All of us music coaches had the privilege of attending different Veteran's Day programs today, and I hear they were all fabulous! I felt so lucky to attend the Veteran's Day Performance at Holbrook. It was absolutely perfect.
This table set the tone from the moment you entered the school.
To begin the program, all of the Veterans in the audience were invited to the front.
These Veterans were family invited by students. They all had the opportunity to introduce themselves and briefly explain their service. This was a perfect way to set the tone for the assembly. It created a connection between the students and the purpose of Veteran's day.
The students sung You're a Grand Old Flag. Every single student had a flag to wave. The movements were coordinated with the song, and it was an impressive effect that was a grand start to a perfect program.
Every song had movement and a tactile prop that the students used.
The students made some of these props...check it out. (I'll edit the post later and add a couple more clips that I should be receiving soon.)
I only got a short clip of this awesome plate routine...I wish I had gotten more of it.
On this song, the upper grade students played a harmony part while the rest of the school sang. It was a quality performance. The notes were correct and sounded in balance with the rest of the music, the students knew the words to the songs and sung them beautifully and clearly. The slideshow in the background was a perfect touch.
The veterans exited the auditorium between this tunnel, shaking hands and receiving honor for their service to our country, while the students sung the Armed Forces Medley.
What an honor it was to be able to attend this fabulous, patriotic assembly.
