🙌🙌🙌Let's give a big congratulations to Vocal Jazz Students . 🙌🙌🙌
They traveled to Darien Lake Six Flags last Friday, May 31, and performed three songs in front of an Adjudicator. They performed Choral Selections from the musical, Aida, a song originally recorded by Celtic Thunder and Celtic Woman called "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears," and they performed "One Day More" from Les Miserables.
Vocal Jazz received aural and written feedback. They received a score of 97 / 100 and lost no points for showmanship. They placed Second Place in the Show Choir Category. Kayleigh Banfield (9th Grade) received an award for Outstanding Soloist for her solo as Eponine in "One Day More."
Simply awesome stuff all the way around!! #foreverfalcons

High School Chorus has welcomed two guests recently. Rebecca Witty, an opera singer, came and worked with students on March 28. Rebecca gave the whole Chorus, including some 7th and 8th Grades students, feedback on singing and instruction during their warm ups. Rebecca also listened to four singers preparing to attend NYSSMA Solo Festival and taught them in a Master Class setting, which is individualized instruction in front of a group of people for the benefit of all. Rebecca worked with Abby Sherry (Grade 12), Sylvia Brock (Grade 11), Jacob Borst (Grade 11), and Ruthie Dendis (Grade 11). Students participated in a Q and A session as well.
On May 7, Dr. Daniel David Black, Director of Choral Activities at Houghton University, visited students in preparation for their upcoming concert. Dr. Black worked with Vocal Jazz students as well as HS Chorus. He instructed them through warm ups and did some fine tuning on pieces for the concert.
Kyla Perry, Choral Director at South Seneca, attended Houghton University with Rebecca Witty and Dr. Black. She was very happy to bring their immense vocal expertise to our students.
🎶🎵Congrats to our staff and students for last night's INCREDIBLE grades 6 through 12 Chorus Concert. It was a truly brilliant performance to be proud of! #foreverfalcons 🎶🎵

The glow dance was a fun experience for our MS students this past weekend. Thank you to all the students and staff who helped make this memory for our kids.
On May 3rd, students in the South Seneca TC3 Ceramics classes participated in the 35th Annual Feats of Clay competition. They competed against 30 other schools in the cylinder stack, mug production, no hands throw, blindfold throw, pot put, and the highest hand-built vessel. Students used their knowledge of clay techniques, teamwork, and sportsmanship to compete. In the end, South Seneca was ranked 17th out of 31. Although we didn't win, a fun time was had by all.
