It's Showtime!

It's almost "Showtime!" Kindergartners, 2nd graders, 4th graders, and the Concord Flyer Choir have been preparing for their Winter Musicals to be performed at the Lindbergh High School Auditorium on Sunday afternoon, December 4. Kindergarten will perform A Bear-y Merry Holiday at 2:00 p.m. Grade 2’s program, Jingle All the Way, begins at 3:00 p.m. Grade 4 takes the stage for The Reindeer Games at 4:00 p.m. The Concord Flyer Choir will close out the afternoon of holiday music with Old Man Winter’s Icicle Follies at 5:00 p.m. Students should meet their teachers in the lobby 15 minutes before show time.

Students should have brought home notes with lyrics and costume suggestions last month, and they should have received scripts and permission slips (which need to be returned to school) a couple weeks ago. All lyrics and speaking parts need to be memorized this week. If your child is dancing or filling another role instead of speaking, the permission slip will state that. Thanks for your help!

What's New in Music Class

Students in all grades have enjoyed singing Thanksgiving songs and songs about "peace," the character word for November. They are also learning to read music and play xylophones and boom whackers. Third and fifth graders continue to learn to play new songs on their recorders. Third graders are working on “It’s Raining,” “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,” and “Jolly Old St. Nicholas.” Fifth graders are learning “My Country Tis of Thee,” “Mozart Sonata,” and “Jingle Bells.” Fifth graders have also begun learning holiday songs which they will be singing for the residents at Friendship Village and Delmar Gardens West on December 14.

Veterans' Day Assembly

Concord students did an amazing job singing all the songs they had learned to honor our Veterans at the Veterans' Day Assembly on Friday, November 11. First and second graders opened the program singing "The Allegiance Rap." Students in Grades 3 and 4 then sang "All American Me and You." All students sang "God Bless the USA." Then students sang "The Armed Forces Medley," and our guests stood as the theme songs for their branches of the armed forces were sung. Kindergarten and 1st grade students sang "I Love My Country." Fifth graders sang "Thankful for the USA," and the Concord Flyer Choir closed the program singing "You are Our Heroes."

Concord Flyer Choir Sings at Dedication Ceremony

The Concord Flyer Choir did an outstanding job performing at the Fallen Soldier Memorial Dedication Ceremony in Fenton Community Park on Saturday, November 5, at 2:00 p.m. The choir sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," "You are Our Heroes," and "God Bless America." The Fallen Solider Memorial was constructed and this ceremony was planned by Lindbergh High School students Raymond and Shawn Wilson to honor the brave men and women who serve our country. The choir members were proud to be a part of this patriotic event that brought honor and gratitude to our community's veterans.
