Dear LMS Harbor Family-
Every year, at our annual choir fundraiser, we take aim at finding a creative way to express ourselves musically. This year we’ve taken a literary approach. Each choir class faces the challenge of creating a production of a children’s book; thus, the concert name, A Harbor Story. This includes composing incidental music- melodic themes that will occur/reoccur throughout the performance of a book to enhance characters, scenes and moments. The process and the product are student-composed, student-arranged, student-directed, and student-performed.
Our purpose is twofold: to grow in understanding of the process of music composition and to raise money to continue building our instrumentarium and music library. Last year we were able to purchase three acoustic guitars, a drum set, an electric guitar, and the talents of educators Ed Contreras and Paul Cribari during our Choir Overnight.
As a side note, due to 50% less rehearsal time because of their every-other-day schedule, the 6th Grade performance will be comparatively smaller (though no less important) than that of the 7th/8th Grade performances. This work will focus on turning a shorter children’s book into one piece of music.
Below you’ll find information regarding Harbor Story. We look forward to seeing you at our annual fundraiser concert! As always, please email or call if you have any questions regarding the concert.
Respectfully,
Profe Gonzales
