"Imagine"

The Beatles, if you didn't know, are one of the most important, influential, and successful musical groups in modern music. In the 1960's they took the world by storm with their upbeat music and sounds that so many people loved! My music teacher friend, Mr.Barnaba, made a track with the piano part to The Beatles song, "Imagine". So give it a listen at home on Youtube or maybe your parents have a copy of the song and we can try it this Friday at rehearsal! Looking forward to it!

Rehearsal this Friday???

With all the closings this week, who knows if we'll have school Friday! My opinion is that we will, and a 2-hour delay at the most. There will definitely be a rehearsal if we go to school at the regular time. If in the event we have a 2-hour delay I think it might be best to cancel rehearsal. If that's the case then maybe we'll make it up next week on a Thursday and have two rehearsals in a row.

School Performance Date

Okay, the first performance date so far is April 12th, here at school. The chorus will perform directly proceeding the PTO meeting! Can't wait!

So far this year...

The chorus is sounding great right now.  This year we've been very lucky to have Mr. Chase donate his time with attending morning rehearsals and accompanying us with his acoustic guitar skills! We've got a nice diverse line-up of songs we're working to get performance-ready:

"Jazz" - Teresa Jennings
"Viva La Vida" - Coldplay
"Drift Away" - Mentor Williams (Dobie Gray cover)
"Let There be Peace On Earth" - trad.
(new song) "Soul Sister" - Train

For those wondering about when we'll perform, I'm currently working on finalizing a date for a performance at school. It will most likely be in April. Stay tuned for the actual date.
