Emily's Last Choir Concert
Sadly, not the best year for Emily’s last year of Choir. When she wasn’t quarantined or doing online school she enjoyed being involved in Festival Singers (the top mixed choir at the school) and in her all girls a cappella group - Nuance, and occasionally meeting up with the boys a cappella group - Fusion.
It was so fun when they announced that the Choirs could hold an End-of-Year performance. Our only concert of the year.
This year each different choir held its own concert. They had hoped that it would take place outside but with a rainy afternoon they moved it inside the auditorium and the singers sang with masks.
I got a little emotional as the performance started. So happy to see my Emily doing what she loves. Sad that she’s missed out on so much this year but so grateful for this night.
Festival Singers sang 12 songs. Nuance sang two a cappella songs - one in which Emily’s good friend, Riley was the solo! - and two a cappella songs with Fusion. They did such a great job.
A few snapshots of Emily’s a cappella group, Nuance, singing ‘Love Fool’ and ‘Landslide’. With Fusion they sang ‘That’s Christmas to Me’ and ‘I’m Yours/Somewhere Over the Rainbow’.
“Emily Johnson has been a member of Concert Choir, Women’s Ensemble, Chamber Singers, Festival Singers, and Nuance. Her favorite memory from choir is going to All-State her Junior year plus singing with Nuance her junior and Senior Year! She would like to tell the world “Treat people with Kindness.” Emily will be attending Brigham Young University studing business.”
These two girls have been best friends and singing together since they were in 5th grade… the year we moved to Colorado. They did 5th grade All-State, Middle School All-State, High School All-State and numerous concerts together in-between. Love these two girls and so grateful for their friendship.
Riley’s Senior Bio says: Riley has been a member of Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, Festival Singers and Nuance. Her favorite memories of choir were singing in the Colorado All-State Choir, singing with her best friends, and performing with Festival Singers at CMEA. She would like to tell the world, “If you put positive energy into the world, it is happiness you will receive.” Riley will be attending the University of New Hampshire to study genetics.
