| The
Tirebiter Band's twenty-seven years of experience as a full-time
performing group for all ages gave impetus to developing a
presentation for children.
The show is appropriate for grades K thru 6. Tirebiter presents
instrumental and vocal performance of genres of musical styles
from the forties through the 2000's with commentary on the
evolution of those styles. Larger schools may option for 2
shows.
The 50-55 minute presentation includes the following:
Vocal harmonies are demonstrated
by performance of Medieval polyphony to five-part, contemporary
a Capella music.
Tirebiter's development of Style Go Round as demonstrated
by the performance of a song by popular, contemporary groups
such as Greenday or N Sync in eight different musical styles
demonstrates the universality of music in an attempt to avert
musical bias.
The group encourages their audience
to participate with rhythm and movement.
The energy of Tirebiter's performance captures and sustains
the attention of their audience at a quick pace from the first
note to the innovative finale.This program has been used in
several school systems in Connecticut during the past six
years and has been well received by students and teachers
alike.
