Spring Concert

The Horace Mann Spring Concert, presented by Mr. Aaron Waryk and Ms. MaryJo Mallchok, had something for everyone.  It looked like just about "everyone" was in the gym on Friday afternoon, as parents, grandparents, siblings and other loved ones packed the house to see the students perform.

There were cute songs (like Going on a Picnic by the kindergartners and Take Me Out to the Ball Game by the first graders), patriotic songs (like Fifty Nifty United States sung by the fourth graders), standards (such as Danny Boy), and modern classics (Don't Stop Believin' on guitar by the 5th grade general music students and Let It Be by the combined choirs).  The audience was also treated to songs by the Horace Mann Orchestra and the fourth graders on their recorders.   Raise your hand if you played a recorder in fourth grade.  I know I did :-)

Many of the songs included props and/or choreography that got big laughs from the crowd.  One great example of the use of props was the adapted music class' use of colored scarves.  They waved them as the LHS Four Season Quartet played Vivaldi's Four Seasons.  Beautiful!

It was wonderful to see and hear all of the Horace Mann musicians.  Thank you to all of the staff members who helped make the show run so smoothly and to the families for joining us.  We hope you enjoyed it.  Here are a few pictures of the show:
