On Tuesday March 21st, 5th grade students listened to a band and choir presentation from Ms. Pochon... and Ms. Harris. High School Band and Choir students performed and displayed short excerpts and songs to exemplify the different instruments and voices of choir and band. Today, 5th grade students attended a Middle School and High School band and choir class, in order to feel what it would be like to join the band or choir in their 6th grade year. The smiles and excitement on each face was infectious! We are very excited to see that our music program will be growing even more with the addition of many new students.
