The Weekly Update #30.4

6th-8th Grade Districts Festival

Claire DeSorgher & Lucy McElwain

On Friday, May first, and Saturday, May second, sixth through eighth grade students in band and chorus had the opportunity to participate in districts. Districts is an annual event when band and chorus students from neighboring schools all over Franklin County meet up and perform four songs as a group. Three groups perform at the district music festival: the concert band, the wind ensemble, and the chorus. On Friday, all the groups practiced from 9:30 to 4:00 at SATEC, and on Saturday, the groups practiced at the Collins Perley Sports Complex from 9:30 to about 11:30, and then they had their performance, which was open to the public, at 2:00. The first group to perform was the concert band; they performed a complex song called Alien Invasion by David Gorham. After they performed the chorus was up, they sang the notable Wau Bulan which is a Malaysian folk song, they also had choreography to go with this performance. The last group to perform was the wind ensemble. They played Blue Sky Horizon by Randall Standridge. Districts are a great opportunity and learning experience for all who choose to go and congratulations to all students from SACS and other schools who participated!
