Lotspeich Showcases
Lotspeich kindergarten through fourth grade students performed their final drama scenes of the year for family and friends in early to mid-May. Every day for a week, the Red Barn became a professional theater, where the young actors could display their outstanding creativity, passion, and more. Each grade performed a different production, which included a comedic retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood” and Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are.” Bravo, Lotspeich drama students!
Doherty Drama Night
Doherty kindergarten through Unit II students delighted their peers and parents as they showed off their drama skills during Doherty Drama Night. Kindergarten and Unit I performed page-to-stage plays, and Unit II highlighted their scene work using selections from “Totally Red!” Bravo, Doherty drama students!
Instrumental concerts
The Schiff Center was filled with the sounds of violins, cellos, flutes, and much more in early May during the Middle School and Upper School concerts.
The sixth grade ensemble played five arrangements, which included a crowd favorite, “Cantina Band” from “Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope.” Soon after, the seventh grade ensemble took to the stage, performing five songs from various genres. The eighth grade ensemble followed suit, showcasing their skills with songs like “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “Skyfall.”
During the Upper School concert, the symphonic ensemble played four arrangements: “Ghillie Dhu,” a James Bond theme, a tribute to Dave Brubeck, and “Carry on Wayward Son.” The contemporary ensemble played five arrangements, including “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” “Just the Two of Us,” “What I’d Say,” and finally, “Out of the Doghouse.”
The concerts were a fantastic culmination of a year of hard work. Congratulations to our student musicians and instrumental teacher, John Rising!
