Thursday, January 30, 6:30 p.m., Orcas School Old Gym
— from Kristen Wilson —
More than 120 young Orcas students will lift their voices in songs about America at a concert on Thursday, January 30, at 6:30 p.m. in the old gym of the Orcas School. “Our kindergarten through 4th grade students have been working very hard,” said Pamela Wright, Music Director, “and they are learning how to perform in front of an audience. Please come see what they have accomplished.”
The show will open with a rousing performance of Francis Scott Key’s “Star-Spangled Banner.” The kindergarten children have prepared “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” “Who Is On A Dollar Bill?” “March Of The Wee Americans,” and “Oh, I Love America.”
The 1st through 4th grade students will be performing some familiar, and some not-so-familiar songs including, “Yankee Doodle,” “Battle Hymn For Gettysburg,” “Jamestown,” “Goober Peas,” and “This Land Is Your Land.” The 4th-graders will play their ukuleles on “Down In the Valley,” and the 3rd-graders will show-off their recorder skills on a song that concentrates on the notes B and A, “BA Rockin’ Raptor!”
This is the third concert by Orcas School musicians this winter. The community is invited. All school concerts are free.
