This spring the high school music students will be taking a trip to Nashville on April 9-13. On the trip the students will have a number opportunities unique to the “country music capital of the world.” They’ll get the ins and outs of a recording studio, watch the operetta The Pirates of Penzance (the choirs are singing two pieces from this show later this month), tour the Country Music Hall of Fame. There’s even a chance for students to expand their musical knowledge by performing and getting some lessons at Belmont University.
There have been four fundraisers over the past year: pasta sales last spring, Chip Shoppe sales at the beginning of this school year, Fiesta Fundraiser on November 4th, and cheesecake sales in November. The proceeds that each student raises in these fundraisers goes directly into his or her personal music fund account for him or her to use on either this Nashville trip or their senior class music trip.
But even with Nashville preparation still on their minds, the music department has had a host of other events going on this winter. On December 11th there was an orchestra concert, and on December 23rd there was an in-school chamber group concert where the Woodwind Choir, Brass Choir, and Jazz Band, and Blue Notes performed holiday tunes for the student body and faculty. Staff members reported that this was the first in-school holiday concert in recent memory.
If you missed those and still wanted to support the music students and their trip to Nashville, there was a choir and band concert on Tuesday, January 20th in the newly renovated auditorium.
