Students were in for a treat on the night of October 25th as they went to see the convocation, Coco in Concert. Entering the reception hall, children, teens, adults, and the elderly sprawled into a tightly-packed reception. The receiving line were donned in skeleton face paint from Centre\u2019s very own Art Society. A colorful, frilly, festive arch received guests, while lines quickly gathered for refreshments and complimentary skeletal face paints. There was even a dedicated place for family and friends to pose with Halloween and Coco-esque gear – complete with skull masks and guitar cutouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the main attraction was nestled in the acoustic walls of Newlin Hall. The esteemed 20-member Latin ensemble, Orquesta Folcl\u00f3rica Nacional de M\u00e9xico, paraded the stage with decorative Latin uniforms. After a quick warm up, the lights dimmed, the projector started up, and the band performed an enchanted introduction of the iconic Disney castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the main musical soundtrack to Coco, the orchestra played the suspenseful music in between shots and dialogue. Through smiles, laughter, and tears, the in-concert performance of the music and soundtrack truly captured concertgoers’ attention until the very end. What resulted was an experience that not even a movie theater could fulfill. Indeed, the night combined the elements of entertainment from the movie and the musical wonder of the orchestra into one unforgettable night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
