Vocal Music Concert a Huge Success

182 CMS students pack the risers at the CPS vocal concert on Oct. 29th
Chadron Public Schools held it's first 5th -12th grade vocal music concert of the season on October 29th.  All of the students and teachers did an amazing job!  The crowd was treated to an hour of song that spanned five decades of popular music.

Chadron Middle School students (5th-8th grade) started the night and sang jazz songs that concluded with the "snappy" Duke Ellington classic, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)".  The high school choir sang next and their set included Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" complete with sign language.  The Incredible Cardinal Singers wrapped it up with songs from and inspired by the 1950's. Their set included a medley classics from the movie Grease.  For the grand finale, 5th-12th grade students entertained the crowd with Neil Diamond's uplifting classic,"Sweet Caroline" before heading to the commons for ice cream sundaes. 

Congratulations to the all of the students, Mrs. Mahr, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Chasek, and Mrs. Hastings for a great concert!  Thank you to all of the parents and extended family that came out to support the kids.
