The power of numbers
The vocal students of New Hampton Community Schools truly saved the best for last Monday night as they finished the every-other-year Parade of Choirs Concert with a flourish.Now, don’t get the wrong idea, the performances by the four choirs — Keynotes, Seventh and Eighth, NuHi Chorale and the Chamber Choir — were just fine, but “Try Everything” that was performed by both high school groups and “This is Me” performed by the 170-plus students in grades 5-12 were simply outstanding.And considering how much time those combined choirs had to work together — five minutes for the high school choirs and 10, maybe 15, minutes for the 5-12 choir — that’s saying something.— For more on this story, see the Oct. 19 New Hampton Tribune.
