Bossa Nova, Sound of the Bossa Nova concert
The ‘Sound of the Bossa Nova concert' was held in Recital hall, building 26 and Room 220, in the Grossmont College at 6:30 pm Sunday, March 9. It was an enlightening and entertaining music experience where various types of instruments were played.

It held a relatively constant note for the entire duration of the presentation. The pattern of the piece was therefore relatively easy to decode. The instruments took turns at creating the melody and maintaining a relatively unchanged pattern. [...]

[...] It had a lot of relevance, particularly for the Grossmont music students because in addition to giving them a platform to demonstrate their musical and performance prowess, it provided them with the opportunity to experience the lives of concert musicians. This will provide us with the extra drive to emerge as fully- fledged musician. The low ticket prices for the juniors in the college was also a high point, these students needed to see what they may be able to do in the next few years if they apply effort and passion.
