On Friday, October 6th, 2023 and Saturday, October 7th, 2023 a delegation of students from Barton Pond attended the Raleigh Youth Choir's annual explosion festival held at Ligon Magnet Middle School. Students got to work with the staff of the Raleigh Youth Choir, which includes Jeremy Tucker, Bo Reece, Amy Davis, Katie O'Neill, Emily Turner, and Aaron Brown. The event culminated with a concert for the community. The songs on the program included "Al Shlosha D'varim" by Allan Naplan, "Fly, Fly, Fly" by Kelsey Hohnstein-Reinhart, "Be the Light" by Franklin Willis, "Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop" arranged by Steve Zegree, "Three Quotes by Mark Twain" arranged by Andrea Ramsey, and "Woodchuck" by Mark Burrows. Our bullfrogs had fun learning in rehearsals and workshops, meeting new people, eating pizza, and performing for their parents. We hope to participate in this event again in the future!
