Our last performance for the summer. Enjoy!
Soloists: Lennix, Princess, Tatiana, Mishell, Jazlyn, and Jocelyn. Great job!
A message to all of the singers:
I couldn’t stop smiling. I am so proud of each and every one of you guys! You put so much energy and hard work into this group. You turned a week’s worth of practice during your fifteen-minute recess periods and brought yourselves to a professional level in this performance. Everyone who performed in tonight’s performance can say he or she was an official member of Vocal for Change’s first ever group. Congratulations!
I’m grateful to all of you who supported and partook in Vocal for Change. For those of you who are graduating Breakthrough or are returning to college in the fall, we’re all going to miss you dearly!
Here are some of the things I’m grateful for about this particular group of people:
-Rebecca’s ability to be completely on her game at every single rehearsal. (Not to mention the fact that she has perfect pitch!)
-Brittney’s incessant smiling during performances (Got it all on camera, Britt).
-Devyn’s inextinguishable spirit and smooth dance skills.
-Our incredible soloists on both “Apologize” and “Killing Me Softly”. Many thanks to Ashley, Dania, Malka, Mishell, Lennix, Princess, Tatiana, Jocelyn, and Jazlyn!
-Mykal’s random and awesome bursts into beat-boxing.
-Nico’s offering to make announcements at school assemblies.
–Mr. VanLeesten’s wholehearted support of our group before he even heard a note (and also for enduring our practices next to his office when we were still working out the harmonies).
-All the students and teachers who committed their FREE time to make the Talent Show and Graduation Ceremony wonderful performances.
I can’t wait to start Vocal for Change’s school-year singing group. Have a relaxing rest of the summer and see you all in the fall!
