Robert Seaman Elementary School Winter Concert BY DARLENE PERGOLA-APOLANT
The Robert Seaman Elementary School winter concert was a night to remember. The children were amazing and had a lot of fun. Their hard work definitely paid off! It began with the fifth grade band playing the 1st Classic Suite arranged by Mr. Steven Marsh and Mrs. Deana Verone, Wolfgang in the Percussion Box and Distant Journey, by

Joseph Compello and Paul Lavender. The pieces were beautifully played. The next group to play was the fifth grade orchestra. They played the 2nd Classic Suite led by Ms. De Gioia, performing the New World Symphony Theme by Dvorak Arr. Allen and the Theme from Brahms Symphony No 1., by, Beechy. The students were happy and gave an amazing performance with a lot of energy and rhythm. Finally, the combined fourth and fifth grade chorus ended the night with songs like, “I Need a Winter Vacation” by John Jacobson and Mac Huff. Next the fourth grade chorus sung the “A Perfect Winter Day” and the Fifth Grade Chorus sang “A Winter Blast”. The combined chorus ended the evening with “We Are Family” cleverly substituting “We” for “Seaman” and bringing everyone to their feet with a huge standing ovation! Mrs. Verone did an amazing job and led the chorus with her beautiful music. A big thankyou to Mr. Marsh, Ms. De Gioia, Mrs.Verone, and Mrs. Costanza, our pianist, for their commitment to our children.
