Spring is here, and that means the annual Pasta and Presto event was held on Saturday April 2nd, at 4:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Nearly five hundred instrumental students from grades 3-12 and vocal students from grades 7-12 participated in the concert, and many of the students looked forward to the event.
“I’m very excited! I love performing. I just hope everyone in chorus does a good job and gets the songs right,” said Fleetwood junior Tristessa Slesinski.
Morgan Adams, another junior, was equally enthusiastic about the show: “I cannot wait to have people hear our wonderful songs.”
Some of the numbers performed included Count Basie’s “Motes Swing” and Gordon Goodwin’s “Sing, sang, sung.” There was also a piece featuring African rhythms and drumming. Mr. Ebersole, coordinator of the event, had high hopes for the performances and the turn-out.
The main high school choral and jazz concert will be held May 20th at 7:00 p.m. with an orchestra and band concert on May 26th, also at 7:00 p.m. More than 185 students will be participating in the ensembles.
The choral concert will features songs written in Latin, French, Gaelic, and English.
“There will be a wide variety of genres demonstrated, so there is something for everyone to enjoy,” said Chorus instructor Catharine Williamson. “Both concerts should prove to be entertaining and inspirational, so please come and support Fleetwood’s strong tradition of musical excellence.”
