Grande Concert

Tonight was the "Grande Concert" at PGJHS. This is different than the regular choir concerts in that the advanced bands and orchestras participated, and they charged admission as a fundraiser. They had the jazz band, orchestra, percussion band, symphonic band, and both choirs present a few numbers each. They did an EXCELLENT job, not just by junior high standards, but a really excellent job. The money I paid for admission was well worth the evening's entertainment.

That's Taylor (with the Chamber choir) on the back row with the super shiny necklace on.



Again, the Chamber choir. Taylor is on the back row, right hand side, scratching her nose. It amazes me that they got so many boys to participate in a junior high choir. But, I must add, I think the choir instructor is amazing. He looks like he's about 15 himself. The kids all love him and they always perform a "fun" song along with their show numbers.
For the finale, they had all the bands and orchestra and choir perform a number. It was beautiful and gave me goosebumps. What a tribute to the amazing music instructors at PGJHS! I hope the ones at the high school are as great!
