The Steinm\u00fchle is known, among other things, for its successful and well-organized music events. Students and teachers also know how to respond flexibly when things don\u2019t go as planned\u2014as was recently the case with \u201cBands On Stage.\u201d Despite some performers having to drop out at the last minute, the audience enjoyed 90 minutes of a highly entertaining mix of music and didn\u2019t let the performers leave the stage without a big round of applause and an encore. <\/p>\n

As of February, the band club for grades 5 and 6 still had 11 students; after that, much to the delight of director Frank Wemme, the number grew to 18! The new members quickly found their place behind their own instruments or at the microphone. They kicked off the evening for the audience in the hall with Rihanna\u2019s \u201cUmbrella\u201d\u2014a fitting start for the day, as umbrellas had indeed had to be opened quite a few times outside that Monday. The group performed \u201cSorry\u201d by ClockClock as their second song\u2014another track that was familiar to the audience and clearly well-received. <\/p>\n

Filling in for music teacher and choir director Daniel Sans is a challenge. Our colleague Anna Prokop handled this task exceptionally well when it came to directing the performance of the elective musical class for grades 8 and 9. Due to the absence of some participants, the program had to be scaled back from four performances to three. The songs, performed with great emotion\u2014namely \u201cLovely\u201d by Billie Eilish, \u201cTraitor\u201d by Olivia Rodrigo, and \u201cControl\u201d by Zoe Wees\u2014were met with tremendous enthusiasm from the audience, received loud applause, and were captured on many a cell phone camera. <\/p>\n

The rejuvenated JazzEnsemble, led by Frank Wemme, showcased plenty of rhythm. They performed Herbie Hancock\u2019s \u201cChans\u2019 Song\u201d and Bobby Timmons\u2019 \u201cMoanin\u2019.\u201d Afterward, they wowed the audience with the classic \u201cI Love Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll\u201d by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. <\/p>\n

Frank Wemme not only hosted the evening but also led another musical highlight with the newly formed StoneMill House Band. Well-known songs such as \u201cI Ain\u2019t Worried\u201d by One Republic, \u201cHouse of Memories\u201d by Panic! at the Disco, \u201cSunny\u201d by Bobby Hebb, and \u201cUptown Funk\u201d by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars led up to the evening\u2019s finale, and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the variety of the performance. <\/p>\n
