the students did a great job this evening at the whittier wizard's winter concert! this was the first year i remember the orchestra (a smattering of instruments--trumpets, clarinets--in the key of b flat, some flutes, and an army of bow-wielding violinists) and the chorus sharing the concert bill. it was nice to see the two musical groups play the same night. i really enjoyed hearing the students play mr. gibson's (orchestra teacher/conductor) own composition.
last year was the first year our new chorus teacher, ms. radovich prepared the students, and they completely blew me away! i think the entire fifth grade team was blown away... we'd never heard the students at whittier sing prettier (those pesky rhyme flows keep seeping into my writing...)!!! this year our track b schedule kind of wreaked havoc with their practice schedule, but they pulled off an energetic and fun-filled show nonetheless. i especially loved the hand percussion!
congratulations to all who participated--especially those in room 75 tribe!!!
and a shout-out to mrs. mank for providing flowers to our great music teachers--so thoughtful!

Could Mr. Gibson be the son of the late Bob and Nadine Gibson? Remember she always asked me about you and your music whenever I'd see her at church.
She was my prof for Music for Elementary Teachers at CSULB many years ago.
What a small world if he is their son.
hmmmm... i don't know... i guess i'll have to ask. btw, his name is craig.
