Many classes have been working on special projects. Mr. Swain's class and the two 6th grade classes have been preparing music for the Renaissance Fair on May 1. Recorders have been learning dances from that period of time in 2 part harmony. All three have learned the madrigal, "Now Is The Month of Maying." All three are performing the Maypole dance. We were treated to a performance by the madrigal Singers (in costume) from Schenectady High School, directed by Mrs. Gayne. Their performance was excellent - full of energy and enthusiasm. We even had an opportunity to sing our madrigal with them!

Kindergarten classes have been practicing a musical number that Mrs. Loiacono has arranged for their skit about Frog and Toad. Don't be surprised if you hear some "ribbits" and "croaks" around Yates!!!!

The Spring Concert will take place on May 24 at 1:30 p.m. in the auditorium. All third graders, Bel Canto, Salina Street Singers are busy perfecting their songs. Bank, Orchestra and 6th grade recorders will also perform in this concert. We hope that you can attend this special afternoon of music making!
