Student performers of all ages transform our gym into a concert hall. Our kids work for weeks to put on a good show. Last year's event included renditions of “Maple Leaf Rag,” Mozart’s “Ah vous dirai-je Maman,” Vanessa Carlton’s “A thousand Miles,” “Tequila,” “Pachelbel Canon,” spiritual hymns “Three Spirituals” and “I Have a Dream,” “The White Tiger Fight Song,” and “Ode to Joy.” One student even improvised by playing percussion on a chair which was transformed into an amazing drum!
