I have a very exciting event tonight I thought I might share with all of you. I am from a relatively small district in Southern California. I say small meaning we only have on high school. Granted there are 3000 kids there. I am from the mid west as most of you are, and small there means something entirely different.
Anyway, tonight is our district choral event. Every choir in the district from 4th grade up will be performing. Roughly 1200 kids. Our five elementary choirs perform as a large ensemble together. Each middle school group (there are 8 total) performs one song, and each high school group (there are 6) performs one or two songs. We all sing an opener and a closer together with all 1200!
It is a very exciting event and is great for recruiting. Our students all attend the same High School and it is great for them to see where they will be in a few years and what can happen if they work hard and stay in the program. Our band, orchestra, and jazz bands do similar events but the choral event is by far the biggest.
I am truly blessed to be in a community that values and supports music education.
Sounds fun! What district are you in? I am at Walnut High School in Walnut, LA County, and I live further south in Costa Mesa. Good luck!
