Two soloists will be featured in "Gloria," Senior Katherine Vokes, soprano, and Freshman Jackie Robertson, cellist. '"Gloria' is made up of several smaller songs," Katherine said. "All the songs work together to make the whole piece very powerful. I'm nervous for my solo; I just have to make sure that I know all the words and can do it perfectly several times before the concert. I might end up writing the words on my hand." Jackie finds "Gloria" powerful. "'Gloria is heavenly," Jackie said. "I hope it will give the audience a kind of bliss. It's interesting that the Choir and Orchestra are doing this piece together. You usually don't see that." Starting off the evening, the Band will perform four pieces. The Orchestra will also perform "'A Charlie Brown's Christmas". "I wanted to do another piece outside of the classical genre," Orchestra Director Rozalyn Torto said. "'A Charlie Brown's Christmas' is a great piece and it's a contrast from 'Gloria', which is a more intense piece." The Choir will conclude the program with of "Psallite, unigenito" by Michael Preatorius. "The Winter concert reflects the work we have been doing during Photo by Hanna Redleaf the Fall," Mrs. Sinclair said. "I look forward to this concert most of all GETTING HER BIOOD drawn by medical at the Red Cross, October 22 in Upper Sunny because this is when the Band, Choir and Orchestra can come together tendent Adrienna Turner, Vanessa Ramirez Gym.
