Spring Concert

The OLS bands and choirs produced a top-notch concert before a full house last week.  Directed by Mr. Hasenstab, the Beginning and Concert Bands showcased the instrumental talent of our student performers.  The Beginning Band tackled three selections, which showed their impressive growth and development over the last 8 months.  The Concert Band treated the audience to a wide variety of pieces, from Londonderry Air to the theme from the Pink Panther.  After their final selection, Happy by Pharrell Williams, the cheers from the crowd brought the house down.

Interspersed between the band pieces, Mr. Vizer directed all of the students in a range of choral selections.  The primary grades took the adults on a trip down memory lane with the song Arky, Arky (didn't everyone sing that at summer camp?) while the middle grades warmed our hearts with Shine, Children, Shine.  Rounding out the choral groups, the junior high students sang Hail, Holy Queen in the spirit of the lively nuns from the movie Sister Act.

Thank you, Mr. Hasenstab and Mr. Vizer, for a wonderful evening of music.  We especially thank Mr. Hasenstab for his many years of service to OLS.  You have touched many lives and raised many fine musicians.  Thank you for your dedication to our students!

The band - and the audience - give Mr. Hasenstab a standing ovation.
