Some of the soloists dedicated their performance to a loved one in their life. Songs came from many different genres from pop, Motown and even some show tunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We spanned a wide rep of songs,&#8221; said Sexton. &#8220;Everything from Broadway to standard jazz, love songs to standard pop love songs, we even had a little Motown in there. We did an arrangement of &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be There&#8221; by Jackson, which was a favorite of everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another piece included in the concert was the song titled &#8220;Disney Love Medley,&#8221; a song Sexton said presented a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Disney Love Medley is pretty hard,&#8221; Sexton told TrojanVision. &#8220;There&#8217;s lots of parts to it. There&#8217;s lots of few changes and tonight they just simply knocked it out of the park.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group has been preparing for this concert since the beginning of the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We had a very short time to prepare this concert, but they really rose to the occasion and did awesome in every single song. I&#8217;m very proud.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about Frequency, visit its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/frequencyjazz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TROY, Ala.
