We hope you were able to join us for either or both of two terrific productions this week.
On Tuesday, middle school students amazed us with their on-stage improvisation at “On The Spot,” the MS Theatre Sports event, hosted by our own Mr. Sharp. Students acted out improv games, thinking on their feet to share a story and make us laugh. We are so proud of the courage, respect, and commitment these students demonstrated on stage.
On Wednesday, our middle school orchestra students joined elementary and high school students for our annual Strings Bash, conducted by Mr. Weinhold. This performance included performances from all levels, beginner to advanced, culminating in a whole-school combined playing of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” (even the audience participated with the back beat). Mr. Weinhold conducted one combined piece from the upper deck, using glowing batons to guide the players.
In the coming week, we again showcase the talent and hard work of middle school musicians. On Tuesday, November 29th, we host the MS Band Concert in the Chevron Theater. On Thursday, our vocal students combine with the high school of for the MS/HS Choir Concert in the MPB. Both events start at 6:30 pm.
We hope you can join us to celebrate the talent surfaced through the hard work and dedication of our music students. Bravo!
