Jonathan Law High School band director Mr. Pelaggi currently has the band performing new music by one of his old students. He thinks that this new music will stretch the band even further. This new music will be performed by the band at their upcoming spring concert. Advocate Sports Editor interviewed Pelaggi about the new music.

Ava Korkmaz: How do you think the new music will turn out?

David Pelaggi: I think our new music will be excellent. Our kids in band are making great progress in their playing and their musicality. This concert is going to be a lot of fun for us.

AK: What do you expect from the band for this piece?

MP: I am expecting the students to be artistic. I am expecting them to use the tools they’ve gained through their whole life of playing music and play these parts with their full effort. Being able to premier a piece is a very important process to the world of music. Jonathan Law Band’s name will always be on the top of this piece whenever it is played throughout the rest of time. We will always be the group who premiered and commissioned it.

AK: Do you think that the piece will be done before the concert?

MP: Absolutely. We will be able to complete the piece with no issue.

AK: What are your expectations of the students for the concert?

MP: Our students always behave well during performances and are an example of behavior for others.

AK: Do you think that the students will be able to put on an exciting show for the audience?

MP: There is no doubt in my mind. This will be the best concert we have had since I have been at Law.
