Um this is our first this is our symphony orchestra by the way and the first piece that you heard tonight was called the star of the counting down. Um and I have a particular connection to this piece. I don't think this group knows this.

The cassette tapes. Yeah, I had
009a cassette tape of him singing it. Um, we were joined by a guest pianist for this piece. Um, as as well as the next piece. Um, so please join me in giving a warm round of applause for Walter Marshall. Our next piece of music will be conducted by one of our seniors, Will Burn, who has worked incredibly hard this year. Will has performed on multiple string instruments in both orchestra in both orchestras, fiddle club, jazz band, the sound, and pit orchestra.

So, um uh but before we last, I want to make sure that everybody knows about Pop Night. Something fun that we do every year. It's one of the biggest energy crowds and and backstages of the entire year. Um, if you imagine uh karaoke but good and with a live band, that's pop. Um, so we're going to have lots of students from this ensemble singing solos that they chose and they rehearsed. Um, and we're really excited to put that on. That is next week

[Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Thank you so much. This is chamber orchestra and this is the last ensemble that you were will hear this evening. Um before we recognize
020our seniors in chamber orchestra, I would like to present a few special awards. This graduating class is especially meaningful um to me. They're my first group of seniors that I've ever had from freshman and senior year ever my entire life. Um, so it's going to be a tough group to say goodbye to. Um, choosing just a few recipients uh for these awards was incredibly difficult for our music faculty and I'm honored to present the following awards. The first award uh is the National School Orchestra Award. This award was presented to a senior who has displayed outstanding contributions and service to the orchestra and who demonstrates an unusual degree of loyalty, cooperation, and high standards in orchestra rehearsals with peers and individually. Additionally, this award goes to a senior who's worked incredibly hard to improve their
021skills at their instrument and who's made great progress in their time in orchestra. They are an outstanding individual who has become an essential element to our classroom culture. This student has taken artistic risks and in addition to orchestra has participated in jazz band, several choirs and the spring musical. It is my honor to present the National School Orchestra Award to Thomas Tier. [Music] The second award that is given to an orchestra student uh each year is the Mark Bradley Memorial Orchestra Award. This award is presented in honor of Mark Bradley who is a former Candidal Orchestra Director. Mark is remembered for having a warm-hearted demeanor, a witty yet timely sense of humor, impeccable manners, and an always present sense of style and grace. This award is presented to a senior who the Canada music department
022feels best exemplifies the spirit of Mark Bradley. And this year that student is none other than Ian Duncan. [Music] The final award of the evening is the Pete Peter C. Nelson Music Award. This award is given in honor of Mr. Nelson, a former Canondua foreign language teacher who passed away suddenly in 2015 right before he was about to perform guitar and banjo in the CA musical musical pit orchestra. Mr. Nelson spent many years supporting and encouraging Canida music students and was a shining beacon for those participating in extracurricular music groups. This award is given to none other than Wilburn for his passion dedication passionate dedication to pit orchestra throughout his time in high school, his participation in orchestra and band, and his hard work learning not one, not two, but three different string instruments while
023in high school. [Music] at this time with the help of uh Mr. John Casey, who cannot perform with us this evening because of um a recent surgery, however, is here supporting his peers. Um he's my assistant. Um I have a small token of my admiration and appreciation for all of the seniors in this group. Um I would like all seniors to come to the edge of this stage. Don't fall off though. That would be sad. Uh when your name is called, Crystal. Wait a second. Follow directions. We've been working on this for four years, folks. And I don't know what to tell you. Uh Crystal Anderson. Wilurn, Tim Curtis, Hannah Jacobs, Colton Lamb, Gabby Martin, Gabby Martin. Amelia Moore, Thomas Tierling, Holly Field, Ava Tyler, and Olivia Zogle. Oh, Ian, you're on here. I just
024accidentally skipped you. Ian Duncan. Sorry, everybody. on here as a lot of seniors. This is a lot of seniors. Okay. Um I would like Thank you, John. Give a round of applause to John. Okay. I'm going to speak to you directly now. I want to express my deepest congratulations to each and every one of you. I have been privileged to get to know you all over the past four years and you are such an integral part of our orchestra family. I honestly don't know what I would what I will do without you all here next year. I'm so excited to see where life takes every single one of you. And I want to tell you that I'm so proud of you for all of your accomplishments in your high school careers and all you will
025accomplish moving forward. I also want to thank all of the amazing families of these seniors for supporting their music education and nurturing them to be the best that they can be. I appreciate all of you. Seniors, this may be one of the last times that I have to mom you. So, I will do this publicly on stage in front of everybody. Be safe. Make good choices. Be kind to humans. Drink water. And know that we all of us in the Candidro community are here for you should you ever need anything. One more round of applause for all of our [Music] seniors. You may sit down. And we have two more pieces for you. Um, a few weeks ago, the senior class unanimously voted to include this next piece on the program just for their parents,
026especially for their parents. Um, so for this piece, please welcome back Walter Marshall on piano as we perform When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2. [Applause] [Music] We go. [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] Amen. Thank you. [Music] I'm back again. Okay, so last year there was a senior who graduated named Ezra and they started something that the jazz band and the band also kind of do. They have the green jazz jacket that goes down to a new brass player incoming senior um every year and Ezra kind of started a similar sort of thing with these green scrunchies that we were given at a fiddle club concert St. Patrick's Day last year. Um, and it has started to been passed down to an incoming senior chalice who has the skills and the energy to, as Ezra would
027say, carry the cello section. Um, and I asked Dr. Moore to let me give this down to the next incoming senior on stage. And I'm continuing that on by giving it to Sylvia, who I have been in fiddle club with and orchestra with for three years and pit this year. And she yelled at me a lot. She was very mean to me. She's very good at making sure I play in tune and with the correct bowings and everything. Um, and so it's hers now and I'm entrusting it to her to pass down to the [Applause] next. I found out about that maybe 15 minutes ago. Okay. To close our concert, please enjoy our final piece, Subterranean Dialogues by Richard Meyer. This piece features our fabulous bass section with solos by Thomas Tearlink and Jillian Bin.
028Thank you again for joining us this evening. We hope you've had a lovely time. [Music] Never. [Music] Come here. [Music] Happy. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Applause] Yes. Sorry. I need to be silly. [Music] I'm going to
