The winter concert season continued with performances by the fifth grade Beginning Band and sixth grade Cadet Band on Thursday evening. The event also included vocal performances from the fifth grade class.
The concert, held on December 4, began with four vocal selections by the fifth graders, all focused on a 2000s pop music theme. Songs performed included “Unwritten,” “Beautiful Day,” and “Life is a Highway.” A surprise song was also presented, known only to the students and their music teacher Mrs. Becky Bajt until they took the stage. Students were involved in introducing songs and creating designs for the concert program.
Coal City Intermediate School’s fifth grade Beginning Band made its debut performance at this event. These students have been learning their instruments since the start of the school year and played nine pieces during their first concert. They were joined by guest conductor Mr. Leve, one of their teachers.
The sixth grade Cadet Band followed with five numbers, including holiday favorites such as “Sleigh Ride,” “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and “Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!”
Mr. Andrew Brimm directs both Coal City’s Beginning and Cadet Bands.
The next scheduled event is the high school winter concert on Tuesday, December 9 at 7 p.m., to be held at the Coal City Performing Arts Center. This concert will feature performances by the concert band, symphonic band, jazz band, brass quintet, and percussion ensemble.
