Together We Sing

MS Worship Team rehearsal
The Middle School Spring Concert is here!  On Thursday, May 23 at 7:00pm in the MSS gym, middle school students will come together to present “Together We Sing,” a
concert featuring every student in grades 4-8.

The concert will include “Sing, Sing, Sing” by Benny Goodman and Louis Prima as well as “Plink, Plank, Plunk” played The Pros.  Grades 4 & 5 will play recorder and will sing “Tumekuja kuimba,” a Swahili song, “Oseh Shalom,” a Hebrew song and “The Storm is Passing Over.”

Students work together to arrange music for ukulele.

Audience members can look forward to singing along with ukulele players in grades 6-8 as well as with the Middle School Worship Team. The Chorus will sing a set of songs centered around World War II. They will also sing a set of songs that will include South African music brought to us by our own Ms. Sutton as well as a few songs from the musical theatre and pop genres. There will also be appearances by many musical guests from the MSS community!

Music is a critical part of the arts curriculum at Mustard Seed School. We are proud that every student in grades 4-8 performs at the Spring Concert.  It is one of the highlights of the year.  This is a concert you won’t want to miss! 

Here is some helpful information for parents:

Choral octavos (sheet music) that will be featured in the Spring Concert.
  • ALL students should wear their spring concert T-shirts over blue jeans or solid dark colored pants (no shorts or ripped jeans).  Shoes and jeans must adhere to the school dress code.
  • Pros should arrive at 6:00pm.  Students in Chorus should arrive at 6:30pm. Service team members and and Thunder and Lightning should arrive at 6:45pm. 
  • Parents and guests may enter the gym at 6:45pm. If it is raining, then parents may take a seat earlier than 6:45, but should keep cameras out of sight before 6:45pm and keep the flash off after 6:45pm. Phones should be silenced.
  • The concert will last a little more than an hour
To prepare for the concert:
  • Give your child some “down” time and a nutritious meal so they have energy and focus for the concert. The concert takes a lot of energy!
  • Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to find parking if you are coming with a car.
See you at the Spring Concert!
