2023 All-County Honors Chorus

On Saturday, April 29th, 2023 we had a delegation from Barton Pond attend the 2023 Wake County Elementary Honors Chorus event. Max Allen, Cara Hahn, Diem Martin, and Griffin Rhyne did an awesome job of representing our school at this concert. These students, along with their peers from across Wake County, performed "Cantar!" by Jay Althouse, "Bonse Aba" arranged by Victor C. Johnson, "I Sing Because I'm Happy" adapted by Rollo Dilworth, "The Crawdad Song" arranged by Cristi Cary Miller, and "Inscription of Hope" by Z. Randall Stroope.The clinician for the event was Sarah Kronenwetter, the choral teacher at South Garner High School. She did a phenomenal job of working with the elementary students in this ensemble. We are definitely looking forward to being a part of this event next year! Below you can see pictures of the students from Barton Pond who attended the event (from left to right-Max Allen, Griffin Rhyne, Cara Hahn, and Diem Martin).

4th Grade Symphony Field Trip

 

On Thursday, March 30th, 2023 the 4th graders at Barton Pond attended the annual North Carolina Symphony Education Concert. Every year, students experience lessons about the composers and music that is featured on the program for the concert. Our 4th graders heard works by Mozart, Beethoven, Marquez, Bizet, Coleridge-Taylor, Kelley, Still, and the Johnson brothers at the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts. The students and I had a great time at the concert. I am looking forward to attending the event next year! Above, you can see pictures from the field trip.
