Marianıs Fabulous 15 held its annual spring concert in Room 312, on Tuesday, April 6, at 7pm. Under the direction of Mr. Bruce Bartels, the concert band began with a classic ³Alleluia² by Elliot Del Borgo. Also preformed were various well-known tunes from the musical ³The Wizard of Oz², along with other melodies like ³Prelude and Fugue² by Johann Sebastian Bach and ³Come Go With Me² by C.E.  Quick.

 

Some were classics while others had a more modern swing. ³I think we had a great performance and we all had fun doing it,² said junior baritone player Kendra Smith. The bandıs spring melodies brought in the spirit of the new season.

 

The Marian band consists of 15 members, some of whom play multiple instruments. The four senior members Elizabeth Kenny, Megan Verch, Lauren Andress, and Meghan Stephan were recognized for their dedication and hard work that they put into band over their last years. They were each awarded with a bouquet of flowers. The concert was followed by a short reception with the band and their friends and family.

 

Head of School Miss Elizabeth Kish was so impressed by the performance she requested that the band perform ³Alleluia² at the Easter Mass on April 16.
