Washington Elementary music students shine under the bright lights

A packed house of parents were thrilled to watch their first- and second-grade children perform under the bright lights at North Grand Auditorium last Thursday at the Washington Elementary Winter Concert, entitled “Snow Party.”
The students showed off much of what they’ve learned under the direction of music teacher Alexis Whealy, as the second-graders kicked off the show with their “Hello Song” and then put on a student knowledge demonstration. The second-graders performed “Kye Kye Kule,” an African greeting song, which featured some instrumental solos, then performed the songs “Footprints” and “Perfect Winter Day” by Teresa and Paul Jennings.
The first-graders then took the stage — for many their first time performing under the theater lights — and performed “Hello Song” and put on another music knowledge demonstration, led by Whealy. They followed that with the songs “Snowman, Where’d You Go?” “Capo De Nieve” and “See You Later.”
