SHHS choir to perform with Jefferson bands

Sweet Home High School’s Symphonic Choir will perform its second annual Send-Off Concert at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 21, at the high school auditorium.

The event will feature the Symphonic Choir and defending 3A state champion Jefferson High School Concert and Jazz Bands.

The Symphonic Choir will sing several pieces, including “The Moon Is Distant From the Sea” by David N. Childs, “Set Me As A Seal” by Rene Clausen, and “Soon Ah Will Be Done” by William Dawson, which received a standing ovation at both their Winter and Fall concerts.

Jefferson High School Concert and Jazz Bands’ selections include “Green Hills Fantasy” by Thomas Doss and “Song Without Words” by Gustav Holst and jazz selection “Hey Pachuco” arranged by Shane Porter.

This concert is the kick-off to the choir’s and bands’ trip to Portland, Oregon and Grand Mound, Wash. The trip will take the students around Portland and Grand Mound, visiting attractions such as the Oregon Zoo and Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI).

“We’re excited about getting these two talented groups together and getting ready for state,” said Matthew Clark, director of Sweet Home choirs. “We have a clinic planned with Warner Pacific University and I think it will really benefit us while preparing for state and other spring time performances.”

Both Sweet Home Symphonic Choir and Jefferson High School Concert Band have qualified for state this year. The choir is waiting to hear whether it has been selected out of the pool of qualifiers to actually compete at the state championship on May 7.
