Uh, that was Marvin Gaye's I Heard it Through the Grapevine before. That was a follow up concert. Thank you so much. 00:12:28,901 S4: So thank you, Gordon. First of all, thank you to, uh, Mr.. Mr.. Coach and, uh, the theater tech people who made it all possible. Thank you to the custodians. Thank you to the administration. Thank you. A big thank you to friends of the Arts. If you haven't gone out front, there's a little chair there. This is friends of the Arts. They they do wonderful, wonderful things now by process of of being a volunteer organization. And this is a fine art school. People matriculate in and out. Okay. So you guys are kind of beginning of it. Uh, generally speaking, when the student graduates from high school, the person leaves friends of the arts. Okay. So there's always a turnover. And they do wonderful things. They support visual performing arts, all the arts. They help us out in a great way to help them. Musical everything. They always need volunteers. If you think you can help out in any way. So these are going to make sense. If you think you can't do something, you can please talk to the people, the friends of the earth. They're just absolutely wonderful. They do really good things for the school district. We're really lucky that way. So for that, and I'd like to thank Evan, my my co-teacher, she's doing a wonderful job. This is second year and I think she's just fantastic. Thanks, everybody. Now this. This next team. They've done this before. This is great, man. This is pretty great. I really enjoy having you guys with me in the mornings. If we as parents do our jobs right, we become redundant. We don't become obsolete. That's what we're trying to do. We're trying to make ourselves obsolete. So our kids go out to the big wide world and do it without us. Right. So we're always kind of working towards our parental demise in the sense that, you know, we're just trying to get it so they don't need us. Right. And the biggest compliment I need to abandon is to not conduct them. That means they don't need me. And so I've asked them and they said yes. And they're going to do this too. I'm conducting. So they get all the applause. It's a little nerve wracking on their part, but they're a really good band. And we we hope you like it. So this is the band's version of Centurion. 00:14:44,767 S3: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 00:15:10,267 S3: Blah blah. 00:15:16,200 S3: Blah blah blah. 00:16:03,801 S2: So again. 00:16:04,901 S1: This is our audition at the school chorus. We rehearse Thursday after school, and it's open to all students in all grades. 00:16:12,767 S2: Including. 00:16:13,601 S1: Anyone not required. So we're very fortunate to have some members in this as well. But the student wasn't able to join this school year and wants to join us at the start of next school year, like 2026. Um. Please keep an eye out for revisions. would be happy to have more stickers. Um, it would be probably after our introduction. And so look out for that if you're a person interested and just couldn't make it. I'm here to introduce our Julius Vivian Avery. 00:16:44,300 S2: Yes. 00:16:49,868 S2: Hello, I'm Julius. I'm Vivian, and I'm doing great. This piece is based on a poem by Eleanor Wiley and was composed by Randall Thompson. So when she describes a peaceful winter night and the soft, quiet beauty of fashion, these harmonies create a gentle and cozy feeling, almost like walking through a winter wonderland. We hope you enjoy. 00:17:24,501 S3: Let. 00:17:41,501 S3: Us just. 00:17:50,100 S3: As often as you. 00:18:25,467 S3: Martial. 00:18:30,167 S3: Arts. 00:18:45,667 S3: Council for. 00:20:08,367 S2: Good evening. My name is Leah and I'm in seventh grade. 00:20:11,467 S1: And my name is Julia, and I'm in seventh grade. 00:20:14,267 S2: Our next song is East Souvenir by J.S. Bach. 00:20:17,767 S1: The title means be thou with me, and the lyric to express comfort, love and reassurance. Thank you. 00:20:35,100 S3: Sir. 00:20:42,467 S3: I am. 00:21:17,100 S3: So. 00:21:23,000 S3: I. 00:21:31,501 S3: Just. 00:21:37,400 S3: Wanted to. 00:22:14,501 S3: Oh my God. 00:24:10,567 S3: I really need to do. 00:26:26,000 S5: Shout from the back. 00:26:27,267 S4: Isaac Hayes, that was who we had in Lancaster. Now, just in a minute. 00:26:39,767 S4: Thank you so much. This one's called sing, sing, sing. 00:29:35,100 S1: Hello again for the last time for me. Um. Oh. All right. Our last choir is actually two combined choirs, which is why there's a million middle schoolers on these risers. This is their combined seventh favorite chorus. Um, they usually rehearse in separate blocks, so opportunities to sing together are rare, but very powerful. So watch out. First row. Um, I'd like to take a moment as well to thank our friends in the Arts group. Their support helps make things like this possible tonight. If you're interested in supporting our program, make sure to stop by their table sometime. We could not do this work without them. Here to introduce our first. Our Lexi and Cassie. 00:30:14,767 S6: Good evening, I'm Lexi. I'm Cassie, and we're both in eighth grade.
