Thank You A Cappella Choir and Wind Ensemble

Thank you to the musicians of the A Cappella Choir and Wind Ensemble for your marvelous work today in support of the Veteran's Day Assembly program.  Your musicianship, and your professionalism, were fabulous.
 
I was standing next to Dr. Sorensen at the end of the program when an 80-year old Veteran approached.  He commented that he has been to dozens of Veteran's Day programs at high schools and colleges all over the country, and that, "North High has defined 'the bar' that all other schools only hope they might achieve."  He was absolutely effusive in his complements about the entire ceremony, including your music.
 
I told the members of the Wind Ensemble today that I wished each of you could have had the experience of standing where I stood today during the program.  From my vantage point I could see directly into the eyes of many of our distinguished guests.  It was so evident in watching their reactions to the choral music, and the instrumental music, that they were deeply moved by your performances.
 
A special thank you to Megan Hung for her work accompanying the A Cappella Choir, and to Joe Pacheco and Tommy Donnelly for their performance of "Echo Taps." 
 
Well done all!
 
With appreciation,
