Calling all Photographers and Videographers!
• Posted 10/29/08
We are looking for
pictures--ANY PICTURES--of our choirs and choir students to add
to our new website. If you or your parents have taken
pictures of concerts or other performances this year or last
year, please e-mail some to Mrs. Ritter! They can
be of any group. If you have video footage of any groups,
she would love to hear from you about that, too.
Quote
of the Month
November:
"Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the
back, and instead of dying, he sings." -Robert Benchley
October:
“All of one’s life is music
if one touches the notes rightly and in tune.”-John
Ruskin
August/September:
“The whole problem can be
stated quite simply by asking, ‘Is there a meaning to
music?’ My answer would be, ‘Yes.’ And ‘can you state in
so many words what the meaning is?’ My answer to that would
be, ‘no.’” -Aaron Copland
