The St. Edward Music Department recently held a Fall Concert. This Fall Concert featured the St. Edward Band and the St. Edward After-School band. The concert took place on Sunday, November 7^th, 2021, in the big gym. Where students Alex Koleckner, Gabriel Tulgar, Matthew Tulgar, Robert Sommer, Hannah Montes, Luciano Rolando, Drew Ramos, Daniel Schuck, and Jack Cozzi performed their jazz music with a Latin beat and a Gospel-esque tune. Also, at the concert, donations for Toy for Tots were collected at the door. People could either bring in a new toy to donate or give a cash donation to the organization.

With this Fall Concert being the first in-person concert since December of 2019, the students in the band did a great job performing for all their family and friends. “The students did a wonderful job, and it is my impression that we managed to impress their parents. The students played like soloists, which is exactly what you need to do in a small ensemble. We’ve worked very hard, and it showed,” said Mr. McLoughlin. The audience for the concert was about 35-40 people, which is a great turnout after not being in-person for very long. “The concert went really well. Pretty exciting finally playing for people. We missed not having in-person shows,” said Luciano Rolando. Overall all the students that performed in the band did a fabulous job performing. We are especially glad that we are able to hold in-person concerts at St. Edward again.
