We're gearing up for the spring concert this year which will be on June 4th at 7 p.m. in the gym. The band is getting ready to play songs like the West Highland Fanfare and a piece called The Shaker Hymn. The chorus has been singing the songs from the musical Les Miserables, since most of the kids have seen the movie, they are all singing the music anyway. We also spent time learning some fun rock and roll songs like Carry on My Wayward Son and a song called You and I, which is a song accompanied by a whole bunch of ukeleles. 6th graders are now studying the music and dance of Brazil, and 7th graders are going to be studying Beethoven, and still playing their guitars. 8th Graders are watching the musical West Side Story at home and learning about the musicians from the 20th century who made an impact on our lives. See you on the 4th. Also, don't forget the Memorial Day Parade is coming up really soon. See you
