UV's spring concert Tuesday night
NEW BERLIN – The lights will dim at 7:01 p.m., Tuesday in the Unadilla Valley High School auditorium as music students serenade the crowd for the last time this school year
Under the direction of band instructor Paul Hudson and choir instructor Meredith Hudson, middle and high school students get the evening started with songs from Star Wars and Titanic. They will strut their stuff as they play Canto, The Forge of Vulcan and the Empire State Salute.
Not every district has a husband and wife team to head up the band and choir and not every district has such capability to allow students to sing and play instruments hand-in-hand. Eleven band/chior members take one 90 minutes class period during the day to pick up their instruments as well as carry a tune.
“We try to get students to do it all,” said Meredith.
The spring performance is the first formal one of the year, with eight seniors taking to the stage for the last time.
“The night will be memorable and more than likely will be filled with tears. It is always hard to see them perform for the last time,” said the choir director, adding how “excited” she is that many plan to major or minor in music in college.
As graduation approaches, the students say their time at Unadilla Valley school has been a time they will forever remember. Senior Kristen Elliott said the last concert of her high school tenure will be “bittersweet.” Senior Joe Brennan said being involved in choir since the sixth grade has been an “awesome” experience.
The concert includes a string ensemble. The string performers will play Pizzicato Polka, You Raise Me Up, Air on the G String and The Syncopated Clock. Throughout the concert, Meredith said she hoped the audience experienced a sense of “poems and romanticism.”
Unadilla Valley’s elementary, middle and high schools will all be given the chance to show off their vocal talents. In addition to the opening choir number, “Dancing Queen,” performed by elementary students, student Skylar Clapperton will dance on stage.
The girls, boys and mixed choirs will sing a variety of tunes, including some in Japanese, Russian, Filipino and others.
“This is the first time the students will be allowed to hold their binders to sing, many of them know the words, but these specific songs were difficult to memorize,” said the instructor. “They have been unbelievable with the pieces so far.”
The following new chior members will be pinned during intermission: Cynthia Day, Ashlee Lynch and Jenni Mercer.
