Freeport, Grand Bahama - Pastor Barry B. Morris the consumate "Musician Extraordinaire". Born
into a world where opportunities abound, but can also provide you with
setbacks; his resilience is astounding. On Saturday January 16th, 2010,
all persons in attendance at The Church of God of Prophecy, Coral Road,
Grand Bahama, got to experience the quiet depth of his love for the
fine art of music and how it should be presented, his dedication, his
riveting directives and passion for an art most certainly older than
himself, but he has certainly awaken the demons of doubt in his ability
to showcase first class performance on the level of a Sydney Orchestra
House Repetoire. Masterful in his appearance, aware of his musical
notes even during the loudest of sounds, dominating in bringing to the
fore the best of his Band Members to a performance never seen in these
Isles known to us as The Bahamas.
From the opening of the
curtains, one sensed the difference in the air of The Bahama Brass
Band typical concert; we knew we were in for a treat. The music
vibrated of the walls of the church halls, it was precise, definitive,
balanced and it drew you in so much so that your reaction was more than
engaging, you were in awe of the staging, the resurgence of Band
members long gone returning to their first introduction to the school
of music. So out of the ordinary was this event, that the silent
whispers of the best concert ever, best preformance ever, most
organized event ever, went like hushed utterance within and without the
Halls of the event. Oh! but the music, yes the music the best ever.
Why
so significant? because The Bahama Brass Band(Grand Bahama Segment)
celebrated more than 50years of organizational structure and
performance of this August Body of men that started in 1958 as a means
of recruiting souls for Christ. Their journey evolved to World Reknown
successes, their demand for concerts, conventions, private events and
the like became the expected. What Barry B. Morris bought to this 50th,
celebration is an understanding of the underlying currents of
possibilities and opportunities, talents and thirst for the advancement
and broadening of awareness of the importance of The Grand
Bahama Segment of The Bahama Brass Band and he succeeded in doing so.
Those of us in attendance we took notice, we saw, we appreciate and we
look forward to more. A job well done Bishop Barry B. Morris Maestro
Extraordinaire.
