On April 12 the Chequamegon High School Band and the Choirs performed in the Wisconsin School Music Association large group festival that was held at the Prentice School District. The band, both the high school choirs and the middle school choir received first place from a panel of three judges. Our middle school band attended a different festival, doing very well too. Once again, this is an example of the kind of high quality experiences we have been able to provide for our students. I want to thank Mr. Pollock, Mr Donner, Ms. Kirch for their fine efforts to bring out the best in our students. I also want to recognize and thank Diane Johnson for her good work as the elementary music teacher. The strong foundation she has given these students in elementary school is a primary reason for the strength of the program at the high school level. I would like to go on record thanking her for those efforts since her position is one of the reductions that will take place as a result of the failed referendum.
So you can see and hear for yourself a sample of the good work our students are doing I have attached videos of one of the band's pieces performed at the contest, a march titled Little English Girl. I do not have a video of the choir's performance that day but I have attached a video of the Madrigal performing the National Anthem at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee prior to a Milwaukee Bucks game in February. These are the types of experiences that these students will look back on for many years to come. It is my sincere hope that we will be able to continue to provide these kind of life enriching experiences to students in the future.
