The online covers are back! As part of our lustrum video, we all recorded our parts of the Phil Collins Collection and this is the end result. Enjoy!

According to a lot of music lovers, music is timeless. Therefore music and time go hand in hand. This autumn the student wind orchestra SHOT has brought time and music even closer in their concert SHOT travels through time. The past, present and future segued in the pieces SHOT has performed.

In the piece The Sunken Village by Philip Sparke SHOT travels back to the Middle Ages. It is a symphonic poem based on the medieval legend about the town Vineta. According to this story Vineta was taken down into the Baltic Sea as a punishment for its immoral inhabitants. The piece Stone Age by Thomas Doss is a journey through three periods in human history: the Stone Age, The Middle Ages and the Modern Age. Moreover, Philip Sparke lets us take a glance into the future with his piece Two-Part Invention. Two soloists will show what beautiful inventions their instruments are. This provides hope that in the future equally great inventions will be done.

Making music with a large group of students, giving concerts at amazing locations and doing fun activities to get to know your orchestra members!

The lustrum year is already well on its way! After the pub quiz, the lecture from Joop Boerstoel and Alex Poelman and the publication of the lustrum video other activities like 'Wie Is De Mol?' and the secret activity have also taken place.

During 'Wie Is De Mol?' three members took it upon themselves to sabotage the rest of their group while the other candidates would try to figure out who this mole was. Unfortunately for the moles, there was a candidate in each group who could see straight through their lies.

During the secret activity, a group of SHOT'ers worked up a sweat during a fencing workshop. After everybody was done stabbing each other we went out for dinner.

Luckily, the lustrum year is still far from over with many more activities to come! For example, the family day, the lustrum gala and the SHOT/SOLO concert!
