Middle School Choir Tour

This week, 5th graders and Crestwood Chorus members were treated to a performance from the Sperreng and Truman Middle School Choirs. The two ensembles came together to perform some music from their Holiday concert just for us. What a treat!

Students were able to ask the performers questions about middle school and what it's like to sing in choir everyday. Crestwood was such a great audience! We look forward to hosting Sperreng and Truman again next year!

Check out some of the "sculptures" 5th graders made!

Funga Alafia


Funga Alafia

Below is the playlist of rehearsal tracks for Funga Alafia.

I suggest practicing with just the voices first, then add your part with the piano. If you're doing well, try singing with both parts!!!
