Spring Concerts

By Olivia

The 4-8 Band & Chorus Spring Concert was a huge success. There were performances by the Beginning Band, the 4th-grade Chorus, the 5th-grade Chorus, the Advanced Band, the Middle School Chorus and the Jazz Band.

The Middle School Chorus played songs from various musicals, including "Phantom of the Opera" and "Wicked." The Jazz Band was directed by a new director named Ben Neill, father of 7th-grader Kady. The Jazz Band played "Pentatonic Blues," "Oye Como Va" and "Birdland."

I am a 7th-grader who currently plays the flute. Being a student who performed in the concert, I believe it was a huge responsibility. The day before the concert we practiced every moment of time we had and it paid off. After the concert, everyone was giving many compliments to the Jazz Band and the Chorus.

  1. Dear Olivia, Thanks for sharing this information about the Spring Concert. And, for playing the flute - it's a beautiful-sounding instrument that's quite a challenge, so you should be really proud of yourself. Thanks for playing and for writing.

    All the best, Mrs. Prentice
