On March 15, Willow Road School held its first of two spring concerts. It was no surprise that, once again, the students and music directors captivated the audience with a spectacular presentation.
Included in the program were the band and orchestra, conducted by Ms. Cynthia Shannon and the chorus, directed by Mrs. Kristan Nordquist, with special performances by an amazingly talented string quartet that performed "The Barber of Seville's Dream.” To add to the show, the Willow Road School’s very own rock band, Rock Nation, rocked out their rendition of "Crazy Train.” The grand finale was set to the song "I Gotta Feeling" and featured the chorus, band and orchestra.
Of significant note, is the fact that this year Willow Road School has 33 participants in NYSSMA, the New York State School Music Association Festival, including 5 from orchestra, 11 from band and 17 from chorus. This is a true testament to the Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen’s outstanding music program and the dedication of these talented musicians and vocalists.
