International Night 2007! Chorus Rocks! Middle Eastern Drums Rule!

International Night, March 9, was a great success. The Eastvalley PTA did a fabulous job of coordinating the tables, food, and entertainment to make this one of the most enjoyable events of the year! Thanks to all the families who participated by attending, and special thanks to those of you who shared your cultural heritage with the Eastvalley community.

The Eastvalley Eagle Chorus began the evening's entertainment with our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, and then sang Frere Jacques as a 4-part round with xylophone and metallophone accompaniment. They continued with a tribute to our troops, You Are Our Heroes. They concluded with Wind on the Hill, followed by a powerful rock song with an anti-drug message, My Mind is Mine! As always, the chorus sounded terrific.

Next was an exhibition of Middle Eastern Drumming performed by several Eastvalley students. In the near future, I hope to post a video of the drum performance.
