First Choir Concert of the year

by Emilee Shults

We had our first-ever choir concert that included the Lockwood Chorus. It also had the middle school’s 6th, 7th, and 8th choirs and the high school concert choir. It was conducted by Quentin Staton, the choir and theater teacher here at Lockwood. The accompanist is Arle Lohof, also a special thanks to Conner Haman, the percussionist. To start the evening, the 6th graders welcomed the audience with Funga Alafia, which is ‘The Song of Welcome’ by Jill Gallina, and The Fiddler’s Bend, arranged by Catherine DeLanoy, which was their last group piece.
