This concert will feature State-Qualifying Sweet Home High School Symphonic Choir and Defending 3A State Champions Jefferson High School Concert and Jazz Bands.
Sweet Home Symphonic Choir will sing several pieces, including “The Moon Is Distant From the Sea” by David N. Childs, “Set Me As A Seal” by Rene Clausen, and “Soon Ah Will Be Done” by William Dawson, which received a standing ovation at both their Winter and Fall Concerts.
Some of the Jefferson High School Concert and Jazz Bands selections include “Green Hills Fantasy” by Thomas Doss and “Song Without Words” by Gustav Holst and jazz selection “Hey Pachuco” arranged by Shane Porter.
This concert marks the beginning of Sweet Home Symphonic Choir and Jefferson High School Concert and Jazz Band’s trip to Portland, Oregon and Grand Mound, Washington. The trip will take the students around Portland and Grand Mound, visiting attractions such as the Oregon Zoo and Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). Matthew Clark, director of Sweet Home choirs says, “We’re excited about getting these two talented groups together and getting ready for state. We have a clinic planned with Warner Pacific University and I think it will really benefit us while preparing for state and other spring time performances.” Both Sweet Home Symphonic Choir and Jefferson High School Concert Band have qualified for state this year.
