Feeder Concerts

Jr. Jackrabbit Concert - Jan 22nd - Danni is in A Cappella Choir and they sang a new song plus two of my favorite songs this year.  "Fugue in C minor" was the new song and "Lux Aurumque" and "Ritmo" were my favorite songs.  The choir invited several elementary schools to sing along with them for the last number.  It was liking "Finding Waldo" as you looked for your child.  I never did find Angela during that last number.  Luckily I saw her when she sang with the Taylor Junior High choir.

Mesa High "Carry On" Concert - Jan. 27th - The Full Orchestra performed by themselves and with Taylor Junior High.  It was a great concert and I love hearing the band instruments with the orchestra.  Before the high school and junior high school kids performed, there were several elementary schools that performed.  It was fun to see some Porter peeps up there performing.  One day, those kids could be up there performing as a Mesa High student.  That's the reason behind these concerts.

Carry On Future's Concert -Jan 29th  - The Mesa High Band invited several junior high and elementary school bands to play with them.  At first, the Mesa High band played "Ascend" and "Chorale and Shaker Dance II"  Josh' always talks about the Chorale and Shaker dance, so I'm sure he loved playing that particular song.  For the combined songs, TJHS and MHS played "Pirates of the Caribbean" completed with the video.  There were way too many kids to have all of the kids on stage, so Mesas High kids stood in the back while the elementary and junior high kids played on stage.  It was great to hear the song in surround sound.
