    In this next section S.W.O.T analysis will be used to analyze the festivals strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which will provide the framework that the recommendations will be based upon. The festival has many strengths that have enabled its continued success since its infancy. The location for the festival alone is a great strength as it takes place within the popular Gros Morne National Park which provides a setting of amazing natural landscapes, and spectacular scenery for the event. It is apparent that the festivals majority of customers are locals from nearby communities, which is great as it shows the festival has the support of the nearby communities, and does not rely on visitors from afar or out of the providence. The strong focus on community can also be seen within the festival as there are various local artists, musicians, and writers showcased along with the numerous local programs and collaborations with local arts groups, including the: Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador, Gross Morne Summer Music Program, and school outreach programs.…

    I attended The Works of Thomas Root on Tuesday, March 24th. It featured the Weber State University wind ensemble and symphonic band as well as the WSU Band Alumni. There were many pieces conducted and created by Thomas Root. Most pieces were still unpublished but they were wonderful nonetheless.

    On Saturday March 8 I attended the rockabilly festival that took place in Pitzer College. This was a great experience because I had the opportunity to feel what it was like during the rock n roll times. I was invited to go through Mr. Molina in MECHA to help out with fundraising. I was there all day selling raffle tickets to people who attended the festival in order to raise money for the MECHA scholarship. Through this experience I had the chance to practice on my communication skills by persuading people to buy tickets.…

Each piece was performed well. I enjoyed listening to the extravagant music with very few mistakes.…

    My identity was overt because there were no secret observations taking place. It seemed that most groups of people were all very friendly with each other. There were a lot of couples walking around Toronto as well. In my situation, my friend that goes to school in Toronto was navigating for most of the time because he knew the city better than the rest of us. In situations I observed, there was usually someone suggesting an area to go to next, rather than it being a collective group decision. The observations that have taken place mean that people generally enjoyed the festival. The fact that people of all ages were at the festival suggests that this is a festival available to all walks of life. People taking pictures means that they want to capture the moment and they enjoy what they are seeing. Some observations from other sources include the website that had a vote for the favorite piece of art. The comment section showed that the sun was the favourite piece of…

    I chose the genre string quartet and attended a concert at First Presbyterian church on October 19th, 2014. Because of its location the sanctuary where the concert took place had many stained glass windows. It was marvelous and in my opinion well suited the feel of classical music. The audience was very responsive and attentive. They applauded when the musicians appeared, in between pieces, and at the very end. They were quick to join in the sing along portion of the concert. Overall the people attending were an older crowd but you could tell they truly appreciated the music. The concert’s duration was around an hour and a half and was quite a surprising performance. I am very new to concert experiences, such as this, so I had no idea what to expect. I was thoroughly impressed by the ability of Marianne Henry, Nicole Cherry, Deidra Lawrence, and Prudence McDaniel, to create such a unified and powerful sound. The energy level of the musicians was extraordinary. They moved with music and felt every note. The glances exchanged between they showed their true enjoyment in what they were doing. All four of them were very concentrated and all consumed in the moment and the music. They came very well prepared if any mistakes were made it was most certainly never noticed by anyone. The string quartet consisted of a cello, two violins, and a viola. The Marion Anderson String Quartet played two pieces. The first, was Follow the Drinking Gourd by Jonathan B. McNair and the second, was a String Quartet in e minor composed by Frederick Delius. Both pieces were broken down into of four acts. The first piece also included tenor singer and narrator Chris Hoffman. Chris was very animated and excelled in keeping the audience’s attention as well as their participation. Both pieces were also written in the early 1900’s which would put them in the 20th century…
