Our 5th grade students in Advanced Chorus, Advanced Band, and Advanced Orchestra collaborated with their teachers—Dr. Aspetti (Chorus), Mrs. Burkart (Orchestra), and Ms. Collins (Band)—to create a beautiful holiday ensemble.
On behalf of our talented students and staff, we are excited to share the link to the Holiday Concert. Please enjoy it at your convenience and feel free to share it with family and friends. Thank you for supporting your children and their musical interests. Each performer truly shined!
Wishing you a joyful holiday season filled with health and happiness. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
