Just as I’m running out of accolades, Bayard’s Public
Schools stamped a period on its musical stage exhibitions for the 2015-16
school year. The Jr. High Choir, Magic Rhythm, and the 21st Century
Singers entertained their audience to a performance sprinkled with the seeds of
Broadway.
While musicians injected intensity into those groups, those groups
injected intensity into the musicians. The result: Together, they injected
intensity into a performance that spellbound us Homo sapiens that braved the
outside elements to fill seats in the auditorium.
The spectacle meshed hearts, minds, and souls with blues and
rhythm, and a moving display of harmonious artistry that concluded with the
Star Spangled Banner.
Packages of talent were unwrapped to reveal what lay
underneath.
The audience felt a melodic bond, camaraderie, and a oneness
with what made a barren stage come alive.
The spotlight sometimes shone on the seniors who were making
their final appearance as part of the 21st Century Singers. They
leave holes to fill; Bayard thanks them for sharing their special gift with us.
As for the rest of you, over the summer, practice your do,
re, mi’s, or whatever they are, along with those things you blow into to make
sounds, or beat on for the rat a tat syndrome. Bayard looks forward to watching
and listening to you next year. Thanks.
