Student showed off their talents at last week’s concert
Malibu Middle and High School students showed off their talent last week at the first concert of the semester with a “Hits From the Decades.”
Over 40 students sang, twisted, and shouted to music from The Beatles, Stevie Nicks, and Taylor Swift. Some students even stood out by wearing outfits from the different eras.Â
“I’m really glad we got the opportunity to do styles outside of the more classical genres we usually stick to,” MHS Choir President Sophie Regan said. “It made the concert really fun for the performers, as well as the audience.”
The sixth-grade choir sang “Yellow Submarine,” “Shake it Off,” “Riptide,” and “Don’t Stop Believin.”
The seventh- and eighth-grade honors choir sang popular songs such as, “I Want It That Way,” “Footloose,” “Landslide,” and “Electric Love.”
The High School Chorale danced and sang to “Dancing Queen,” and “Blame it on the Boogie.”
Parents sold refreshments and homemade baked goods during intermission. All of the money raised goes right back to the choir programs.
“Thank you to everyone who came to the show and to our amazing parents who brought homemade baked goods for sale at intermission,” Dr. Krysta Sorensen, director of the Choral Program at MM and MHS said. “We love our choir families for their support.”
Students thanked Sorensen and Joellen “Cha Cha” McNaughton for their support.
The concert ended with students clapping and grooving “Singin’ in The Rain,” and “September.”
The program also thanked Neil Cole on Sax, Vince Jurado on trumpet, and Asher Lemley on drums for their generous and talented contributions to their performance.Â
The Malibu High School Orchestra is scheduled to have a concert on Nov. 30. To see the calendar of events, visit smmusd.org/calendar.
