For students that have been in the music program for the past four years, from freshmen to senior year, they have performed countless concerts and performances. On Thursday, May 21, these singers stood on stage for one last time.

The concert was held at the Theodore Kloos auditorium. The symphonic band, conducted by Donna Burmylo-Magrann with the band assistant director, Michael Lipton, performed three beautiful musical pieces: The opening song was “Conquista,” followed by “Repercussions.” After those two pieces were performed, Magrann announced the name of the seniors graduating and what their future plans were going to be.

The symphonic band’s last piece ,“Baba Yetu,” is a Swahili language translation of “The Lord’s Prayer. and was performed with the concert choir. After the concert’s intermission, the concert choir performed “Elijah Rock,” a spiritual piece, performed acapella.

After this piece was performed, a group of soloists from the select and concert choir performed “Seasons of Love,” from the musical, “Rent.” Then, soloists Catherine Turner and Sarah Evans introduced the beginning of “Into the West,” a song from “The Lord of the Rings” sound track.

This was followed by a medley from “Les Misérables,” which included seven songs from the musical, like “I Dreamed a Dream,” solo performed by Carly Curran, and “On My Own,” performed by Morgan McCormick.

The concert ended with “We Are One.” The seniors stepped down from the risers and into the pit to be accompanied by their parents to sing. A bitter-sweet moment, this final performance filled the eager seniors with more anticipation for graduation.
