This school year the East High School choir is going through a massive change from previous years. From members to songs, expect a brand new approach to performances this year. As of today, nearly 40 students are enrolled in the Upper School Choir, which is the most we’ve had in years. Newcomers include cohort 2018 freshmen and upperclassmen pursuing a new talent, or just looking for a place to be happy. Not only are our members different, our conductor is too. Mr. Luke Wilson has returned to the main podium for our 2018-2019 performances and onwards. And he has big plans. He says, "The choir this is taking a different approach. This year will be all about music appreciation as well as developing one’s own sound. Everyone has something about music in which they identify. With this, people feel a sense of ownership when they finally muster up the courage express it. My job for the remainder of my time at East is to help students develop their own vocal identity while learning to appreciate others’ differences." As usual, our performance schedule extends far beyond the Winter and Spring concerts. (Which, by the way, take place December 13th and May 30th respectively) We are also performing at the annual Veteran’s Day assembly November 1st, and the Black History Month assembly on February 14th. A new event on our schedule this year is a Cabaret Night, an event where the audience sits at tables listening to good music and eating good food, happening at the end of March. Stay tuned for more information about this exciting new event.
