "Aventura" by Frank
Swearingen. The NHS Choir
performed beautifully the a
capella number, "Cantate
Domino." "Tico, Tico," 9¢ith
solo spots for C.R. Dobbs, was a
crowd pleaser. Soprano, Jessica
Davis, belted out the solo part of
"All by Myself," again proving
her vocal skills. The male choir
donned their cowboy hats and
attitudes to perform the cowboy
ballad "Ranch at Twilight."
After the concert, Mr. Grylls
applauded the success of the
band and choir. "The kids
played and sang their hearts out.
They gave 1,000 percent. I
especially appreciate the effort
put forth by the solo players,
Amber Robuck, NHS clarinetist;
Ryan Sandefur, NHS trumpeter;
Kori Files, 6th grade drummer;
and Autumn Boss, NMS
Concert Band drummer."
During the first half of the
concert, Mr. Grylls and accom-
panist, Beverly Bouwkamp,
were presented with gifts.
"When Mr. Grylls came during
our sophomore year, the band
was in chaos. He brought us dis-
cipline and helped us to build
the program," announced Matt
Mendisco, senior band represen-
tative.
Mr. Grylls acknowledges that
the program was not easy to
build. The members lacked cer-
tain fundamental skills such as
scale knowledge and were slow
to put their trust in yet another
instructor with another vision,
but he could tell that they want-
ed to be challenged. Although
his discipline style has come
under scrutiny, he firmly
believes that it is impossible to
teach without discipline.
Freshman band members
Amber Robuck and Caroline
Moyer state that Mr. Grylls is
able to achieve high levels of
success with his unique leader-
ship style by combining strict
discipline with a great sense of
humor. They also believe that
the band's small size enables
them to receive individualized
attention, thus speeding their
personal progress.
Choir/ band member, C.R.
Dobbs attested to Mr. Grylls
willingness to include the stu-
dents in the planning of the con-
cert and was pleased when he
invited their band, Emmissary
Blues, to participate in the con-
cert. The group rocked the
house with "Crazy Little Thing
Called Love."
After the undisputed success
of the concert, should the school
be prepared for increased inter-
est in the music program? Dana
Hammond, NHS sophomore,
stated, "After seeing the concert,
I wish I had not drooped choir!"
A parent approached Mr. Grylls
after the concert and declared,
"My son will be in the band next
year." From a senior came the
remark, "sure, you do this fan-
tastic concert after I quit!"
Mr. Grylis extends an open
invitation to all students wishing
to participate in the music pro-
gram with the understanding
that hard work, discipline and
dedication to the program are
pi, erequisites.
The next scheduled concert is
Winter of 1999.
