First Choir Concert of the Year

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, was their last group piece. The 7th graders performed Barka Na Wewe by Victor C. Johnson and Cuppa Cappuccino by Andy Beck. Furaha, which means ‘Joy’ by Sally K Albrecht, was 8th grade's first song, followed by The Old Mill by Kenneth Riggs.

The Concert Choir performed Gloria Fanfare by Laura Farnell and Liza (Water Come to me Eye) by Steven Burnett. Non, Nobis, Domine by Rosephanye Powell was the first-ever song the Lockwood Chorus has ever performed. This was soon followed by Light in the Hallway by Grassi, Hoying, and Mae. To end the night, all the choirs joined together to perform The Wellerman, a New Zealand folk song arranged by Jacob Narverud.
