Both concerts were filled with band and choral music under the direction of Jenni Lundahl, choral director, and Patti Beyeler, band director. The high school concert choir, concert band, small ensembles, percussion ensemble, show choir and jazz band all performed on May 4. A week later, elementary students took the stage with a patriotic‑themed program celebrating America’s upcoming 250th birthday. The fifth grade band started the patriot program off followed by vocal selections by the elementary grades. The fourth grade students using recorders played My Country ‘Tis of Thee. The concert wrapped up with everyone joining in and singing “America.”
