The wonderful Mr. Duane Davis came to Crossroads Middle School to work with the 8th grade choir on Monday, October 21st.  Mr. Davis is an accomplished professor of jazz studies and was Mrs. Hjelm's choir director back when she was young!!!  Yes, a long long time ago!!  Duane has worked at Creston High School, GRCC, and Western Michigan University.  He also is the Vocal Director for the Grand Rapids Opera!!  We are so lucky he could take the time out of his busy life to work on vocal jazz music with our singers!!  We are definitely more prepared for the FH Northern Jazz Festival which we will be a part of this upcoming Monday, October 28!!!  Hope to see lots of parents there!!

Solos for "The Boy From NY City" will be performed by:

Mariah Jennings

Leah Nelson

Georgia Wiseman

Katrina Beatty

 

Please have your kiddos to Crossroads on Monday by 5:15 for our pizza party in the cafeteria.  If they have NOT paid for their pizza and/or choir shirt ~ please have them do so ASAP!!!
