Fry Chorus and 5th grade Orff Ensemble Concert

Tonight's the night for entertainment!  The 4th and 5th grade Chorus and the 5th Grade Orff Ensemble are performing their songs for a crowd of hundreds.  They are so excited to share what they have learned. 
The Orff Ensemble will be playing first.  There is a song they wrote that they will begin playing as they enter.  Then we will perform two classic Orff pieces, one a canon from Orff's volumes entitled "Music for Children," and one is an AB melodic song simply entitled "Dance."  The final song is an instrumental jam called "Mufasa's March" with full xylophone, metallophone, and glockenspiel melodic lines, and a huge percussion group with it.
The Fry Chorus is going to wow the audience with songs from around the world including Russia, England, Italy and the United States.  Nine, ten and eleven year-olds singing in Italian?  Why not... The Chorus has made progress learning to sing with their head voice, and are learning more about singing in parts.  "Frosty the Snowman," and "Minka" are just a few of the treats we have in store for you.
We hope you'll join us for this magical night of music.
