SUMMARY:THE HAUNTED ORCHESTRA: JAMESVILLE-DEWITT HS
DESCRIPTION:Jamesville-DeWitt gets haunted Thursday night\nLive Halloween music for every age\, plus a costume contest with prizes.\nIt starts before the music does. \nThe Jamesville-DeWitt High School auditorium is full of costumes. A vampire is waving at a pirate two rows back. A toddler in a bumblebee suit is standing on Mom’s lap to get a better look at the stage. \nThen one instrument plays a single note\, and the whole orchestra answers it at once. Violins\, horns\, drums\, all tuning up together in one big swirling cloud of sound. \nThen silence. The conductor lifts the baton. \nAnd J-D is officially haunted. \nHearing an orchestra in person is loud in the best way. The cellos growl. The cymbals crash so hard you jump\, then laugh that you jumped. When everyone plays at once\, the sound fills every inch of the room\, and you along with it. \nYou’ll hear the shark sneak up. You’ll hear skeletons dance at midnight and a mountain king’s march turn into a stampede. And when “This Is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas starts\, good luck keeping your feet still. By the end\, there’s a superhero and a very small skeleton dancing in the aisle\, and a grandpa trying hard not to join them. \nCostumes on\, J-D \nThere’s a costume contest with prizes. Two days before Halloween\, it’s the perfect test run. Will the wings stay on? Does the mask fit? Can the dinosaur tail handle stairs? Find out Thursday. \nBring Jamesville. Bring DeWitt. Bring everybody. \nThe neighbors with the preschoolers. The friend who’s had their costume planned since July. Grandma and Grandpa\, who’ll be the first ones cheering at the costume contest. \nCostumes welcome. Everybody’s welcome. \n\nBEFORE YOU GO\nWho’s it for? Everybody. Little kids\, big kids\, parents\, grandparents\, neighbors. \nHow long is it? About 30 minutes\, no intermission. \nWhat should we wear? A costume\, if you’ve got one. Otherwise\, whatever’s comfortable. \nWhen should we get there? Doors open 30 minutes before the show. Costume contest check-in at the door. \n\nWHAT YOU’LL HEAR\nJaws (John Williams): The shark theme. It only takes two notes to make everybody nervous. \nDanse Macabre (Saint-Saëns): At midnight\, Death plays the violin and the skeletons dance. Listen for the xylophone. That’s their bones rattling. \nDances of Transylvania (Bartók): Folk dances from Dracula’s home turf. \nThis Is Halloween (Danny Elfman): The Nightmare Before Christmas song plenty of kids can already sing start to finish. \nIn the Hall of the Mountain King (Grieg): A sneaky little march that ends in a full-speed stampede. \n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR SERIES SPONSORS!\n \nTitle Sponsor \n \nExclusive Auto Sponsor \nTHANK YOU TO OUR CONCERT SPONSOR\nTHE RAPHAEL FAMILY\n \n
