The annual spring concert took place May 6 in the Salisbury High School auditorium.<\/p>\n
New to Salisbury Township School District, John Sigafoos replaced Rachel Reinecke after her retirement last year as music director.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve expanded our repertoire, learned new elements of musicality and crafted a quality performance,\u201d Sigafoos told the audience.<\/p>\n
The concert was a combined effort of band and chorus students, including a special senior performance. Sigafoos also shared he appreciated working with the students \u201cand seeing them grow throughout the year.\u201d While the band and chorus are small in numbers, Sigafoos told the audience that they are \u201cgrowing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The band opened with \u201cSpring\u201d by Randall Standridge and followed it with Carol Brittin Chambers\u2019 \u201cRhythmania.\u201d But, it was the clever sounds of \u201cThe Pink Panther\u201d with arrangement by Story that captivated the audience. The chorus joined the band for \u201cChorale No. 5\u201d with arrangement by Feldstein\/Clark.<\/p>\n
After a short intermission, the band and chorus seniors were recognized. The 10 seniors performed \u201cOver the Rainbow\u201d with an arrangement by Story. The students told the audience that Judy Garland made this song famous and shared it is a song that is \u201csad, but hopeful.\u201d It was noted this specific song was almost cut from \u201cThe Wizard of Oz\u201d and it turned out to become one of the \u201cbest songs of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The seniors were told that while they may take varied paths after high school, \u201cnever forget that there is no place like home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sigafoos introduced each senior and shared the students\u2019 involvement in music and other extracurricular activities. He also shared students\u2019 post secondary plans as well as honors and achievements earned. The audience cheered loudly for each senior.<\/p>\n
Following the senior segment, the chorus performed \u201cTo Make You Feel My Love\u201d with an arrangement by Shaw, \u201cThere Will Come Soft Rains\u201d by Teasdale\/Gray and \u201cPure Imagination\u201d with an arrangement by Althouse.<\/p>\n
At the end of the concert, Sigafoos told the students he was impressed with their efforts this year and looks forward to next year.<\/p>\n
