上中管乐团参演艺术节

6-8 年级

随着幕布升起，“普罗旺斯的风”伴着跳跃而又有力的音符，将薰衣草的清新吹进了观众的心中。初中段的艺术节就此拉开了序幕。响亮的号角声在主题后便悠扬起来，但一再响起的主题也烙印在了听众的心里。身为一名七年级学生，我很是荣幸，可以在同学们面前，带来这样震撼的演出。希望今后可以继续尝试类似的曲风，为我校师生带来更多的优秀演出。

As the stage curtain rises, “Wind of Provence” blows the perfumed scent of lavender into the audience’s heart with beautiful notes. This marks the start of the Middle School Art Festival. The horn sounded melodiously after the theme, but the repeated theme was also imprinted in the hearts of the audience. As a 7th grade student, I am honored to be on stage and bring the audience such an astonishing piece. I hope the band can play similar pieces in the future and bring the school more fantastic performances.

9-10 年级

12月20日，上中管乐团出演校内9-10年级艺术节，我们用《Pas de Deux双人舞》为本场演出拉开序幕。这是管乐团首次在校艺术节上表演双人独奏形式的曲目，是一个大胆的尝试，体现了独奏者们对自身水平的自信，以及乐团指挥李欣老师对大家的信任。在台下观众的期待中，双簧管的独奏者谷安琦同学与巴松管的独奏者杨易舜同学一起上台，引起了观众的欢呼与掌声。随后，李欣老师上台，将场上的气氛再次带动了起来。礼堂逐渐安静了下来，大家屏住了呼吸，等待奇迹发生。而在这安静的空气中，猛然响起了铜管演奏的，激昂的旋律，将现场的气氛带到了新的高峰。不久，铜管的声音弱了下去，舞台的主角换成了两位独奏者。双簧管的轻巧与巴松管的厚重互相呼应、互相衬托，把观众拉进了乐曲活泼又流畅的意境当中。这首富有节奏感的舞曲，一扫艺术节开场前的沉闷，令在场所有人都跃动了起来。乐曲接近尾声，却是愈发的明亮、热情。当这首《双人舞》在热烈的氛围中结束时，台下的观众纷纷鼓掌、欢呼，仿佛希望管乐团再来一首。簇拥在欢呼声中，两位独奏者向观众鞠躬后，离开了舞台。掌声中充满了观众朋友们对管乐团的鼓励与赞扬，当灯光变暗、幕布落下时，观众们才停下了掌声。

On December 20, the SHS Wind Ensemble performed at the 9 to 10 grade Art Festival. As the first performance, the SWE brought the piece Pas de Deux. This is the very first time the SWE performed a composition with two lead players playing solo parts. This is a courageous new attempt and reflects the confidence of the lead players in themselves, and the confidence of the conductor, Mr. Li Xin, in the ensemble. In the anticipation of the audience, the oboe lead Chloe Gu and bassoon lead Bryce Yang came up to the stage, arousing cheer and applause. Soon after, Mr. Li Xin walked to the center of the stage, again bringing applause. As the auditorium came to a silence, the sudden sound of brass in an enthusiastic chorus took the atmosphere to a new level. Not long later, the brass instruments dimmed down, and the stage was given to the two lead players. The bright sounds of the oboe, paired with the mellow tone of the bassoon, produce a distinctive effect, taking all the audience members into the lively yet fluent mood of the piece. This rhythmic dance music completely sweeps away the dullness dwelling in the air before the Art Festival began and makes everyone begin moving with the music.

As the performance approaches an end, the music, however, escalates in volume and mood. When the performance ended with passionate melodies, the audience cannot help but give a grand round of applause for the SWE, as though wishing for additional performance. Bathed in the cheers from the audience, the two lead performers bowed and left the stage. Within the applause was all the praise and encouragement the audience believed the SWE deserved. Only after the lights turned out and the curtains began to drop, did the audience stop their enthusiastic ovation.

11-12 年级

经过全团共同努力，上海中学管乐团在上海第十三届管乐团队展演中以《阿尔维玛序曲》夺得金奖荣誉。此次由12年级即将毕业的杨益团长作为指挥再次带领我校管乐团演奏这首曲目，奏响了11-12年级艺术节的第一声。管乐团的开场演出使全场气氛即刻沸腾起来！《阿尔维玛序曲》是一首能令观众听后心里融化的作品。杂乱交错的赋格旋律带给观众从纠结、晦涩到开朗、光明的心理感受。瞬间使同学们身临其境。结束部分巧妙又强而有力的收尾，成功完成了这次艺术节的演出。

SHSID Wind Ensemble won the gold medal in the 13th Shanghai Wind Team Performance with "Alvamar Overture". During 11-12th Grade Art Festival, Yang Yi, who is about to graduate from Grade 12, conducted our school ensemble to play this piece again. As the opening performance, our ensemble provided an exciting atmosphere among the audience. Alvamar Overture is a song with a combination of slow and fast melodies. It brings the audience a tangled feeling of mystery, cheerfulness, and enlightenment, making the audience immersed in the music. The closing part ended off on a powerful note, completing the performance of this art festival.
