Thank you so much for being here and supporting these amazing talented artists.
022I just have a few things that I'd like to say um before we conclude. I would like to present the end of year chorus awards. These awards were created to recognize students contributions to the choir program at CMS because the awards that we have are just simply not enough to recognize all the wonderful things that happen behind that wall in that choir room over there. Choir is a place where students character matters. Learning to sing and to perform together is a unique experience that requires awareness of self and others, empathy, dedication, hard work, and so so much more. So this year CMS choir is 130 students strong. All of the students today are an integral part of CMS choir and so it is to no surprise that the majority of awards recipients are in this
023very room tonight showing their dedication and love for music. So I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to present the awards to them and I would like to invite the um the very important I forget uh what I was going to say. I should have typed it. Sorry. Uh, where is Cat? I'm just gonna go off. Cat, can you come up here, please? Um, Cat's gonna help me. Uh, Cat is a rising sophomore. She works behind the scenes tirelessly. She was here with me until the we hours of the night all week. Um, and so if you could please hand me these as um as I read them off. We will start with um so yeah, you want to help me out? We'll figure it out. We didn't practice this as you
024can see. Um these awards are all nomin um nominated by the peers in choir except for one. We'll get to that later. So the first one is called shining light award student nominated. It's given to students in each grade level for spreading kindness, lifting others and contributing to the positive culture and climate of CMS choir family because choir is a family. We get along sometimes we don't get along but at the end of the day we had great celebrations like this. Um, so section uh shining light award. Can I May May I please have um all of that?

And these students, these three students were nominated in every single category, not just by their grade level, but
029by other grade levels. So this person here, he shined on the stage tonight, was nominated by students in every single grade, even though they don't actually see each other much, but he made such an impact that he popped up on every single form. And that person for director's choice for outstanding work ethic and leadership, exceptional musicianship skills, notable vocal growth, and remarkable dedication to CMS coral program.

Um before I present this last award, we are really going to miss you. When I uh was reading this to the class earlier today, I said, "Who do you drum roll please?" and then they just announced the name. They knew who it was going to be. That's how much of an impact the student
