Elementary Spring Concert

​Earlier this month Mr. Hutchison directed the Elementary students in their annual Spring concert. The audience enjoyed a variety of choirs and bands, as well as the Midland Bell Choir, directed by Mrs. Laura Borne. One of the most enjoyable songs of the evening was the K-2 choir's spirited rendition of a song in Spanish, which had the audience, especially the Spanish speakers, in fits of laughter. For pictures from the concert, review the gallery on the Music Department's home page.
