40th Anniversary: Faculty Members Musical Showdown

On the cold, dark night of January 29, UT Dallas was witness to the most epic event in musical sports entertainment history. The Conference Center Arena was filled with spectators eager to observe the musical marvel.

The most memorable match of the concert for me was “Semi-suite.” In this bout, The Violin and The Clarinet formed an unstoppable tag team in which the violin provided the main melody, while The Clarinet provided a solid support in the form of an accompaniment with its smooth and mellow sounds. The Piano tried his best to hold his ground without being overwhelmed. He certainly carried his team with his relentless rhythm. The Percussion would randomly come out of nowhere to break up the count whenever The Piano was pinned. The Percussion mainly worked to embellish The Piano’s performance as well as the match of as whole. The attention was never too focused on him.

Just when I thought the match could not get any more intense, The Violin called upon an audience member to deliver a deadly blow. The crowd which, was usually silent as they were immersed in the performance, went absolutely wild.

The performance was nothing less than art. The performers seemed like they were professionals with the intent of sharing their love of music.
