Mrs. Bahns directed the preschool students who sang “If I Were a Duck” and “Mr. Golden Sunshine.”
Mrs. Wemhoff directed K-6 classes who all sang medleys with different themes in rock and roll.
The kindergarten class sang a mashup of songs from the birth of rock and roll: “Rock and Roll is Here to Stay,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Hound Dog,” “Nadine (Is It You),” “Peggy Sue,” and “Where the Boys Are.”
The first and second grade classes sang “British Invasion” - a medley of songs by British artists and bands: “Help!,” “I’m Henry VII, I am,” “Start Me Up,” “Pinball Wizard,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
The third and fourth grade classes sang another mashup of rock songs including “California Girls,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Rock This Town,” I’m a Believer,” “Somebody To Love,” “Heartache Tonight,” and “You Give Love a Bad Name.”
The fifth and sixth grade classes joined together to end the night singing some more rock classics. Their medley included the songs “Sweet Caroline,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
"The elementary concert went really well! The students worked hard and performed some pretty challenging music. Even our 1st and 2nd graders sang in two parts, which is tough at that age,” Mrs. Wemhoff said, “I heard a lot of positive feedback, people especially loved the classic rock songs. It was great to see the kids having fun and the audience enjoying it, too."
Jace Clausen said, “The concert went well and I'm super sad that it's my last concert in elementary school. I'm excited to continue singing in junior high.”
