Jr/Sr. High Music Concert Held
On Friday, April 11, the Leigh choir and band performed at the Leigh High School gym.
Sophomore band member Wyatt Langhorst said, “It was nice to perform in front of the home crowd, to show what we have been working on.”
The High school choir sang “Here Comes the Sun” and “Lunar Lullaby.” The Junior High Band performed “Smoke on the Water,” “Gimme Some Lovin,’” and “Paint it Black.”
The Junior High Choir sang “Cantar!” “Most People are Good,” and “I’m Still Standing.” The High School Band played “Alamo March” and “Blue Ridge Overture.”
There were three soloists. Junior Sydney Messerlie sang “Wayfaring Stranger.” Senior Paige Kurpgeweit sang “How Can I Keep from Singing?” and senior Emily Stender performed “Turquoise” on the trombone.
Band and Choir instructor Sydney Wemhoff said. "The concert went very well. It was a great opportunity for our high school students to perform some of their District Music Contest pieces in front of an audience. The contest will be held next Friday, April 25, at Norfolk High School. The band will be performing both of their pieces, while the choir will present one piece as a small women's ensemble. We also have seven soloists, three duets, and one trio competing. We wish them all the best of luck!"
