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! |
