Check it out! The NGHS Symphonic Band presented a unique project in collaboration with the Photography students of Mr. Jack Foreman. During our 2009 Spring Concert, the Symphonic Band performed a piece entitled "Dreams and Proclamations". A student-made video was projected behind the ensemble during this multimedia showcase; it featured photographs of the musicians that were created through a process called "light painting" (Read here for more information on this technique: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_painting).
