John Taylor Family of Schools Concert

Congratulations to the Buchanan Orfflings for their excellent performance at the John Taylor Family of Schools Concert last night! You were fabulous! Check out our videos below!

It was wonderful for students and the community to see where students begin in music education, and where they can end up if they stick with it! In addition to our own Orff performance, we enjoyed choirs, dancers, drummers, recorders and bands! The entire evening ended with all participants (bands, choirs and dancers) performing "Dry Your Tears, Afrika" together. It was amazing! Unfortunately we didn't get it recorded, but maybe one will surface from an audience member!

John Taylor Family of Schools Concert

Tonight is our John Taylor Family of Schools concert - an evening put on by John Taylor as well as the elementary and middle schools that feed in to John Taylor!

"Family concerts are a collaborative venture that has identified benefits to the music community and to the larger school community.   Simply, it is an opportunity for the arts programming within one family of schools to share the accomplishments of it's students in diverse areas of arts education.  The arts educators in the John Taylor family feel that it is important to collaborate in this music making venture." - Eric Marshall, SJSD Arts Coordinator

Our Buchanan Orff Club will be performing 2 selections: Catch A Falling Star, and The Lion Sleeps Tonight. We will also be participating the mass number, Dry Your Tears Afrika.

We hope to see you there!

Date: Tues, March 19
Time: 7:00pm
Place: John Taylor gymnasium
