Welcome to the 2025 Grove Elementary 3rd - 5th Grade Honors Chorus Page. I am excited about the sound, behavior, and attitude of our students. As a result of their hard work, we are going to sound AMAZING. Here you will find the songs we are learning and the practice schedule. We will practice every Tuesday and Thursday morning 7:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. We have have an extended practice every Wednesday 2:20 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. It is during the after school rehearsal that we will learn a lot of stuff including the parts to our songs, lyrics, choreography, and team building to become a cohesive performing unit.

Veterans Day Lyrics -
1.- The Star Spangled Banner – Key of F
The American National Anthem - By Francis Scott Key
Oh say can you see-- by the dawn's early light--, what so proud--ly we hailed-- at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars--, through the perilous fight--, o're the ram--parts we watched--, were so gallantly streaming-. And the roc-ket’s red glare--, those bombs burs-ting in air--, gave proof- through the night--; that our flag was still there--. Oh say does that- Star Spangled Banner-- yet wave--; o’er the land-- of the free-- and the home- of the- brave--.
2.- Pledge of Allegiance – led by _____________________ – Salute, Pledge I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all.
3.- __________________- Join Us In A Salute To The American Flag
You’re A Grand Old Flag – Key of E-flat
You're a grand old flag, you're a high-flying flag, and forever in peace may you wave! You're the emblem of the land I love, the home of the free and the brave. Every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue, and there's never a boast or brag. And may all acquaintance be forgot, keep your eye on the grand old flag.
4.-______________ - The America we see is beautiful and full of possibilities.
America The Beautiful – Key of F “start on C”
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain; for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee; and crown thy good with brotherhood; from sea to shining sea!
5.- ______________- We have read the stories of people of all nationalities defended, and defending our great country for the price of freedom.
6.- America – Key of E-flat
My country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, from every mountain side Let Freedom ring.
7.- God Bless America – Key of E-flat
God Bless America, Land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above; from the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America, my home, sweet home. God bless America, my home, sweet home.
8. The American Military Medley – Key of F
The Army - “The Caisson Song” Over hill--, over dale---, we will hit the dusty trail, and the caissons go rolling along. In and out, hear them shout, counter march and right about, And the caissons go rolling along. Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hee! in the field artillery. Shout out your numbers loud and strong! 1, 2, For where ever you go, you will always know that the caissons are rolling along.
The Marines - “The Marine’s Hymn” From the Halls of Montezu---ma to the
shores of Tripoli, We will fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea. First to fight for right and freedom and to keep our honor clean. We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines.
The Navy - “Anchors Aweigh” Anchors aweigh, my boys, anchors aweigh. Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day (day, day, day). Through our
last night on shore, drink to the foam. Until we meet once more, here’s wishing you a happy voyage home.
The Coast Guard - “Semper Paratus” - (It means “always ready” in Latin)
We’re always ready for the call, we place our trust in Thee. Through surf and storm and howling gale, high shall our purpose be. “Semper Paratus” is our guide, our fame and glory, too. To fight, to save, to fight and die! Aye! Coast Guard we are for you! (Go to the Key of E-flat for the Air Force song)
The Air Force - “The U.S. Air Force” Off we go into the wild, blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun. Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
“At them boys, give ‘er the gun!” Down the dive, spouting your flame from
under, off on one terrible course! We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey,
nothing will stop the U.S. Air Force.
