This was from Anna's Pop Concert. Her concert choir has been a little challenged due to staffing issues. (They hired someone only to find out in August that they were in a contract they couldn't get out of and during the school year, the second teacher was fired!!) Anyway, this young director (Matthew's age I think) came in November and saved the day after finishing her degree in music education. (Replacing 2 staff with the help of a long term sub.) It was wonderful at the end of the concert they gave the director flowers and thanked her for everything she did
The school has since hired 2 new people for the fall (one has already started), so they are on the right track. Unfortunately, Anna's year had much attrition, especially for the boys+show choir. (The boys did their own songs, no photo!) Show choir was especially awful for last years 8th graders due to Covid. Their practices were shortened and cancelled and they never got to perform. Luckily next years 9th grade class is HUGE and they seem to be holding onto most of the members. (hope hope, especially their 36+ show choir boys....show choir always needs boys! Anna's class has less than 10 boys in 9th grade show choir, which stinks for the girls, who need boys to balance out their groups.)
Anna is in the top row, 2nd from the right!
