This Week in Music

What a great week for music!!! Field trips to Powell Symphony Hall and The Sheldon were awesome experiences for our 2nd and 5th graders! Students in all grades enjoyed singing Halloween songs and songs about "Responsibility," the character word of the month. Students also prepared songs for the upcoming Veterans' Day Assembly. Third graders worked on mastering "Hot Cross Buns" and "Merrily We Roll Along" to earn white and yellow "Recorder Karate" belts. Fifth Grade students played "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and "Under the Sea" on their recorders to earn white and yellow belts.

The Sheldon

Concord's 2nd Graders enjoyed a wonderful performance today at Powell Symphony Hall! What a great audience they were! Our 4th Graders are looking forward to their field trip to The Sheldon, tomorrow, Thursday, October 27. They will be hearing a performance called Folk Music in the Melting Pot. In preparation for this event, students have been learning about the history of folk music, the different genres of folk music, the instruments used, and the musicians. Students should dress nicely and bring their best concert manners!

Powell Symphony Hall

Concord's second graders will be going to Powell Symphony Hall tomorrow, Wednesday, October 25, for a program called The Composer is Dead. The program is based on the children's book, The Composer is Dead, by Lemony Snicket and Nathaniel Stookey, and the music from Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, Movement II. In preparation for the trip, we have been learning about the instruments of the orchestra, the musicians, the conductor, and the narrator and their roles. We have also enjoyed the books, Meet the Orchestra and The Philharmonic Gets Dressed. Students should dress nicely and bring their concert manners!

Sunday Night Lights

Concord Flyer Choir performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" with the other District Elementary Choirs at Sunday Night Lights at Lindbergh High School's Flyer Field Sunday, October 16. The choir was accompanied by the LHS Spirit of St. Louis Marching Band. The Concord Choir members did an awesome job! They stayed and cheered on our guest football players and cheerleaders who are battling cancer. Rainbow for Kids appreciate this great service that Lindbergh Students created for our guests! We are so proud of the Concord Flyer Choir members and their families for making this a great event!
